In-game character voice not working.

This issue is caused because of the following reasons

1) The audio driver is not up-to-date.
2) If audio driver is up-to-date this is caused as your sound settings will be configured for surround speakers but you have 2 or 2.1 speakers.

If you have a 5.1 or a surround system you will hear the voice. To correct this you need to configure the audio software installed on your computer to work for 2 speakers.

In Windows Vista and in Windows 7, if you haven't installed any audio driver and if the audio driver is installed automatically, the speaker configuration could be set for surround speakers. In this case you will not be able to see the option to configure it for 2 speakers when you go to audio settings in control panel. The Realtek audio manager, which will be installed automatically if you haven't installed any audio driver will not be up-to-date.

The steps to fix this issue :

For Windows Vista and Windows 7.

• Update the Realtek audio manager and you will see the option to configure the settings for 2 speakers. 

1. Go to http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/
