Ah, that's what I've been wondering about. I've asked various people here
who claim to have working hardware speech, but never got a response. My
question is if they're running 32-bit or not. I can not only confirm that
it won't work on 64-bit systems but if I try to unload speakup_soft and
load speakup_ltlk, it completely locks up the system. Someone else said
they didn't have any problem with serial speech with new kernels and a
32-bit processor, but I couldn't get it confirmed. Now, my question is
what difference would a 64-bit processor make? Why does it completely
lock up here but seems to work for at least three people on older 32-bit
processors? I'm tempted to install 32-bit Debian Wheezy just to see if it
makes any difference. I can say that it doesn't seem to matter on a
32-bit live CD here.
