I don't understand though why you're specifying the synth name. If you run modinfo speakup, and look at the parameters list, you'll see: parm: synth:Synth to start if speakup is built in. (charp) I take it your speakup is fully modularized, else you wouldn't be playing with configuring it in modprobe.d. In that case passing the synth option makes no sense to me any way. If you're wanting to start speakup and use soft synth, which is what I think you want, then try doing what I do: 1. In your /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf file put options speakup quiet=1 In your /etc/modules file, put speakup_soft Then, speakup should start quietly at boot with soft being the default synth, at least that's how it works for me on multiple squeeze systems. > The first word I hear on boot is "failed!".

Don't worry about that, it still works like it should, for me anyway. HTH.
