Well, I'm not sure about the reference to the problem being "fixed", as I've recently started playing and one of the big two stand-out problems in the game is the relentless repeating barks from people in town. I've found myself walking around trying to find a quiet area where I don't have to listen to the infinite looped repeating lines. Turning voice down is not a good solution as I'm happy to have a conversation with an NPC, I just don't want the unimportant spamming from bystanders.
