Yes, I can press control+alt+f1 and login although there is sometimes a
slight delay before it starts talking. I had Trixie running in a
virtual machine, and Pulse Audio didn't seem to be installed by default,
so maybe that is good news. I'm not sure if speech works when switching
consoles in Trixie or not.

Hi, I am using trixie from a fresh installation and think that this
uses pipewire by default is this correct? I do have the software that
does emulate pulse so that is enabled but not sure how to make the
setup you have work on my system. Are you saying that in the mate
desktop you can press control and alt and f1 and get speech in the
console using speakup then when you want to go back to the desktop you
can press control and alt and f7 and orca speaks and you can go back
and forth with no issues as this is what I want to be able to do?

On Debian Bookworm, I can get this to work by getting rid of pulseaudio.
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf has this line
AudioOutputMethod pulse
Pipewire is running and has a process called 'pipewire-pulse'.
ps -ef|grep pulse
You should find '/usr/bin/pipewire-pulse' running, it emulates what
Pulse audio did.
Make sure you have a way to get into your system if speech dies, such
as Braille or SSH.
You can do
apt purge pulseaudio
Not knowing anything about your configuration, I can't say what might
happen, so be careful.

I don not know, where i can set alsa card 0 as default soundcard

pipewire.
I never used pipewire but I used to have in /etc/asound.conf this
content
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.ctl.card 0
But it happened that after a kernel upgrade the default card changed.
What most users actually want is to use the PCH output, not an
HDMI one,
regardless of the card number. To get there I just include in a
file named
/etc/speechd-up.conf this line:
ALSA_CARD=PCH
Then this fie is sourced by the script that starts speechd-up
(attached).
I do something similar for espeakup (script also attached)
I assume that something similar could be done with systemd. "I
assume" as I
never configured systemd.
Cheers,
Didier
