Hello,
Ok do let me know if you are able to install speakup.
I see the modules  in the tar archive
linux-4.3.tar.xz
Once you download the archive change to the directory driver/staging
Since these use to be hosted in its own source as a git repository you 
use to be able to do
make modules_install
That might or might not work in the current staging directory.
