Does the orca menu allows to select the voxin module at least? Does it show some other modules? Does spd-say -O show the voxin module?

Should I install espeak > or espeak-ng to use it, for instance? You can install speech-dispatcher-espeak-ng to get the espeak-ng module for instance and you'll be able to check it. You can additionally install mbrola from contrib and mbrola-fr4 from non-free to get the espeak-ng-mbrola module.

And the log clearly says that speechd pushed the corresponding audio to the card. I was wondering if it could be audio levels which are at zero in pipewire/pulseaudio mixers for the voxin sink, but it'd be surprising that Brltty gets it working but not spd-say/orca. BTW, are we actually sure that there is only one speech-dispatcher daemon running? Samuel
