Speakup not working in Ubuntu 18.04

[Willem van der Walt]

Hi Kelly,
After an upgrade, I had to specifically install the modules and 
modules-extra packages, but before doing that, the thing did not even see 
my sound card.
However, before doing that, the speakup modules were not found when doing 
modprobe.
I am currently running ubuntu 18.04 with speakup.
4.18.0-18-generic #19~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP
HTH, Willem
