Hi everyone,

I'm posting this to see if anyone else has encountered a specific audio issue with Halsin in the current patch, or if there is a known workaround.

The Issue: Halsin plays his scripted dialogue lines perfectly fine. However, he is completely silent regarding "effort" or "bark" audio cues. Specifically, he makes no sound when:

Executing an attack (weapon swings).

Taking damage (no injured grunts).

Using spells.

All other companions work as intended; this is isolated to Halsin.

Troubleshooting Steps Taken: I suspected this might be a mod conflict initially, so I have already:

Completely removed all mods and cleared the Mods and Public folders.

Cleared the local AppData folder (%LocalAppData%\Larian Studios\Baldur's Gate 3).

Verified game file integrity via Steam.

Tested on a save loaded after performing the clean-up.

The issue persists despite these steps. I am currently in contact with Larian Support (and have sent them my save file for analysis), but since support tickets can take time, I wanted to ask the community:

Has anyone else experienced this silence with Halsin recently? If so, is there a known fix or a specific file I should check?

Thanks in advance!
