Problem:

At times when playing GRAW2 the dialogues get lost and there’s no sound being played at all, though environmental FX are still OK. And it’s not the case of the “tank sound bug” known from the GRAW1. My audio card is a good, old Sound Blaster Live! Value.

Solution:

GRAW1/2 always had some problems with EAX support or general audio glitches (at least with my configuration, yep I know – not a top-notch audiophile sound hardware, but it’s sufficient for all my daily needs). But this time enabling EAX allowed me to hear the dialogues properly, though only for a while. Then the issue recurred. However switching to “Generic Software” audio renderer resolved the problem completely. Anyway, why the heck couldn’t they provide a subtitling option? Dunno.
