I am trying to get the text to speech engine plugin on Okular working. I want it to read me PDFs! I have installed all the requirements, but I just can't get it to work! I am about to pull my hairs out 
What I know:
- Speech-dispatcher sound driver, the sound driver shows up under applications on the KDE audio settings, meaning that pipewire can see it. Maybe some part of the audio driver isn't working (?), nevertheless it is at least detected
- Speech-dispatcher service, I noticed that speech-dispatcher thanks to Okular complained that it couldn't find it, after installing speech-dispatcher it stopped complaining. I know that the service is running:

speech-dispatcher itself also says it is running without any errors:
╰─λ speech-dispatcher -D
[Wed Mar 23 11:45:19 2022 : 767430] speechd: Speech Dispatcher 0.11.1 starting
[Wed Mar 23 11:45:19 2022 : 767478] speechd: Speech Dispatcher already running.
Speech Dispatcher already running.
- tts engine works also:
spd-say Hello!produces sound. - I think that the problem is on the
Okularside, but it cannot be since this feature has been around for a very long time; it shouldn't break now...
Meaning I am stuck in a rationelle loop, any input to get me out will be met with open arms 
Uninsightful, but here is the Okular terminal output after attempting to start tts by pressing "Speak whole document" under "Tools" on the toolbar:
