After this update, espeak is stopped working.
When I enter:
$ espeak -k20 -s150 "Hello"
It doesn’t say anything and hangs out without showing any output until I exit by pressing Ctrl + c.
But before this update it was working correctly.
Does anyone has a fix for this problem?
Did you install it from the AUR, or as a Flatpak? If so, uninstall it and use espeak-ng from the Arch/Manjaro repositories. This will make sure it’s updated as needed rather than breaking with every Manjaro update. Cheers.
I installed it from AUR but I also have espeak-ng installed and it has the same problem too 
Should I reinstall espeak-ng or it doesn’t make any sense?
It makes no sense to have both installed. Espeak-ng is the better choice to keep, so remove the AUR version; you should only have one version installed (two will probably conflict leaving neither working). This is possibly the issue.
I understood that you were asking to clarify command usage:
See the @Yochanan post for the note about archlinux-keyring.
Cheers.
When I tried to remove the espeak, I faced a strange problem. 
When I try to remove it, it claim that espeak does not exists and not installed:
$ sudo pacman -Rnsu espeak
[sudo] password for milad:
error: target not found: espeak
Or if I try to remove it using yay, I get same error:
$ yay -Rnsu espeak
[sudo] password for milad:
error: target not found: espeak
-> exit status 1
But I can find its location using following command:
$ which espeak
/usr/bin/espeak
I’m think of removing espeak-ng itself and see what happens to espeak
I suggest removing both; and then installing a fresh copy of espeak-ng.
I did so and it didn’t fix the problem.
Also I realized that espeak is not from the AUR but just a symbolic link to espeak-ng:
$ ls /usr/bin/esp* -al
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1567 May 28 2021 /usr/bin/espdiff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Sep 17 2022 /usr/bin/espeak -> espeak-ng
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 27280 Sep 17 2022 /usr/bin/espeak-ng
Also I find out that by piping output of espeak-ng to aplay I can make it work:
$ espeak-ng "hello" --stdout | aplay
I think it means that maybe espeak-ng is trying to use a wrong audio output device but I wasn’t able to find its configuration file.
Anyway, I appreciate your effort to solve my problem and if you had anymore suggestion I’m willingly ready to know.
Thank you
Yes, that works with mine; as does simply espeak "hello". I couldn’t find any documentation related to configuration; apart from ./configure used when compiling the program. Perhaps the issue is pulse/pipewire rather than configuration related.
What is the output of
pacman -Qs espeak
I have espeak installed and it was working without any problem.
But after my last night update, it stopped working.
When I enter:
$ espeak "hello"
It doesn’t show anything and don’t make any sound but hangs out until I terminate it with Ctrl + c.
Does anyone has a solution for this problem?

Hi @vilmil,
How did you install espeak?
Because, it seems it could have been either the extra repository, or the AUR:
$ pamac search espeak
[...]
espeak-ng 1.51.1-2 extra
Multi-lingual software speech synthesizer
espeak 1:1.48.04-4 AUR
Text to Speech engine for English, with support for other languages
I cannot reproduce - so I am afraid I have no solution.
It could however relate to how you installed it as @Mirdarthos rightfully question.
If you used a custom package - then an update may cause the custom package to cease function - in such case you need to rebuild the package.
As such custom package is maintained locally by you - any cease to function after an update is legitimate when it comes to custom packages - it is not a Manjaro issue.
There is a package in the repo named espeak-ng - thus it will update with normal system sync.
I have installed espeak from AUR but I also have espeak-ng installed from extra repository but the problem is that espeak-ng has the same problem too.
Here is output of searching espeak:
$ pamac search espeak
gst-plugins-espeak 0.5.0-4 extra
Use espeak as a sound source for gstreamer
espeakup 0.90-2 extra
A light weight connector for espeak-ng and speakup
espeak-ng 1.51.1-2 [Installed] extra
Multi-lingual software speech synthesizer
@linux-aarhus Thank you for your reply.
I checked out espeak-ng but it has the same problem too.
You should check your audio installation, in context, anything related to audio (pulse, pipewire, alsa) and related configuration.
As I noted above - I cannot reproduce a hang, as I am getting the expected result.
espeak "hello, I am your computer. I can only do, what you tell me to do."
I searched more and I found some information which may help you to figure out my problem.
espeak-ng with sudo privileges, it raises following error and exits without making any sound:$ sudo espeak-ng "hello"
error: Host is down
espeak and espeak-ng to work by piping to aplay:$ espeak-ng "hello" --stdout | aplay
Playing WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono
$ espeak "hello" --stdout | aplay
Playing WAVE 'stdin' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Mono
Which both works without problem.
As your issue is not reproducable 
it is next to impossible to provide a meaningful response.
Running with sudo means nothing.
The Linux sound system is run in the context of the user. When using sudo you are elevating permissions but as you are not logged in as root the soundserver for root user is not available - thus the error Host is down.
As I stated above - you need to recheck your configurations.
Here is the output:
$ pacman -Qs espeak
local/espeak-ng 1.51.1-2
Multi-lingual software speech synthesizer
So, espeak is not installed. Why?
You maybe right because I didn’t find any configuration file for espeak too.
My audio server is pipewire and the only configuration file of pipewire is located at /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf according to this page in my case (Other mentioned directories are empty and there is no other configuration file).
I think you are right and the problem is originated from pipewire because the pipewire-related packages got updated in last update. Here is the configuration at /usr/share/pipewire/pipewire.conf:
# Daemon config file for PipeWire version "0.3.81" #
#
# Copy and edit this file in /etc/pipewire for system-wide changes
# or in ~/.config/pipewire for local changes.
#
# It is also possible to place a file with an updated section in
# /etc/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ for system-wide changes or in
# ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/ for local changes.
