Power Armor Voice Modulation Not Working

[C4Warr10r]

You know how power armor makes it sound like you're talking through a radio? Or a Stormtrooper helmet? For some reason, that just quit working in my game, along with several other radio voices. For instance, the South Boston Military Checkpoint broadcast now just sounds like a dude shouting really loudly in my ear.

I already tried verifying the game files, I don't have any mods running, I checked my audio drivers,and no other games have issues so the problem is very likely the game itself. Is there a zero I can switch to a one somewhere, or a mod that fixes this?

When you say you have "no mods RUNNING" do you mean that the game is ENTIRELY VANILLA or that you REMOVED / DISABLED them?

It's a very, very important distinction.

Disabled. Guess I should remove them, huh?

Maybe a fresh reinstall

No I would suggest carefully reading all of them for their bugs, conflicts, load order, and what they actually DO when they're installed.

Even if you don't THINK they're going to affect something, any mod - ANY one of them - might be interfering with something else. The game's code is fragile as it is vanilla, so when you add even one mod you may get some weird issues.

Also note that if your windows has updated it may have changed things. But if the voices in the game behave normally and it's only when you're hearing the power armor style, that's unlikely to be to blame.

Anything that affects power armor, radio, audio, inserts new character dialog, ... might be to blame. But I wouldn't just up and disable or remove them. Have you moved any of them around in your load order? Do you use LOOT to sort?

I just removed both of my mods and reinstalled the game. Still doesn't work.

You trying to reuse a older save you had before you reinstalled the game?

Yeah, I'm too far into this one to start over.

That is why it is still a issue. Mods can bake in a change ( or add a conflict ) which is in the save game data. Start a new game without mods and it should not be a issue.

Interestingly enough, the problem just fixed itself. I was putting off visiting Valentine's office because finding scrap and settlements is more important than finding my son, but when I finally went in there the voices worked again.
