Do you also have a GUI desktop with orca installed? If yes, you may be running into the problem where speech-dispatcher grabs the sound card through pulseaudio, and doesn't give espeakup access to it through alsa. I haven't used pulse in a long time, so don't recall exactly how to check this. If this is the case, you can edit speech-dispatcher's config file, and tell it not to use pulse. I believe there's also a way to get espeakup and speech-dispatcher to play nicely with pulse, but someone else will have to cover that, assuming my recall of this being possible is correct.
