Good suggestion, Nortstart. When I lost all speech on my computer a few weeks back, it turned out to be that USB ports got switched around (without my permission) and my USB serial went silent. I only needed to unplug and re-connect a couple of my USB devices to get the hardware to start working again and speech came back. Really irritating.
