In the middle of play session, no more voice audio.

I still hear background music, footsteps, weapon sounds, water, torch, doors, etc....

I can read the subtitles of characters speaking, but all voice audio is gone.

Tried starting a new character...same thing.

Tried loading an old save (yesterday, week ago...) same thing.


Tried rebooting... no dice.


I tried deactivating the last few mods I installed, but can't figure out what's going on. It happened in the middle of a playthrough that was working perfectly... and it just doesn't want to come back.

Any console commands or fixes you can think of?

My only input here is to make sure that 'Voice' isn't turned down in the settings... Sorry I can't help more.

Yeah... tried that... tried zeroing it out and max and in-between. Oddest error (other than mysterious CTDs) I've encountered.

Fixed.

Somehow "Skyrim - Voices.bsa" and "Skyrim - Voicesixtra.bsa" were missing from my skyrim.ini file. Not sure how that happened, I certainly hadn't been in there for a few days. Put them back in, all is working now.
