Hi Kirk and Janina, I won't ship a 5.3.x Kernel in Slint anyway as it is officially EOL upstream, however I plan to provide a 5.4 kernel soon and would like to have it tested wrt this issue. I do not own a hard synth so can only test with speakup_soft myself, but I could ask Slint users to do so with a hard synth (ltlk at least and probably apollo as well). With which driver did you try: soft or hard and then which hard synth? Also Janina, does this issue occur also with linux 5.4.6.arch3-1? As an aside, Kirk did you try one of the package labeled linux-image-5.4.0-1-<something> provided for Debian SID?
