Not sure what happened in the fury incarnate patch but since then I’ve been missing my echo-y death knight voice on my vulpera character. I miss it.
My Blood Elf is also missing it, even on 10.2 PTR it’s gone.

I submitted a ticket on this earlier today, and I received this helpful response from Curodgar, a GM. I followed the directions provided, but nothing seemed to change. When I added the line to the file, the file does not save - or at least it will until I launch the game.
Anyone having success with this? I know this fix was suggested on these forums a year ago, but it no longer seems to be working. Any additional support provided here would be helpful! Thank you!

Greetings Furinax!
My name is Game Master Curodgar. I hope that this message finds you well. To start, thank you for taking the time to reach out and for allowing us the opportunity to help get you back into your routine of playing our games! We’ll do our best to get your issue squared away!
One way to enable the Death Knight voices is to modify the config.wtf file in your WoW installation directory. In that file, add the following line to the bottom of the list:
SET Sound_EnableDSPEffects “1”
Sometimes the /console commands don’t get saved, but when you edit that config.wtf file in your World of Warcraft_GAMEVERSION_\WTF\ folder, and save it, it should add that setting in.
If you see that line already IN the config.wtf file, make sure it’s set to 1.
if that doesn’t change anything, we’ll want to report this on the forums. You can report that bug via the in-game bug report system or the Bug Report forums [https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/c/support/bug-report/17 ] so our dev teams can get proper eyes on it and make sure there’s nothing that’s broken! It’s super appreciated!
I appreciate you reaching out to us. If you run into any other trouble, don’t hesitate to contact us again in the future! Take care. /salute
I’ve noticed that the effect seems to be missing only on voiced emotes (from what I can tell so far). Error speech still has the reverb effects.
Definitely seems to be a weird audio bug.
Tried this and it did not work 
I think error speech might be the only working segment right now, as other voice lines such as grunting when auto-attacking in melee are also missing the effect.
How does something like this break?

Same way something like Aerial Halt’s vigor restore perk breaks: Nobody actually knows. 
My guess is either background updates for future customization options or that they are getting rid of the Death Knight reverb effect, or perhaps the way they currently do the effect has been changed.
Regardless, I think it’s unlikely they’re ever going to bother fixing this, at least not before 11.0 if the issue is related to upcoming content or something. The audio for the Running Wild /mountspecial emote has been missing audio for at least three patches IIRC (and it’s STILL bugged on 10.2 PTR, what is even the point of submitting bug reports?). They really don’t like to bugfix issues with player models and audio for whatever reason.
They better not, because it’s one of the best parts of DK. And it’d make no sense to just suddenly take it away - especially when DHs still have their own voice effect still intact.
Unfortunately the truth of it, which infuriates me as much as everything else that remains unfixed months or years later - like garrison statues not showing up, one of Tomb of Sargeras’ bosses being broken and capable of bricking your entire run, broken instance locks which could trap you in an endless load screen loop if you get caught in the portal area, etc.
Either way, here I am to report in that this is STILL broken. I know you don’t give a rat’s backside about anything but current content, Blizz (and even that’s debatable sometimes), but can we please get this fixed? As minor as it is?
What’s the point of submitting bug reports if you guys do literally absolute nothingburger about them?

Adding my voice to the chorus of “Ode to my DK VFX.”
This is absolutely annoying since I’ve noticed it missing. “AdvancedInterfaceOptions” addon does nothing, and can confirm editing the wtf file does more of the same. Add another reason for people to hate on me more because my character isn’t intimidating enough cause I have big ears and a fur coat.
Bad enough I got NPCs calling me a mortal. Now, I gotta sound like the mortals, too! Ugh!
Reporting in on the issue as well. Only reason it took me so long to notice was due to having voiced error messages toggled off.
Seriously, I don’t know how the hell people play with that on…
“Not enough rage!”
“Need more rage!”
“I don’t have a target!”
Anyway, the moment I realized it wasn’t working and that the option for the toggle is gone, I came straight here.
My voice is broken too. The fix did not work for me.
I think I had noticed DK reverb missing, but I want to get rid of the reverb on Clarelle for Superbloom. It’s much more creepy than the death knight voices.
Any update on this?
I still have the problem…
Sadly not.
And with Blizzard’s track record, it’s unlikely to be fixed for a good few years, tbh. If at all.
None of the mentioned fixes have solved the issue for me, either.
