and where you attached the sound card?
USB sound card dongly thing. (To the only port on the device.. )

(edit: Missed the bold part - > Yeah, thats the thing... sshing into the Kindle using USB wasn't such a bright idea, when the command you are testing produces a sound output, that has to be checked with the usb sound card dongle thats - at that point not connected to the device.

So I removed *usb cable* and attached *soundcard dongle* and input the commands in kterm instead. Genius. And yes - that worked. Heard the TTS sound output, could use it with different languages... - So the issue is related to privilege escalation on the kindlet itselft. )

I'll wait for additional feedback. If no one else is having problems getting the .azw2 to work - I'll downgrade>jailbreak>upgrade my Kindle again - maybe...

For now - using the shell command I could listen to the german TTS voice - and, lets just say, its no Ivona.. (but then the install package was only a few MB, so I saw that one coming.. ).

But then - its miles better than Amazons own approach of *beeping* into your ear with intensity on every page change...
