Hi Glenn, use spd-say to try speaking some text. If it's able to speak 
with voxin, then the problem is probably in Fenrir. If it is able to 
speak with ESpeak-ng but not with voxin, then the problem should be in 
Voxin. And if it isn't able to speak at all, then the problem is 
probably in pipewire.

Assuming the issue is in voxin, perhaps speech-dispatcher isn't finding 
voxin's binary module. That's what happened to me in ArchLinux. I would 
use the find command to search for sd_voxin, which is the binary module 
for voxin, then create a directory, e.g. mkdir 
/libexec/speech-dispatcher-modules, then place the sd_voxin module 
there, and write down the entire path to the file in speechd.conf in the 
respective addModule entry, e.g.
AddModule "voxin" 
"/libexec/speech-dispatcher-modules/sd_voxin"     "voxin.conf"

Cheers,
Cleverson
