Death and Pain Sound Bug

I can’t be the only one that’s noticed this. This started around the September 9th patch where I no longer heard the death sounds of any male Human, Asura, Sylvari, or Norn. The male Charr death sounds play as they should. As far as I know, all female death sounds play.
The death sounds still play if an illusion dies or if you walk into a place with a bunch of dead npcs that can’t be revived.
It seems none of the male Human, Asura, Norn, or Sylvari pain noises are playing either, male Charr and all females are fine. The sounds they make when they attack still work.
This happened on both my old computer and the one I just got a couple of days ago so it isn’t related to that.

Proof that what I say is true – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vn5qboPCHQQ

I’m fairly certain that this issue will be entirely fixed in an upcoming release. Please report back if this is still happening after our next game update.
