Gustav,
Ok, the quickest way to debug this will be to set a LogDir in
/etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf like this:
#LogDir "default" <-- Comment out this one if it's not by adding the # at
the front.
LogDir "/home/jeremy/sdlogs/"
sudo will be needed to edit those files in /etc/speech-dispatcher/
you'll need to create an sdlogs folder in your home directory (I tried
using the default opensuse /var/log/speech-dispatcher path, but sd running
as me couldn't write there and it's complicated, better to just make a new
path in your home folder and point to it. Also use your username, not
jeremy :)
Then when you run spd-say "Hello" or whatever it will create a few log
files in that sdlogs path. I would say do that a couple of times then have
okular speak the current page a couple of times. Then zip up that sdlogs
folder and send it here and we can take a look at what speech-dispatcher is
getting, and hopefully find out why it sounds garbled on your audio system.
BR,
Jeremy

Since your opensuse VM is working fine, I doube checked my <br>
installations. I have a 17 inch laptop and a 13 inch old one that I use <br>
for traveling. Both machines have a main partition opensuse 15.2 and a <br>
"test" partition with opensuse 15.3. 3/4 of these installations have <br>
the duplicate voices in Okular and Kmouth. Only 1 15.3 installation is <br>
having a normal speech output in Ojular. All 4 installations are <br>
upgraded systems (from previous opensuse 15.0, 15.1 and prior releases. <br>
So none of them is a "clean" install like your VM.<br>
<br>
I tried building it on each laptop, but the same result. You were <br>
reight at the beginnig, it's turning out quite difficult to track down. <br>
Any other suggestions?<br>
<br>
If all else fails, I'll do a clean install of 15.3 on one of these 4 <br>
partitions.<br>
<br>
Thanks, Gustav.<br>
