Hi, The /etc/rc.local is only there because I created it, it wasn't there to begin with. On the adding the user to the audio group, how is that done?

Apologies. The rc.local file is still present in devuan, so I assumed it still exists and is executed at boot in debian. > spd-say test, without sudo is still silent > but with sudo, I get Voxin. Is the user you're running spd-say as in the audio group? > So, espeakup, or just speakup, whichever I'm using, is not runing as sudo, As far as I know, espeakup runs as root, unless you have a user named sudo on your system, and have made necessary changes to run espeakup as that user. Also, you need to decide what you want speakup to use. More likely espeakup and speech-dispatcher will just get in each other's way. If you're going to stick with voxin, you want to use speechd-up. If you're going to stick with espeak, you want to use espeakup.
