Yes, that's expected. Brltty doesn't monitor characters as they're being
written to the screen. It looks at the screen for how it is as a whole, and
tells you, based on your settings, what has changed.

Are you building brltty from source? If so, I an suggest a change to the source
to see if it resolves your problem. If it does, we can make that change
permanent.

Yes, it looks like brltty's eSpeak driver is limiting the volume to only 100%.
