Hi Janina, IIRC you are running Arch. Right? If yes, looking at the PKGBUILD I see that it grabs a snapshot from git at the commit d25ed10d dated 22 nov. 2018: https://github.com/brailcom/speechd/commit/d25ed10d5ede8c0f747211928fbd5f742d753556 So I am puzzled that you just get it, knowing the PKGBUILD was last updated on 24. Nov. 2018... So, I can't see a reason for speech-dispatcher be in concern for an issue occurring this week. And espeakup-git (if that's what you use) was last updated on 2019-01-03 18:14. So I am puzzled. I don't know what happened recently, but this issue should be reported to your distribution rather than to upstream IMHO. Also, a tip: you can set ALSA_CARD before starting espeakup, it will honor this setting. This how we now do in Slint, cf. attached file /etc/espeakup.conf. To know which files are involved in Arch, have a look at the bottom of https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=espeakup-git Sorry I can't provide further guidance, not running Arch.

# Configuration file for espeakup # To provide a value that differs from the default one, remove the first # character '#' from the line and modify the value. # Values outside the authorized range are silently ignored. # Your modifications will be applied when espeakup will be restarted # For that, save the modified file then either reboot or type as root: # /etc/rc.d/rc.espeakup restart # ***Voice # The voice used should match the language in use.

To know more about your sound cards, type: aplay -l # or aplay -L # By default ALSA_CARD=0 (the first sound card), but if you used # espeakup during installation, ALSA_CARD will be initially set to the # id of the card you selected at the beginning of Slint installation # #ALSA_CARD=0
