    Hey there @Jotapgs1988,

    A large majority of the time, this happens because the headset is set to a sound mode that it does not support. For instance, the headset is set to 5.1 or 7.1 stereo sound, when there's only 2 speakers in the headset. This means that certain sounds such as NPC dialogue will play through speakers that don't exist for you.

    To edit this, right click on the speaker in the bottom-right corner of the Desktop next to the time and choose Playback Devices. Click on the default device, indicated by a large green checkmark, then choose Configure.

    The next steps will vary based on your audio drivers, as each of them have a different interface. If you're just using standard drivers, it usually looks like this.

    If you have more supported sound modes, they'll show up in this menu. Try selecting Stereo, go through the prompts with Next, and it should set correctly. Once that's set, try running the game and let us know if the audio returns!
