Hi.
Have you tried using modprobe -r to remove the speakup modules and then
modprobe to reload them?
I've found it best to change the default synth to none before
disconnecting a serial synth in speakup 2.0.
I have never been able to successfuly disconnect and reconnect a serial
synth like you could with speakup 1.5.
Hope this helps.
