NPC voices quit working, mostly.

So, most NPC voices have no sound, but not all. "Yes, my thane?" and a few others have a voice, but most of the others don`t. The lips move, but I can`t hear what they`re saying. I`ve had this issue for awhile, now, so I can`t remember what all I`ve changed around the time it popped up. It`s not limited to certain NPCs, but all NPCs. But not all dialogue. I`ll have a silent conversation going, then a line will have sound, and then silent again. I haven`t done anything that touches sound files, that I know of. Except RDO. Uninstalled it, problem remains. The problem occurred shortly after a complete re-install of Skyrim and mods, so it could be anything. There was voices at the beginning(I think). I`d love to give load order and logs and stuff like the "Read before posting" post says to do, but I`m not good at modding, and have no idea how to do that stuff. Not being able to post load order is especially vexing, as I KNOW mine is probably F`ed up. LOOT handles the right hand pane(mostly), but the left pane...I just wing it. All those things people spout that they consider "common knowledge", aren`t, to me, because I`m old, and didn`t grow up with a computer, so most tutorials might as well be in a foreign language. If it wasn`t for Gopher, I wouldn`t be able to mod at all. I`m just hoping someone will have had a similar issue and fixed it, or that this is something really easy to a knowledgeable, tech-savvy person.

 

I use MO, if that matters. And BethINI. And I`ve started several new games, so existing save issues aren`t in play(I would think). I did go with Optimized Vanilla Textures mod on the re-install, which is really the only major change to my load order. Don`t see how that would matter, but you never know. And I don`t use Wrye Bash. Couldn`t get it to work, or I would. Sorry to bother ya`ll with my noobishness. I`m just hoping a Saint will take pity on me.?

 

If there`s nothing you can do with such limited information, then please just move along, and spare me your snide comments. A wise man once said, "Every question is easy, if you know the answer."

If you can run LOOT you can post a load order. 

 

Open LOOT and look in the upper right hand corner. You will find an icon on the blue bar that looks like 3 vertical buttons or dots. Click on it (this saves your load order to your clipboard). Then, com back here and paste (ctrl+P) it (preferably in a spoiler).

Thanks, Psalam.

 

Well, imagine that. Only took a few years of modding to post my first load order.^^^^^ One of my big concerns after "the right order" is obsolete and needless mods. And too many script heavy mods. But I do love my LL mods so much. And I have room for so many more that I want, like MME, that Pregnancy mod, SGO3, Beastess, shit-ton more followers, etc., etc.. But I figure the PAHE, DD and MNC stuff puts enough, if not too much, strain on my computer as it is.
 

By the way, I had Skyrim Project Optimization after Unofficial patch, but it said to have it before, so I swapped it. That might have been a, if not the, problem. IDK. I`ve developed a bad habit of practically ignoring the right pane of MO and focusing on the left pane*. Hopefully I won`t have to scrap current game because of it. Haven`t fired up the game yet to find out what, if any, effect it`ll have. Although, I start a new game at around 40+ level EVERY time, because that`s usually when memory gets full, so no biggie if I do. Although it`s killing me, I`m TRYING to stop hoarding stuff in the hopes that it`ll help with memory. But I want a full set of every armor, and multiples of ALL the DD stuff, and a large supply of all the crafting and alchemy materials. You`d think letting the game use more memory would be easy to do. I`ve got hundreds of gigs available. But NOOOOOOOO. Thanks, Bethesda. Wish that engine would throw a rod and force them to make a better one. But who am I kidding...they`d fuck it up. As per "...the usual Bethesda standards." TESVI fills me with dread. Even though there`s no way I`ll be able to play it on this dinosaur.

 

*- speaking of the left pane, there`s "Export to csv..." in the Tools tab. Is that how you save and paste that order? Although no one ever asks for it, so I guess it doesn`t matter.

 

FYI: short posts are not my forte. I always think of more things as I`m typing. I do love to ramble on. Sorry, but...not really. I like rambling. You know how us old fogies are.?

I'm not seeing an obvious cause of your underlying issue so I'll suggest something else to try.

 

The next time this happens (problems with NPC speech) open your console and click on the offending NPC. You should get a lot of information about the NPC most of which you can ignore. On the right hand side there will be something that says "last mod affecting this NPC" (or something to that effect). Make a note of the mod and continue playing. DO this several times to see if the NPCs who are mute are being impacted by the same mod.

 

You can also look at this:

 

 

This will help make sure that you have all the necessary "background" mods to make your game play nicely.
