Hi Nick, I did some test installations with Debian 13: When installing a console-only system, means without any desktop environment, speech works on the virtual console.
Installing MATE makes speech working in the graphical MATE environment, but not on the virtual console, identical to your findings. espeakup is running, but no output. Here pipewire is additionally installed, while it is not in the console-only installation. So maybe alsa and pipewire don't work together correctly? Did that work with Debian 12?
