No idea...could come from your sound card, or your sound file player.
Maybe open your game/data/sound, and try to play sounds files by clicking on it, and see if they read ok...
I know i had to change from windows mediaplayer to VLC to solve some sounds issue here.

Also when in the bunker and i asked the office for a mission i got the start of war briefing and after i asked for a patrol, I was warned 'do you want to start a patrol with no mission'.? I asked for a mission again but could not see how to or if i need to select one. So went out on patrol anyway. Is this an issue.

When you ask for new mission, once in the map animation hit skip at top window (or wait the end of animation), go find the little iron cross small icon somewhere on the map (that's on your patrol area) and clic on it. Once opened clic ask mission (you should see other yellow icon appearing closeby), and then hit the little black cross at map window top right to exit.
Clic officer again, and ask for starting patrol

Very unlikely to be hardware related. I have 2 sound cards, one pci & one on board, but they both work flawlessly and all other game sounds seem to work. I have voices in the bunker, general sounds effects while on the boat can all be heard, its just the crew responses that are silent. Its odd, i assumed it was a mod issue.. I've always used VLC as my media player. Sounds in the sounds/voices folder player fine.

Present mods. No generic patcher.

Thank you! I'm such a nub!

EDIT: Well i reloaded the campaign for the bunker, correctly selected a mission and went on patrol, now voices are back and the game is running smoothly and as expected. Thanks all.

I'll slowly add mods and learn the basic mechanics. Like how to get the crew off the bridge to dive!
