Thank you very much. I probably missed the update and that is exactly what is wrong, here. I knew I needed to install an upgraded version of speakup as the problems coincided exactly with the upgrade. Before I do this, this system is an older 600 MHZ 32-bit processor. The Debian image I downloaded was stretch for the I86 systems. Does this even matter? Again, thanks.
