I have had this happen to me a few times. I will just be using mine and then boom or lack of and speech is gone. I have to do a reset to get the voice back. Even though I go through the voice options, with left thumb+space no sound will ever be made. Until I reset.
I have also had braille turn off on me when the bn goes to sleep by itself, but using right thumb+space will turn it back on.
