Audio In-Game Not Working?
I've had an issue where the in-game audio isn't playing, but the menus are playing audio and I can hear my friends on discord. Is anyone else having this issue and is there any known fix?

I’m on Xbox and have been getting audio bugs on and off. When shooting the yellow heavies specifically.

I'm on Xbox and have absolutely no audio sometimes just ambiant background wind

I had a problem where I could hear all the cut scenes fine but nothing while playing. I tried fooling with the audio options in game and on my computer but no luck. I wasnt about to go digging into the game files for something that i wasnt super thrilled about, but I finally plugged in some USB headphones and it started working. Only when the headphones are connected through USB and only some audio. Still no sound from talking NPCs

Do you have Dolby Atmos?

I've seen something about it on my computer (I think it came pre installed) but I dont go to use it ever. I get most of the sounds when using USB headphones so its playable now but havent found a better solution yet

It's in your spacial sound settings for your audio devices. I don't think the game supports the software yet which is why we hear the pre rendered audio but not the in game audio

I just checked, I dont have Dolby atmos... thanks for the suggestion tho

To fix The Division 2 beta PC no dialogue sound bug, head to your documents folder and then the folder called “My Games.” Open this, and then the subsequent “The Division 2” one. Edit the two files called “persistent_settings.cfg” and “state.cfg.”
For the persistent settings file, make sure that the “BD” value is set to 0, and then save it as a “read-only” file. For the state file, scroll down to “localisation” and make sure that “spoken language” is set to 0 as well. Resetting these two values will revert the game’s audio back to your native language, and ensure that the correct dialogue is spoken in-game.

It wasn't no dialogue, it was complete silence of the gameplay audio. I figured out it was Dolby Atmos causing the issue. Thanks anyways!
