Voice over missing

I know it's not the most important thing but I seem to have issues with voice over not happening. I just finished the first dungeon of the expansion and the cutsceen that followed I've been told should be voiced over, but I'm got no voice over. the voice option is maxed and turned on in the sound options. I get everything else but voice over. Not sure how to fix it or if it's a game bug. I'm guessing something conflicting between game client and my computer since it plays with the illumination on my logitech gear.

I too have had issues where none of the cutscenes have voice over dialog. I've swapped between all of the language profile and have it set to max and it's still silent.

I'm also missing voice overs when I have my audio on my speakers, but when I rewatched the cutscene in the inn wearing my headphones, I have voiceovers. I've tried searching online but haven't found why this happens.

Edit: decided to check older cut scenes, like the ones at the and of ARR 2.55 content and the first cut scene of HW. they have the same problem. As i'm on Windows 10, I wonder if this is a windows 10 issue. Another thought could be that since I use Logitech gaming software and there is currently issues with illumination due to the applet introduced for that software that maybe there is a conflict there causing my problem.

i've now experienced the same things as Paleblade. I switched my sound to my headset and rewatch the cutscenes, getting the voice over that should be there. if I switch back to my speakers and try to rewatch the scenes I get no voice over. Same thing happened if I switch to DirectX 9. Maybe Maintenence will correct this issue. In case it helps, here's my system info.

SYSTEM_SOUND Speakers (Logitech G930 Gaming Headset)

I'm using a Logitech G933 (wireless) gaming headset, and I'm also having a near complete lack of voice overs. Every other sound is there, but one cut scene I turned the volume completely up, and I could barely heard a very faint voice over, but it sounded like an echo down a hallway rather than something clear. If I had to guess, it's something to do with Logitech's drivers.

Tried a few new things with no luck. I had to manually update the logitech gaming software. it's now version 8.94. That didn't work. I disabled everything but my speakers and headset with no positive results. disconnected my headset's wireless adapter and the didn't work either. not entirely certain what's going on but considering the things that I experienced with my logitech gear when in early access with the new applet being installed, I'm not too happy about it being broken. I don't like playing with my headset on all the time but guess I'll have to or something. It's like all voice is going to USB ports and not my sound card. I also find it rather odd I don't have options on the game to tell it where to send my sound.

I finally got it working through speakers for me. granted i'm on windows 10 64 bit but these steps might help others since it corrected my problem.

1) In the system tray on the bottom right, right click the speaker icon and click playback devices
2) once open, select your speakers from the list. then click configure.
3) Under audio channels make sure it's set correctly. for my I needed stereo as I only have a left, right and sub. i've been told that if you use 5.1 or 7.1 you must have a center channel.

Guys, someone else had this problem. I was able to resolve it for him.

Some reason, the most recent windows 10 update tries to select your speaker configuration for you. So, if you have any motherboard that was made after 2014, you should have the ability to support 7.1 SRS. So, windows 10 defaults to that.

I am a lucky few to have 5.1 hooked up and can confirm that voices during cut scenes only come out my center speaker. If you do not have this, you need to go into your speaker configuration, just as the previous post describe and change from whatever it is to stereo.

So I had this issue, turned out to be my g933, so I updated the firmware to the newest version, and it fixed it.
