Hi, Yes, I had exactly the same problem and I solved it. I had to install extra libraries but I dont't remember exactly which. Please try the following command: aoss /usr/bin/viavoice-synthesis-driver You'll receive a message complaint about a library that can not be loaded. Send me that message and I think that I can help.
