Speech deepfake source verification systems aims to determine whether two synthetic speech utterances originate from the same source generator, often assuming that the resulting source embeddings are independent of speaker traits. However, this assumption remains unverified. In this paper, we first investigate the impact of speaker factors on source verification. We propose a speaker-disentangled metric learning (SDML) framework incorporating two novel loss functions. The first leverages Chebyshev polynomial to mitigate gradient instability during disentanglement optimization. The second projects source and speaker embeddings into hyperbolic space, leveraging Riemannian metric distances to reduce speaker information and learn more discriminative source features. Experimental results on MLAAD benchmark, evaluated under four newly proposed protocols designed for source-speaker disentanglement scenarios, demonstrate the effectiveness of SDML framework.
