Speak Selection feature

I'm running the latest beta 27.2 (26B5086k) on a 2022 Mac Studio M1 Max, and I'm experiencing a new issue. I do a lot of writing, dictating, and reading, so I frequently use the text-to-speech feature.

After the recent update, my shortcut for "Speak Selection" stopped working. I tried restarting the machine, but it still won't read the selected text. I also attempted to adjust the settings, but the system settings froze. Also its not even loading the controller.

Any help getting this feature working again would be greatly appreciated!
