Huge sound issue/bug

I have been tearing my hair out over this issue and have not been able to play the game. At first when I had Fable 2 I had absolutely no issues. I didn't play it for a while and when I went back, the sound was buggy and broken. I have scoured the internet for a solution and no one else seems to have heard of this issue. I even work for an EB Games store and asked my Xbox 360 rep - he had no idea either.

Basically when I play the game, the voice acting is so low I have to turn my sound way up to even hear it (making me jump out of my chair at every extra-loud 'plink' that comes from someone logging on). Even when it's turned up, the sound isn't smooth and perfect. The first five words of the sentence will play without issue then the sound will drop out for a few seconds then come back in again after, missing whatever was said in between. The music is also very low but more audible than the voice acting.

I've tried playing from the hard drive and from the disc, flushing the cache, playing with and without the update and different sound systems. I've been through a few copies of the game (both limited edition and regular edition) and now I'm trying on a completely different xbox 360 and it has the same issue. I figured it wasn't with the disc when every disc I tried had the same issue and that it was a system issue. Trying it on other systems has proven even that to not be the case.

Any suggestions? Any one else have this problem? Or read about it on another forum? Google has failed me on this one! I really do want to play the game, but not with broken sound. Any suggestions are appreciated a thousand fold.

Thanks in advance!
 
Re: Huge sound issue/bug

I have yet to hear of a problem like this so far, are you using 5.1 channel sound ? what connection are you using for your xbox360... it sounds similar to a problem I had a while back with my sound system when I had it connected to a 5.1 chan SS and the xbox set to 5.1 chan but the actual speakers were set to stereo so it failed to play alot of the sounds from different audio angles.

Meh I really dont know, but good luck with your problem hopefully someone else on here has some better advice.
 
Re: Huge sound issue/bug

are your audio cables plugged in correctly?
are the sound settings on default?
 
Re: Huge sound issue/bug

Turns out the problem was the sound being set to Hi-Fi mode. Thanks for all the help and suggestions! I really appreciate it!
