No voices during cutscenes??

[Slazapuss]

So i played the game last night and everything worked fine and got back into it today and i cant hear anyones voices during cutscenes. Any one else having this problem and is there a fix? I can hear their voices during freeroam but as soon as the cutscenes start the voices are silent.

what is your speaker config ? headphones, stereo speakers, 5.1 surround ? I had same issue when using headphones but not with my 5.1 speakers. had to change windows speaker config to stereo headphones and that fixed it for me.

This worked for me for Windows 7
Go to Sound Properties>Playback (Right click the speaker icon in the lower right corner of your screen.) From here go to configure. Play with the settings, testing each one until you hear every speaker that flashes. Select this one, then click Next. Click Next again and you are done. Mine worked with the Stereo setting.

My theory is, if you computer is set up to play speakers that aren't there, the voices in cutscenes will play on those speakers by default because that's what the speakers you don't have are designed for, voices.

This is just a more detailed version of what cj73 said.

im using a logitech g930 headset, i have it set to that on 7.1 surround and it was working the first day i played it but the next day it didnt. I'll try the stereo thing but then i lose out on my 7.1? Seems unfair.

Don't go straight to Stereo, since you had it working with 7.1 just go down the list towards Stereo trying each one. You might get something better. I just don't have that great of a sound card so I'm stuck with Stereo.

Slazapuss, i'm having the same issue with my G930 headset as well. But i have Assassin's Creed Unity. Did you ever find a fix? Mine worked like the first time I played it then no dice...

Swiching my headset off of surrond (using the switch on the side) fixed it.

Yes, that works for me too but not really a good solution. Surround sound should work.

Hey guys, I understand that this thread is ancient, but I am having the same issue. I am using a Logitech G430 headset on windows 10. In the cutscenes of AC4 Black Flag there are no voices between the characters. When I use my screens default speakers it works perfectly. Has their by any chance been a confirmed fix for this issue and of so could someone please link me to the fix? Thanks guys I am really hoping to fix this so that I can enjoy my fav of the series.
