Hi,
I'm having a problem with the dialogue, in that there is none. I've read a few threads where people describe very soft speaking in each ear, but there is absolutely no voice in my situation. ...
Have you tried making the change in your Windows Control Panel -- Sound settings? (The "wrong" setting there is the most likely cause of the issue if you're hearing the other sounds in the game.)
Below are my settings; 5.1 Surround. Normally, everything works as expected. But when I plug in my Bose headphones to the 3.5mm jack on my speakers' EXTERNAL volume control dongle then Windows doesn't know that I don't have a center speaker. So in that situation any audio it directs to the center speaker is simply dropped. (I discovered this while playing the original Windows Solitaire. I still heard the shuffling of the deck, but lost the sound of cards moved to the stacks.) The jack located on the computer itself was already set to "Stereo", so no problem if I used that one,
Here's the Control Panel item I'm talking about:
Let us know if changing the setting works. 🤓

To the above user, as I said I cannot change the settings for my surround sound headphones, the 'configure' button is greyed out because they have their own program to configure them in, which does not let me change from surround sound. Every other set of earphones or the internal speakers are already stereo.

What brand of headphones are they, what happens if you uninstall them completely, including the special configure program and all associated programs??
Could you post up a DxDiag file(instructions in sticky at top of the forum) so maybe we can look at config of your system a bit....don't know if it will help, but can't hurt.

@mcsupersport The headphones are the Razer Kraken Pro headphones, so they use Razer Synapse for their settings, not control panel (most options are greyed out in control panel). I uninstalled completely, no change. Here is my DxDiag file.
Yeah, given that there are millions of players who don't have any problem hearing the dialogue, this is obviously an issue caused by the "special" software used by those headphones.

@ThandalNLyman I'd assume the same, if it weren't for the fact that my normal stereo headphones, and stereo inbuilt speakers don't make the voices work either.
