Party banter disappeared with patch 3

1. What Platform are you playing the game on? If PC, can you provide a DxDiag?  -  Playing on PC -  http://hastebin.com/ayaravaxav.tex
2. What areas have you been in when the problem was reported? Have you already entered the Hinterlands? Are you mostly spending time on Critical Path plots? All over the Hinterlands, finishing all side quests and companion quests, not critical path atm
3. What is the the Race/Class/Gender combination of your Inquisitor? Female dwarf Warrior
4. What followers are you using at the time? Various - mainly Varric Blackwall and Vivienne, but also Cassandra, Sera and Solas on occasions, with the same silences
5. How would you describe your play-style? How are you moving around in areas? For example, are you using the mount? Are you playing a mage and using Blink to move around areas? I am not using a mount and most of the Hinterlands is cleared now I am just mopping things up, so most areas there is little combat at all - Have ceased playing atm tbh without the banter its a bit of a dead game for me
6. Are you engaging in regular combat? (Are you in combat every 30 seconds?) Are you playing in heavy-combat zones where non-player factions are fighting each other? Not really any constant combat, just running from one area to another to complete outstanding quests/collect shards/close rifts etc
7. How many hours have you spent in your current playthrough? (the one you are experiencing the banter issues in) 21 Hours
8. Where do you expect banter to be firing? well I have done three full run throughs and never really noticed where the banter triggers, I just noticed the complete silence since the patch, even from Sera when we are in combat which is really strange - I thought I was getting some lines, then realised they were only the lines triggered by peoples personal quests, absolutely no other sounds from any companion in any area, otherwise

EDIT- out of interest I decided to check two other characters, to see if they have the same issue - both characters are still at haven and have varric cassandra and solas as party members, each played approx 2hours - on both of these characters banter seems to be triggering fine,after 10-15 mins standing idle in the hinterlands

They are a Human male rogue and female quanari mage

So I then decided to take the above warrior character I have had issues with and try at the same place in the hinterlands standing idle - it took 45 minutes for banter to trigger, between Varric and Blackwall, which is an unusually long time and does not get away from the fact that when questing absolutely nothing was triggering, despite having added Vivienne and/or Sera in as new party members. Ive never had vivienne and blackwall not have something to say to one another and having Sera being completely silent is simply freaky

Incidently being in combat has never affected my parties banter whatsoever, on previous run throughs they would continue conversations and even start them during combat, so much so that on occasion they failed to recognise the completion of a party members personal quest, if that party member were part of the conversation. I was also most certainly getting banter more often than once per half hour pre patch, more like every 15 mins or so, as long as I hadnt exhausted conversations of the party members I had with me, which is why I swap in different party members all the time.
