I've just come across this - Talana speaks, and the sound completely stops (including her own dialogue) and the game is silent from that point on - no background music, npc speech, or sfx from attacks / skills. Her subtitle also stays on the screen perminantly.

I tried save / loading, but that didn't fix it. I also completed the quest I was doing (Vigor Mortis) in the hopes that it would solve it, which it almost did - there was sound for the seconds that I chose my reward, and then Talana's subtitle returned and with it dead silence.

Anyone have this happen before? Were you able to solve it? Or do I have to restart my game?

EDIT: Whoops - forgot to mention that I've got Dragon Knight Saga, on Xbox 360. Sorry.

Might be worth sending your game into Larian after you read all their tech help sticky threads.

Did you try to play a new game and then load your old game to "kick start" the sound working again?

Every time there I run into trouble on the road, there is always a dwarf at the bottom of it. Don't they know how to drive above ground?

I have lost the sound many times just as you described it. But, putting the game on pause with "F" key and resuming it immediately afterwards, always brought the sound back for me.


I'd like to close by quoting Bellegar's famous last rhyme:

"Cursed be the mother that bred thee!
The wench must have been a hell-spawned banshee!"

I didn't - I just tried pausing, saving, reloading, resetting and such. I've just got home, and started a new game, then reloaded the old game - problem solved.

The sound worked perfectly in the menus [the noise when you scroll the start menu] and at the title screen, so I knew it wasn't a hardware issue.

So if anyone else experiences this problem - start a new game, load the old game. Hopefully this works reliably, and anyone who has this problem can find this thread [I searched all kinds of key words to try find a solution to this problem]. smile
