Is this issue happening only to gamers who downloaded game from Origin/PS Store/etc.? Or the ones who bought it in a shop as a physical copy have this problem also ?
For a moment I thought that maybe file is corrupted somehow and that's why downloading game again has no results at all.
It's hitting all platforms, both physical and digital. It also doesn't matter if you pre-ordered, pre-loaded or have the deluxe edition or not. 
So I am at about 55 hours of play, and I had thought maybe it was just my party selection that didn't banter. It seems like I get a couple of little banters when I first go into an area, but after that there isn't any. Mounting and Dismounting hasn't made any different that I can see in the banter. I usually travel with Cassandra, Varric, and Vivienne, although even when I swap them out for other characters there really isn't much banter. I have noticed I get more banter between Vivienne and Bull for some reason. Those two are the ones that talk to each other the most. (Which still isn't much, but its much better than the others.)

Ok, after more play-time, recruiting Vivienne and Blackwall, I've got a few more bits of banter between various people, including Sera and Vivienne bantering, but only about three or four in about...2 hours of playing. The switching audio thing seems to fix the music every time, and the banter only infrequently.
I was thinking - dismount/mount/rest, fiddling with audio settings all triggers auto-save, but i can`t disable it on pc, can someone disable the auto-save on console(if it`s even possible) and see if it changes anything? In case it`s related. This and lack of music(what triggers music, i wonder. I`m missing the "rest music" too.) seems to be the things in common.
Not only I feel bad for us as players, but also for all voice actors who gave so much of them. Spend all these hours recording every single word and... oh well.
That's really sad for everybody.

I'm playing it on my poor old xbox360, I'll do it today then I'll report ;D
... rest music? What rest music? 
well, ****...

I played around after reading a bunch of this thread, and what worked for me was just mounting and dismounting regularly. I went from no combat callouts aside from 'protect so and so' or 'help so and so,' no one commenting on the environment and banter once every couple hours if at all to three banters in the past hour, regular solo comments and proper battle callouts.
Here's hoping it continues.
Same issue here. I'm probably 40 hours in (damn you, work and computer issues) but I've had maybe- MAYBE five banters so far. Mostly between Vivienne and Bull. It was basically one banter per zone, if I was lucky.
I just changed my audio settings to Night, saved, then reloaded, and in ten minutes, heard a three part exchange between Dorian and Cassandra. Got another bit of dialogue between Vivienne and Cassandra twenty minutes later. Will see if that means I'm going to get more. Will update if the frequency goes up.
Edit: Got another banter 30 minutes later. Long gap, but better than I was getting previously!
There supposed to be music in Val Royeux? And combat dialogue? News to me. Also the mount-dismount-rest thingy seems to be working...kind of.
What's the average supposed to be? I usually get two to three convos in a run, though sometimes I could go a couple hours without one....I think. I've had a lot of good banter, so I guess I'm good. But I didn't have three in ten minutes!
What should we be getting?

Thank you!
When you click on rest(tent) at the camp, there is a fade to black and music should play, i got the music for the first couple of times, then it stopped playing.

We don't have official word, but based on anecdotes, it looks like one every 15-20 minutes (give or take), and sometimes one every 5-10.

There's... supposed to be regular music??? 
Oh dear - the fact that this is shocking to me is a little sad. I can run around for hours to nothing but the sound of my own feet hitting the ground.
Anyone confirmed if importing world states from the Keep is causing the glitch?
I'm on here on-and-off, so I've missed the clarification if it was posted.
As with most things for this bug, it's inconclusive. Some with the issue are on the default world state.

Okay then, I can check that off my mental list. Thanks.
Hate to be an annoyance. But what is the trick that's supposed to give you a few banters ?
At this point, saying that those who are not experiencing the bug are a privileged minority isn't an overstatement. More and more reports on various boards: Neogaf, Reddit, Gamefaqs, Italian forums, ecc...
This, together with the gender bug, is a MAJOR glitch, an almost game-breaking one actually, and it definitely needs more attention.
Honestly, if by the end of next week this doesn't get fixed, I'm done with the game. I was loving it so much, and yet here I was experiencing maybe a quarter of the character develpment. It doesn't help that there's people reporting of almost a hundred banters between Varric and Cass only.
Forgive my rant, I'm just incredibly bitter about all of this.

I have tried dismount-rest, I have tried dismount-rest-reload, I have tried reloading in general, changing the audio settings. Nothing has worked. And I think I'm getting less now than I was before. I'm really bummed, I know the game is brand new and there was bound to be bugs, but I'm really not digging the silence.

It does suck. I wouldn't call it game-breaking, but it certainly detracts from the game a great deal. I'm currently putting my playthrough on hold until this is fixed, because it's just distracting.
Even if I get a banter, I'm constantly on edge worrying about whether I'm ever going to get another one.
