Protagonist voice is silent

[ELowry]

After updating from version 1.2.0 to 1.3.0, my protagonist is currently silent. Time seems to pass as if the voice line was being read, but there is no audio output.

I am currently in Verdant Caves, after meeting the first giant. I am on Windows 11, and using the correct ("old") versions of offline natural voices.

The playback preview works fine in the mod menu, but when I press the play button next to a dialog choice, it just creates a silent "delay".

I can't reproduce this issue unfortunately.
My advice would be to delete your settings.xml file in the mod folder and try again.
If that does not help you can try to look for errors that refers to SpeechMod in the file at %AppData%\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous\GameLogFull.txt and paste snippets here.

Same here. Nothing to do with protagonist voice works - it's just silent. Every other setting seems to work fine.

I no longer have the game installed to verify this. But I believe the issue may have been a side-effect of barks (I experienced this in the DLC ice area IIRC) breaking, and messing up multiple other voice lines when they did.
I downgraded after that, so the problem may have been happening in other parts of the game, but I cannot confirm that.
