A few weeks noticed I my asura did not had any speech and neither did any other npc but today I noticed something curious. Normally when you turn away from a npc the sound becomes softer/a bit more robotic and when you turn to them it turns into a clear proper voice. On my computer it seems like this is turned around. When I face a npc it turns soft/robotic but when I turn away it becomes clear. Repairing does not fix it.

Is their anything that can be done about this?

This a problem caused by having a playback device configured for surround sound at the device driver level when your hardware device is only stereo. What happens in this scenario is that audio is being directed toward a ‘center’ speaker that doesn’t physically exist and so you lose the sounds that happen directly on your character or right in front of them.

Configuring your device drivers to output 2.1 stereo should solve the problem.
