I have a similar looking problem on Ubuntu 22.04 but I have found something unusual that suggests it's not the sound settings.
1. If I start read aloud, it highlights a sentence but does nothing - no sound and does not advance. I see a piper process max out 12/24 cores and allocate up to 1.5GB of memory.
2. However if I open the read aloud settings from the toolbar and click "cancel", it will read aloud the current sentence, then highlight the next, but not proceed further.
3. It will read a sentence each time I open and cancel the read aloud settings. If I click "ok" on the read aloud settings, it does not read the sentence.
4. I get no relevant messages / errors in the terminal or syslog
Hope that helps!
