Can you try this on another computer? It might be the computer's settings that were changed, and not the synth.

Yes, Windows does recognize the Dectalk in USB mode. This makes the third time that I have updated the firmware. Just for grins, I tried updating the firmware, and when I say firmware I mean the bin file and the flash firmware itself, with the switch on both settings. Windows recognizes the USB cable, it detects the hardware, but not in Serial mode with JAWS. However, when I try to use Speakup and Linux, doing a modprobe for Dectalk won't find any Dectalk on the system whatsoever. However, I can remove the Dectalk from the USB port and use Brltty with my Braille display on the same serial port perfectly. Since neither Windows nor Linux will recognize the Dectalk in serial mode, I figure something is amiss with the Dectalk in serial mode. I am using the cable that came with the Dectalk USB. All worked well on both computers until I ran Gnopernicus to test the software Festival voice and the Dectalk started spewing forth lots and lots of garbage for no reason....... I'll be calling Access Solutions on Monday, I'll probably need to send the unit in for repair. My problem now is that while I fix it, I have no hardware synthesizer and I can't do my Linux homework or my school Linux exams until I get the Dectalk back or I buy or borrow another synthesizer. Any suggestions from anyone where I can obtain a used, and inexpensive, solution for Linux?
