Voice sounds are missing

Post » Sun Feb 13, 2011 1:38 am

I have seen many issues about the radio, but this is in reference to voice speaking in general. Many situations leave me without hearing the voices. I have adjusted a ton of settings, doubled checked my drivers etc. Nothing has resolved it. I do get music off the radio and the off-hand comments the NPC's make, I believe I hear most of those. But many of the main story line NPC's I do not hear at all.

Recently, I got the poor Sheriff killed in Primm. On his body was a journal which must be completely voiced (there was no text for me to read). Not a single word was uttered for me, so I have no clue what it was about. So if nothing else, can you please give me some text to read on what is said?

I have a SB audigy SE sound card in my system. I have tried using SB alchemy and it did not help either. I have no other sound issues on my computer at all, just while in the game. I do get some voice (like the doctor at the start of the game) but VERY few others.

Please fix this, I love the game...but this is making it very hard to get engrossed in the plot.

Thanks!

I have 3 people playing this in my house, two of us get no voice what-so-ever using the audigy (same exact one, the SE). One works fine and he uses SB 512.

Tried re-associating the OGG file too, that did not fix the issue.

If anyone has a work around, please let me know. Would truly love to hear the voice (I can get many sounds, just not the voice of the main characters OR any voice on journals etc).

SOLVED! Woot!

Ok, I back-tracked to the 2005 version of my sound drivers. The game now has sound!! Made my day.

Hopefully anyone else having this issue can find a solution. Bout drove me crazy not hearing 90% of the game.
