Check the simple audio path first: Windows output device, volume mixer, and VALORANT's voice-over volume. Then switch the game to another available language and back so Riot Client can refresh its language files, or run Repair. Update Windows and the audio driver only if other sound is also affected. Do not delete xaudio or VALORANT files manually.
Before you continue
Check one sound typeConfirm whether music, effects, team voice, or only agent speech is missing.
Check output and mixerVALORANT may be muted or routed to a different device.
Repair language filesUse Riot Client instead of deleting DLL or .pak files.
In a safe practice area, check music, sound effects, agent voice lines, and team voice separately. This page is for missing character speech, not microphone trouble.

Check the Windows output device
Select the speaker icon and choose the headset or speakers you are actually using. Open Volume mixer and make sure VALORANT is not muted or routed elsewhere.
3
Check VALORANT audio settings
Open Settings > Audio and confirm the voice-over or dialogue volume is above zero. Leave team voice settings alone unless chat is also affected.
4
Refresh the game language
Close the game, open Riot Client Settings > VALORANT, choose another available language, let it download, then switch back to the language you want.
If other games or Windows sounds are also missing, install Windows updates and the computer or audio-device maker's driver, then restart.
7
Collect logs for a repeatable fault
If only agent speech remains missing, collect Riot logs after reproducing it and list the agent, map, language, and audio device in the support ticket.
