I’ve been playing hours of Fallout London now and only just realizing there is in fact supposed to be voice acting and not just me reading subtitles! It seems only some of my audio is working, like rain and gunshots, but no voices or music. Any ideas how to fix this / what could be causing it?
I play through Heroic’s GOG launcher using GE Proton.

Fallout 4 also has audio bugs running under Proton, I don’t think it’s mod related. So you could broaden your search and check Protondb. Some say use wine/proton 9.0, some say just download “xact” with proton / wine tricks to the game’s pfx. I don’t know personally so can’t verify.
If you’re using other mods at the same time, I’d try doing the binary search thing — turn them off, see if the problem goes away, if so, turn half of them off, see if the problem goes away, then of the problematic half, try turning half of that off, etc.

It sounds like Bethesda says that something similar can happen in their games if you have a 5.1 configuration with nothing hooked up to some of the speakers.
I vaguely recall some bug on very old versions of Proton, something with the sound subsystem, that caused speech to not show up in some Bethesda game, though I think it was a problem that showed up after a while, not always not present from the start of the game. Trying to deal with that was what initially got me to use Proton GE. I doubt that it’s what’s going on here, but you could try switching Proton versions.
I don’t have Fallout 4 installed at the moment, but Skyrim has separate volume sliders in the settings for voice and music, so I assume Fallout 4 does too. You might check that.
Just a clean, no-mods install here, and already checked the volume sliders in-game. I did try switching to wine 11.4 and got some error about failing to inject a dll… I’ll try switching Proton versions and see what happens.
I went back to GE Proton 10-34 and the sound came in! Thanks for the suggestion.
I had an issue with no audio, I followed step 6 of this to get sound working, you could check and see if that works
