Are you using software speech with both speakup and orca? I've had this problem with sound not working on the command line after running orca. In my case, gnome/orca started a pulseaudio process running as my user, even though I have pulseaudio and speechd-up configured to run as a system daemon. Killing the pulseaudio process running as my user gets sound back. You may need to restart speechd-up service as well, as I sometimes have a problem with this too, but I usually use hardware speech, so I don't remember the scenario where that is necessary to do as well.
