Sounds like one of your ESPs has been "Emsified". Does any of your ESPs turn up blue in Wrye Bash? If so right click on it and choose Espify.

There are a few race mods that were Emsified so that I could add custom partners with CM Partners. CM Partners directions say that once partners are made the Emsified mods cab be turned back to ESPs and that the custom partners "should work". I found that for me they only work if the ESMs are still active. Does the process of Emsiing the esps add unwanted debris or effects? Can they be cleaned of this? tl

Well, you have seen the unwanted effect of ESMifying ESPs.
AFAIK only the format and/or the file headers are changed, not the actual records of the file, so it's safe to ESPify the files that have been ESMified.

The Esmifieds were definitely the problem.. Will have to peruse partners more and see what I screwed up.

Now if I can figure out why audible voice drops out when I interact with NPC's I will be all set.
