Dialog in campaign cutscenes is missing then all dialog is missing from the game thereafter

Dialog audio in campaign cutscenes is missing then all dialog is missing from the game thereafter. This happened with Rooks Rally and The Edicts. I dont want to do more quests to check if more are bugged as Id rather see the cutscenes in game for myself with dialog.

Had exactly the same issue.

Turn on subtitles to see what is going on in the story. Not ideal but better than waiting for it to be fixed.

I just found that ALL dialog just stopped after summoning the new Rooks from Skywall…except my own player dialog. Even hearthed out to another continent and it didn’t work when I tried clicking on NPCs. Had to shut down WoW completely and relog to get it working again.

This is now the 2nd time this has happened. Very frustrating

Responding here to get this bumped. The animation and what is going on looks cool, but why the hell is this even an issue.

I can’t believe they didn’t fix this with the weekly reset.

This is also happening to me, I’ve tried re-doing the quest a few times now but have been unable to hear any dialog in the cut scene and some times the NPC dialog during the quest also breaks. Sound effects and music work normally. Tried with no addons, 2 different sound devices and restarting game

Had this happen on the Xalatath and Lilian Voss cutscene now. Such a shame, really takes you out of the storytelling. I was enjoying the questing too…

Everything that’s old is new again: this was an issue that came up at literally the very first cutscene when 11.0 launched with Magni. Now it’s happening at the end of the Rook Rally quest.
Guess I won’t be progressing until it gets fixed; in a trilogy where they’re putting story first I’d like to…you know…properly experience that story.

Got a response from Blizz CS. Good news is they are actually acutely aware of the issue. Bad news is there’s no ETA on a hotfix.

This is unfortunate, for sure. I didn’t experience this issue at all through the campaign as I was leveling. I believe it was a cutscene in Dhar Kazhad that started it for me. Then all NPC audio is dead until a game restart. Definitely an immersion breaker for me. Can we at least get an official post from Blizzard stating they are working on this? Appreciate that you at least received a response, Varagon.

Seems fixed, at least for Rook Rally

Seems to be fixed for me as well. Getting voices after Rook Rally and got voices in cutscene.
