Voice Sound Volume Resets to 0 on loading save game.

[DorkundusChungus]

I am having an odd issue where the voice volume and only the voice volume resets on loading a save game. I haven't installed any new mods recently, it just started happening out of nowhere. Adjusting the voice volume in skyrimprefs.ini and setting it to read-only does nothing. Has anyone ever heard of this issue or how to solve this?

I suppose the first questions would be:

1. Are you sure the voice volume is supposed to be set in skyrimprefs.ini? Do you know this, did you look it up?
2. MO2 has inis in a different location.

 

Edit: I suppose I could be more helpful and throw some more ideas at you while I'm at it.

1. MO2 has per-mod ini overrides. How do these work, and are they relevant in this case?
2. Papyrus can change ini settings, but I don't know if they can be made permanent.

As in, the file is not read-only after you close the game and the ini setting has changed back to 0, or the file remains read-only and the ini setting does not change - yet the game always has the volume set to 0?

Like Traison implied, you almost certainly have two sets of configfiles - those in my games and another one by MO2. Try setting it via MO2's builtin INI editor, or simply ingame.
