Hi, All: Just returning to this topic to add my own experience on updating my Arch Linux installation on two machines over the weekend. I also ran into problems that rendered Speakup unusable with espeakup. Reverting alsa-lib fixed the Speakup issue. As we don't know how long the problem may persist, I've added the following to my /etc/pacman.conf: IgnorePkg =alsa-lib I also discovered problems with alsa-util packages. A command as straight forward as: amixer controls returned meaningless results. Further, several of my audio devices were silent with volumes set to 0, and the switch set to "false." So, I also added a line like the above for alsa-utils. Not sure how to be helpful to anyone interested in debugging, but I do have two machines and am willing to try. Please advise.
