RESOLVED: No narrator voice Xbox Series X

Update: I reinstalled the game and when that didn’t work I went poking around in the Xbox settings themselves.

I had all the high end video options turned on, including Dolby Vision. This was the culprit! I turned it off and now I hear the narrator!

Thank you all for responding.


I have been playing BG3 since it has been available on the Xbox. I didn’t even know that the narrator was voiced but it seemed strange that those parts of the game were silent.

My friend that plays on Xbox says he does hear the voice.

There does not seem to be an audio setting that I can find to be able to hear the narrator.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I can’t find anything online pertaining to Xbox other than a few people also having the issue.

Thank you.

Paddzr,

At least your 2nd play through is going to be a lot better with the narrator!

teft,

I know this is going to be painful to hear for a 100gb game but have you tried reinstalling the game? I had an issue on PS5 when the game first came out that only went away after a reinstall. I don’t believe there is a setting to disable the narrator voice.

YaksDC,

I wanted to try this but I was very afraid of losing my progress.

Wiping the game doesn’t wipe save files but if you’re super worried you can always backup the save file to a usb drive before you uninstall the game.

YaksDC,

Might be the only way. I feel like I am missing a big part of the game.

teft,

You really are missing out. The narrator is great. She adds lots of tension and mystery to some scenes.

YaksDC,

Thank you. I will give it a try. ☺

Very strange. I would contact support about this.

Does it also happen when you start a new game?

YaksDC,

I tried but all I got was a message that they are very busy and I should look on the forums. The forums don’t really have any good help pertaining to Xbox yet. Seems like there were a lot of audio issues on the PC version, which is all the information I can find.
