Back to the voices, now that I'm paying attention I do hear talking every combat or so. "This can't be" and so on, but generally on the part of the enemies.

...I also hear a giggle occasionally while walking through town, which thus far has never failed to startle me.

Never noticed giggling in my game, just that whistling every so often that I mentioned before...

I'll have to play around with the volume settings as I might be missing some of the voices since they seem to be drowned out by the music and other fx/sounds.

(Playing on a notebook, but it's actually pretty decent 4850 mobility 512M and a 2.4G core 2 w/4GB, drives getting a bit cramped as it's *cough* *only* 230ish GB(base 8, based).)

I've noticed a lot more of these little in-combat quips now that I'm paying attention. I've got the cat lady and her militia following me around, so it might just be having a lot more people involved in the combat. I guess it means my speech is working? I dunno...

Oh, I'm sure that I guess mine is working as much as yours is, it's just that I'm using a notebook with craptacular builtin speakers, so I'm probably missing more...

OTOH I've played alto of other games where speech comes through fine, so maybe it's just overall crap polish on aFtD...

Anyways, just bought King's Bounty: The Legend and Star Wolves 3, so I'll likely drop this for a while...
