I selected this voice with Read Aloud and it's not working (every other works). How do I fix it?

I was using it for years, but it stopped working 2 days ago. I am using Ubuntu 22.04. Anyone else have the problem?

There's no UI way on the screen or by right click option to start this. So the engine might be there, but you can't get it going. The doco is poor too, so you can't find out how its meant to be used
