Hello,

I don't know now why you have this problem but I can recommend you
generally several steps:

- Check if your SD is really good configured. For this try spd-conf
  script
- Check if you have one installation of SD only, no more version of
  libspeechd2, python-speechd, orca ...
- Check if your sound system works OK, try stop another sound
- Check if this problem is on text console too with another screen
  reader, yasr, brltty with SD output for example

I tried my SD with flite on Ubuntu 9.04 just now and works OK. If it not
helps then set log level to 5 and switch debugging on and check the
flite.log file.

Have a nice day
