Delves muting dialogue permanently

[Spotemdottem-area-52]

I finished waterworks, and now cutscenes don’t have any dialogue. The AH npcs don’t have any dialogue, etc. No dialogue audio at all anywhere. Nothing changed in my settings, and everything is set properly.

Another thread with people experiencing the issue:

Lost cutscene dialogue

Not sure if it’s related, but I was midway through the MSQ as of Aug 27 and middle of my cutscene the dialogue just stopped, then after that ALL dialogue wouldn’t play anywhere in the game, just dialogue, SFX were still a go. I restarted the client and it came back, but then as soon as the next cutscene started, no dialogue again. How and why is this suddenly happening and how do I prevent/fix it permanently?
