Audio for Voices drowns out since 1.05 dlc

Hi,
I was playing TW3 without any major problems since release and through the various patches.
But now something extremely annoying is happening since the last DLC patch (fool's gold, gwent set).
When I initiate a cutscene dialogue (camera goes into fixed dialogue mode) Geralt's and the person's voice I am talking too
are being played with a lowered volume.
The volume itself that is being chosen seems random, from slightly lower volume to almost impossible to hear.
Each reload or death and reload exacerbates the issue until Geralt's and the NPC's voice is almost muted.

There seems to be no direct fix for this, numerous reloads or restarts of the game do not seem to fix it.
Sometimes you can hear pops and crackles during dialgoues and then the audiolevel jumps back to normal levels only
to fade away again during the same dialogue. This does NOT affect any of the background voices, effects or soundtrack.
They play perfectly clear.

As you can imagine this is extremely annoying in a story-driven game with alot of dialogues. So severe in fact that I chose to stop playing atm.

I did all the usual things, checked my drivers, eventlog etc

Win 7 x64 6GB RAM
Realtek HD audio onboard
Geforce GTX 760 driver 353.06

did you reinstall the game?

Not yet. I finished the game once with no problems, I am hoping this is a temporary problem that will get fixed in next patch before I reinstall it.

UPDATE:
I disabled the Gwent Card DLC ingame and now it works again.

It sounds rather unlikely that the DLC has something to do with an audio problem
but sofar this is the only thing I changed on my PC or ingame and I did not have the problem
for the last play session including reloads and restarts.

Wow thanks for the update, Mothra. I too am having the exact same problem and it has been driving me nuts. Looks like I'll be disabling that right now. Thanks so much again
