Set your Audio to "Force Stereo" and see if that fixes the issue.
Sometimes the surround-sound options are a little too life-like. If the camera isn't facing the right way, the voices fade out almost completely.
tx again T............ i was thrown because there was no 2/2.1 or 4etc listed on my Realtek manager config. Sound manager has been set to stereo and so far F3 and ME3 have regained dialogue; but still i'm disappointed because 2 weeks ago, before i took this pc in for a great g-card and a check-up ( for Hundreds of dollars ), all these games' audio was fine and NOW i'm stuck with stereo! go figure????? is there a deeper issue that needs professional attention do you think? ( i had a steam malfunction and some goddamn spyware/adware removed etc.)
any way...it's got dialogue back and for that i'm thankful....bless you T
When I updated my rig to Win8.1 I had to roll-back my sound card driver to a previous version beacuse it kept trying to say I had a 7.1 speaker set-up, and I don't. Re-installing the previous RealTek driver did the trick for me.
sounds familiar ( pun may or may not have been intended ) ! last night realtek was working on 5.1, got up this morning and half the speakers were out so i set it on 7.1 and it was fine again........had a lot of trouble 2 years ago setting up this sound system around this issue......now i just have to figure out how to rollback driver upddates.
