Yes, I've been testing devuan 3 beta install isos this past week, which is based on debian 11. If I attempt to do the install in a VirtualBox 5.2.38 guest using software speech, speech goes away right after I get the screen to select the language, and I try to adjust volume/rate. On my intel core i5 laptop, the guest just crashes every time, regardless of if I use software or hardware speech. On a guest running on my ryzen system, the same thing happens. The difference is I can switch to the second console, press enter, and modprobing a hardware synth module still works. I suspect this is possibly related to the 4.19 kernel, and possibly speakup in that kernel. This is as far as I've been able to investigate so far. I don't yet know what happens on my ryzen system guest; if espeakup just crashes and needs to be restarted, or something more serious.
