If you are updating from previous patch, you only need to download Main. For first time install, download both Main and Audio and unzip them before installing.
Provided optional installation for restoration as basegame pak replacement for people with issues. This means that in the game files, only the restored version and converted patch voice lines of the audio files exist. (Size difference between base game and DVQR .paks is correct due to the different audio codecs.)
If you backup the original Voice.pak and VoiceMeta.pak in this method, make sure they are moved outside of Baldur's Gate 3 game folder.
Yes. If you use the optional full replacement, you don't need the mod version. Full replacement indeed replaces all basegame dialogue audio and metadata with the restored versions.
Thank you for sharing and good to hear it works now. I have no idea what causes some of the audio to not always load. Even if you have Main, Audio1 and Audio2, some machines refuse to load them all at once. I don't have this issue, but changing load order, changing pak names can fix this but I have no idea why.
If you don't use any other audio mods and still have issues in future, I recommend trying the DVQR - Full Basegame Replacement. That way only the restored dialogue content exists in the game files.
Thanks heaps for the mod Arbitality, the quality uptick is noticeable and works great on my Patch 8 playthrough. This is a must have in my opinion.
Just a quick question, is there any conflict between your mod and other mods that restore/alter voice lines and banter, such as Dark Urge Banter Dialogue Fixes?
Thank you. I’ll be downloading this today. I have a question about other voice altering mods. If the Patch 5 version of those mods is available then it might/could “work” with this mod. Am I reading that correctly? But I guess a second question comes up. Suppose Larian changed dialog between Patch 5 and Patch 8. Would that “break” things? I’m going to use this for the run I’m getting ready to start and it will be my only voice mod. It does leave me curious
Yes, patch 5 version of other voice mods can work. The reason patch 5 versions of other voice mods would work is because they use that previous audio codec this mod restores.
For every patch I run the conversion on the latest files so they are up to date with all new patch dialogue.
Hello, thanks for the mod but as a new modding user i'm lost with BG3 MM, everytime I open the manager it looks like this (link below) and i'm not sure if I installed your mod correctly :(

Tried the Optional one, still the same sound quality, dunno what i'm doing wrong so i'll stop trying and play vanilla, sadly...
So my load order keeps getting reset every time i load the game using this, any advice? i tried to load after and before MCM but not results, no other mod is causing it and i currently have over 200 mods
Thanks for the feedback, I have reverted today's change. Version 2.2 is Patch 8 ready and works as before. Unfortunate findings with normal mod structure and asset replacer overrides that I managed to avoid on my machine but appeared elsewhere.
First of all, thanks for your replying. I am using this with my collection, barely over 400 mods. Yours in particular resets the modsettings.lsx Replying to your question, I use Vortex to download mods/manage the collection and then I use BG3MM to manage the load order and import/export the load order to the game.
I haven't had modfixer since ever, since it wasn't necessary since A LONG time. Also, I already did that basic throubleshooting :P My best guess is that you messed something within your UUIDs, due to that being the cause in load orders resetting in the past.
Reverted back from today's v2.3 structure change. Same as below, version 2.2 is Patch 8 ready and works as before as an override mod. Unfortunate findings with normal mod structure and asset replacer overrides that I managed to avoid on my machine but appeared elsewhere. Might be that this cannot be changed like I thought at all so mod stays as it is for the time being since at least this way it works.
Amazing mode! In good headphones sounds so much better then vanilla! Game is now much more immersive and everything sounds much better and clearer! I didn't hear much difference on the sample but in the game different story. Thank you so much!

edit: I had to launch the BG3 MM as admin' but I think it worked ! How can I know if it's working please ?
I didn't see this with BG3 Mod Manager
EDIT: This might be a patch 8 issue, try removing Modfixer, delete modsettings.lsx, update manager and restart your game if there are more issues
