ColdfireTrilogy Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Just finally updated my game and put the hi res textures in place. Was playing great but something felt weird. Then I realized that none of the NPCs nor myself were making any noises nor talking. Not only that but not even the mouths move either. Anyone have an idea as to why my game has suddenly turned mute? Also the rest of the game sounds are working as usual, its literally just the voices + mouths. Already tried verifying steam cache etc, nothing wrong there. Thanks in advance, my game has been running beautifully up until now and this is quite a damper. Just to clarify, its not just one NPC, its literally all NPCs are mutes and even my own character no longer grunts when fighting etc.... well after tinkering for a while I found that for some reason adding: Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa to my skyrim.ini fixed the problem ...

apoJake Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Thank you so much for posting what you did to fix it. I had the same thing happen to me and I was border-line panicking and fearing that I would have to re-install the game. I am still unsure how it happened, I have been modding it a lot, but not really sure. To clarify for anyone that may be confused:You have to add: "Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa" in under the [Archive] section of the Skyrim.ini file. I'm not sure if the order really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenacityQ Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 In case there is anyone out there that is having this problem. I recently ran into this issue and I found that this fixed the problem with having No NPC voices. Skyrim.ini Archive sResourceArchiveList=Skyrim - Invalidation.bsa, Skyrim - Misc.bsa, Skyrim - Shaders.bsa, Skyrim - Textures.bsa, Skyrim - Interface.bsa, Skyrim - Animations.bsa, Skyrim - Meshes.bsa, Skyrim - Sounds.bsa, Skyrim - Voices.bsa, Skyrim - VoicesExtra.bsa Thanks to OP for this topic.
