Ok, I'm not sure what's been going on so I thought I'd post here. After a happy few weeks or so of playing Oblivion, having fun with mods, even learning to make my own, osmething odd happened.

Certain NPC voices no longer make any audio. I can see the text in the general subtitles, so they ARE speaking, it just makes no noise. Their lips don't even move. I couldn't find any information regarding this, so I deleted Oblivion, and removed any trace of it ever existing on my computer, then reinstalled it.

I played, and had the same problem.

I got the latest patch, still no audio.

No mods were active, or even installed during both instances. Help?
