I have recently redownloaded and reinstalled TMO 1.52. I applied the speech fix to it, but I'm not hearing the crash dive speech after a while. The fix seemed to work when I was running the stock game with ROW sounds and this fix. I'm not using the ROW sounds with TMO since it seems to use it anyway. I haven't really used blow ballast but once. When I used it, it was also my last.

At least before I died, I heard blow ballast rather distinctly.
