Dialogue sound not coming through (solved)

[empheezie]

Had to manually change surround sound from 7.1 (when using my headphones) to 2.1 (desktop speakers only)

_________________________________

Just started the game, checked all volume levels (maxed out).

Unable to hear any narrator or NPC dialogue during conversations.

Anyone know what the fix for this "bug" is?

I had to go to my computer's audio manager and switch it from 7.1 to Stereo. Once I switched the settings the audio for the cutscenes comes through just fine. Hopefully this works for you too. I was really frustrated trying to find a solution to the problem, but this works until they release a patch (hopefully...).

Please plug an headset in order to active the audio device then run the game.
