Can't connect SPD-SAY and Festival

I'm using Puppy Linux:

Linux PuppyPC 4.9.163-lxpup-32-pae #1 SMP Thu Mar 14 15:41:19 GMT 2019 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

I'm trying to use spd-say tool with festival. The problem is I can use festival by itself using this command:

echo "Hello world" | festival --tts

but not the spd-say

spd-say "Hello world"

Whatever I do I get the same error:

Failed to connect to Speech Dispatcher:
Error: Can't connect to unix socket /root/.cache/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock: No such file or directory. Autospawn: Autospawn failed. Speech Dispatcher refused to start with error code, stating this as a reason:

I don't have this file /root/.cache/speech-dispatcher/speechd.sock I can run festival server:

# festival --server
server    Sun Jul 21 15:18:09 2024 : Festival server started on port 1314

and when I try to use sdp-say I got this messages on server:

client(1) Sun Jul 21 15:19:32 2024 : accepted from localhost
client(1) Sun Jul 21 15:19:33 2024 : disconnected

As you can see it disconnects immediately. A while before there also was an error SIOD: unknown voice cmu_us_aew_cg but after reading [this question](https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/573279/speech-dispatcher-voice-configuration-problems-with-festival) I solved the issue **Additional info:** I installed these packages: /etc/speech-dispatcher/speechd.conf:

LogLevel  5
LogDir  "/var/log/speech-dispatcher/"
DefaultVolume 100
AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
DefaultModule festival
Include "clients/*.conf"

/usr/share/speech-dispatcher/conf/speechd.conf:

LogLevel  3
LogDir  "stdout"
DefaultVolume 100
AddModule "festival"     "sd_festival"  "festival.conf"
DefaultModule festival
Include "clients/*.conf"

/usr/share/festival/voices/us/cmu_us_aew_cg/festvox/cmu_us_aew_cg.scm (at the end):

(proclaim_voice
 'cmu_us_aew_cg
 '((language english)
   (gender male)
   (dialect american)
   (description
    "This voice provides an American English male voice using a
     residual excited LPC diphone synthesis method.  It uses
     the CMU Lexicon pronunciations.  Prosodic phrasing is provided
     by a statistically trained model using part of speech and local
     distribution of breaks.  Intonation is provided by a CART tree
     predicting ToBI accents and an F0 contour generated from a model
     trained from natural speech.  The duration model is also trained
     from data using a CART tree.")))
