You do this by passing quiet=1 to the speakup module. How you do that depends on the distribution of gnu/linux you're using, and on if you have speakup load in your initial ramdisk or not (assuming you have an initrd). Typically, you want to create a file in /etc/modprobe.d. You can call that file whatever you want, as long as it ends in .conf (E.G. local.conf or speakup.conf). This file should contain the following line: options speakup quiet=1 > Speakup keeps speaking during boot and resetting the alsamixer settings and > I need it to remain silent and to leave alsamixer settings alone. Hmmm, first time I've heard of speakup resetting alsamixer settings. > I'd also be fine if there was a way to force and keep Speakup on a different > sound card. That depends on what software synthesizer is being used, and on if you're using espeakup, or speech-dispatcher, or something else. If you're using espeakup, you need to export ALSA_CARD=1 to use espeakup through the second sound card. On debian and derivatives, you can set this up in /etc/default/espeakup.
