NPC Merchant | mild gossip oddities 2: they have no mouth

[Erkor 119]

• Type of Bug: Addon(???)

• Description: Assigned NPC greeting sounds will completely and utterly stop playing entirely for ALL NPCs if you select an NPC, and then open their gossip window.
This also happens if you select an NPC with your sound off, then turn it on, and deselect them.

• Evidence (Chat message/Screenshot):
Videos below.

• Steps to reproduce:
Method 1
---------------------------------
Create a Phase Forged NPC.
Enable their gossip window, and edit their sounds with the NPC Merchant addon functionality.
Do not give them a Greeting sound.
Click on the NPC to trigger the OnClick sound.
Without de-selecting them, right-click them to enter the gossip window.
NPC sounds should no longer play after this occurs.
---------------------------------
Method 2
---------------------------------

Create a Phase Forged NPC.
Enable their gossip window, and edit their sounds with the NPC Merchant addon functionality.
Disable your sound. (Default: CTRL+S)
Click on the NPC.
Enable your sound. (Default: CTRL+S again)
De-select the NPC.
NPC sounds should no longer play after this occurs.

Adding to the list:

My NPC sounds were working fine until yesterday. 

Today (13th of September) I started experiencing a weird bug where the NPCs would suddenly repeat their greeting sound whenever I clicked on an option, even though they are only supposed to say their greeting sound when I first open the dialogue page, as I have only greeting and farewell options enabled.

And now, all of a sudden, I am no longer able to hear any NPC sounds in any phases, apart from the first NPC I talk to when I load into the game.
My friend is also unable to hear any NPC sounds, even if he relogs.
I have not fiddled with any sound settings, and neither has my friend.
I don't have any custom patches or addons.
