That sounds suspiciously similar to a problem I am having with the doubletalk driver module. When I load the speakup_ltlk module on 64 bit hardware, it gives an error message something like, "no such device". But it works on 32 bit hardware. The problem developed around kernel 2.6.32 and continued through 3.1. Is an error message displayed when you load the dectalk driver? Does it happen on both 32 and 64 bit hardware?
