NPC voice overs sound distant

personent

This strange problem seems to have come up since the Whitestrake Festival. Anytime I speak with an NPC, their voices sound distant, like they are inside a room or behind a wall; echo-y and not all there. I -think- my characters' voices are the same way, but the 'Arrgs' and 'cheers' are a little too short for me to really hear if it is a problem. All the other sounds in the game, such as music and combat sounds seem to be fine. Another odd thing is it only seems to happen on headphones; when I use my computer speakers, they seem fine. I checked in both of my headphone jacks on my computer with headphones, problem is still there. Tried it with different set of headphones, seems to be the same problem.

Any advice and/or ideas would be appreciated. I have reported this as a 'bug' but it no one seems to be doing anything about it.

Thank you!
