I am having a problem with select sounds not playing in Sacred 2. The opening cut scenes have no dialogue and my character doesn't speak when fighting, accepting/declining quests, etc. All other sounds play normally, including similar NPC and enemy combat chatter. It appears that the only sounds affected are those from the localization in ...\locale\en_UK\ (i.e. speechhq.zip, speechhq1.zip, speechhq2.zip, speechlq.zip, speechlq1.zip, and speechlq2.zip) I can open those archives and play the sounds with VLC, so it's apparently not a file corruption issue. The localization settings seem to be correct otherwise; no text issues or anything like that. Using high-quality vs low-quality sounds makes no difference. Changing the Commentary level in the sound settings doesn't have an effect, although it's currently set to "Always."
Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Solved: I had the Volume Ratio 2D/3D turned down to 0, but when I turned it up to max the missing audio returned.
