What about trying to turn up your system volume? The commands are F12 to increase, and F11 to decrease. You may need to hold down the function key as you execute these commands.

A sighted person tells me when I press command+f5 that he can see Voiceover on and off on the screen but I have no speech. It's curious. With sighted help I'm downloading Yosemite as we speak but I'm still disconcerted why I lost speech. Hopefully once the process starts I will get voiceover back.
