Problems with Voiced Lines in both BG:EE and BGII:EE

This is a problem I've encountered in both BG:EE and BGII:EE, but I've only seen a couple of threads on the subject, from nearly a year ago, and which received no response - hopefully I'll have better luck.
I've been experiencing some problems when it comes to the volume levels of voices in-game, in several different ways, but I imagine they're all likely related.
1) First, scrolling interrupts command acknowledgements. When telling the PC or an NPC to move, they acknowledge verbally, but as soon as I scroll the view anywhere the volume of their response drops to near-zero - I can just barely make out their whisper. If I don't scroll the view, they say the full line at normal volume, the way one expects them to.
2) Sarevok's ambush of Gorion is another place where the problem has been very noticeable. Every single spoken line in that scene is at whisper-volume, from you and Gorion walking to Sarevok's "I'm sorry that you feel that way, old man..." Which makes the full-volume spell casting and combat that ensues seem extra loud by comparison. Likeiwse, while Gorion and you are standing at the Gates of Candlekeep, just before leaving, his voice volume is working normally.
3) I did a quick test in BGII:EE to see if this was a problem with just BG:EE or not - Irenicus, his Golem, and the promptly-disintegrated Shadow Thief all seemed to be going at normal volume, but Imoen's spoken lines when she frees you are also suffering from super-quiet voice levels. Once she joins you, her usual acknowledgements are at normal volume again.
Has anybody else noticed similar problems, or know of any solutions?
