Hello, I am having problems with my oblivion. I don't know if I'm really in the right place for help, but i figured its worth a go...
basically whenever i'm talking to a character there is no voice. the lip files all seem fine and i have adequate time to read what they are saying, so its only a minor problem, but does affect the experience. all other sounds work fine, including outside of dialogue voices.
I DO have several mods installed, however these are all pretty popular and from what i understand with readmes, BOSS and wyre bash should all be playing together nicely, though I am generally not a PC gamer and am fairly new to mods, though i've been careful about doing it right (after the first attempt being a fail)
It might also be worth noting it is the UK version of the game, and I don't know if any the mods i have installed would conflict with that or not, though from what i've read it shouldn't.

What I have tried:
Bash patching/following suggestions from BOSS
deactivating mods that may be the problem
clean uninstall/reinstall (twice) http://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=240
http://cs.elderscrolls.com/constwiki/index.php/Fix_dialogues_in_localized_non_english_versions (even though it is for non-english and was pretty skeptical about results)

I know I won't be able to get any *official* tech support because of the mods, but I was hoping someone might have a suggestion. any further information you might need from me I would be happy to provide

Hi there and welcome. :wave:


I know a few mods which has no voice for the NPC, but some mods is actually using voices drawn from the vanilla.

Since you don't posted your LO I can only guess of what mods you have installed. http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/search.php?name=Silent&scid=20&author=&mname=&desc=&size1=&size2=&downloads1=&downloads2=&udate1_day=&udate1_month=&udate1_year=&udate2_day=&udate2_month=&udate2_year=&ldate1_day=&ldate1_month=&ldate1_year=&ldate2_day=&ldate2_month=&ldate2_year=&endorsemants=&images=&readme=&advltonly=&page=2&orderby=name&order=ASC are widely used. :user:

I don't want the voices silent though, and i don't need a filler mp3 because the text moves at a normal pace as if they were speaking, so i have plenty of time to read...
well here is my load order

I think this thread is in the wrong forum, so I will ask the moderator to move it to the Oblivion mods forum.

To handle your LO you need to install both http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1138211-relz-boss-better-oblivion-sorting-software/ and http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1136734-relz-wrye-bash-thread-54/ if you don't have them.
Just run BOSS and then rebuild the bashed patch in Wrye Bash and that could work.

Are you running a non-English version of Oblivion? This can happen sometimes when users try to run English language mods on a non-English version of Oblivion.

The first post statesOne thing that isn't quite clear to me is whether you mean *all* NPCs or whether you're only talking about NPCs which are added by mods. By the sounds of it, you're meaning all of them, but I'd like to make sure first.

yes it is all of them that I have encountered so far.
