No voice during cutscenes?

[V.C. King]

I get voice during battle and exploring but I dont get any voice from the characters during cutscenes. I get BGM fine, it's just their voices. Any one have the same problem or know of a fix?

What type of soundcard do you have and what language are you using?

[V.C. King]

I'm using english and im using an onboard soundcard (a Gigabyte Mobo using Realtek drivers)

PERSONAL FIX: My problem was that my headphones are broken now, haha. I pulled the jack out to the second notch and it works fine, my only problem is that I have no stereo output now, it's all flat and mono.

In case anybody wanted to know, this is how it works. In a game with stereo sounds and music, sound comes from left or right, being louder than the other, simulating depth, distance, and direction. The voices however are simulated being offset only by a faint reverb effect (in this game) and the voice itself is flat and placed on a centre audio channel. I'm probably wrong somewhere, and I've simplified it as much as I could, if somebody else desires to elaborate or correct me, feel free, and I hope nobody else has to deal with this problem.

Yea, I got 5.1 surround however I havent properly set it up so audio doesnt come through the centre channel. I plugged my headphones in the other day and I did have voices in cutscenes so what you say does make alot of sense. I'll try to fiddle around with it

FIX:

I had the same issue. The problem was that the basic channel setting of my soundcard was 7.1. I have reset normal stereo and it solved the problem.

I got mine working, forgot to reply the fix for it.
It was that the voices were sent to the center channel of my 5.1 channel sound.
Either set it to Stereo (2.0 channel) or get your center speaker working :P

I know this is 5 years later but i am also having this issue, just bought the game installed and started playing. no voices in some cutscenes. still no fix? id REALLY appreciate one if anyone has it. :c

EDIT: turns out it was my sound settings. was set to headset not headphones, i guess that makes a difference? really love this game so im glad i can enjoy the memories again on pc :D

I think Headset is used when making calls, etc. When I use my AirPods on my PC, there are two: Headset (lower sample rate) and Headphones (16 bit 44100Hz which was way better than Handset).

Also, I think the game does have sound issues if you are running on a 7.1 sound system configuration.
