You've got larger periods of time recorded, right? You do have some of the hours and hours of silence around, I hope?
I don't have anything saved anywhere, but I definitely get hours of silence. I just have this thing up to show my friend the game. I tried clearing my journal, I'd hate if that suddenly started working. Like I said, someone with COMPLETE silence might be better.
My CPU runs at over 80% while I'm playing the game, and I'm more than up to stuff. I don't run other programs on top of that one as a result. I leave Skype, my anti-viruses and Origin up and that's it. Otherwise, I'd record it myself.
Edit: I am going to be playing the game again a little later once I get some more coffee in my system. I'm going to try out the journal/codex thing, but otherwise I'm not going too far out of my way to test. I'm going to just play normally and see what happens.
I do know that I wish I had music in Val R. Banter, something! You could hear a noble fart in the Docks while standing in the marketplace, it is so quiet.

Same, though since I can run Chrome too (though it gets disgustingly laggy), I'll try later when I have more time. Really doubt so though.

Well, I know I have the issue, but my game isn't completely silent, so I just hope a dev wouldn't look at it, hear one very rare banter, and then claim nothing's wrong. But I'll keep it up because for the most part the game IS silent, the music is non-existent, and it doesn't hurt my computer at all to have it running. That said, I'm just going to give up on this for now, and go play in silence for a bit. Good luck guys.
Ok, the codex trick is still not giving me music in Val Rayaux.
Giving you a like for this. For one, you're testing with us. For another, you have Vivi as your avatar. 
FFIX is so overlooked and underrated.
I took Cass, Varric, and Dorian out to Sahrnia last night and they were surprisingly chatty for once! I was getting banters approx. every 8-15 minutes. I'm not exactly sure why banter seems to be working now, at least in this area. I didn't do the resting/mounting trick nor mess with the audio settings. Though I did fast travel back to the camps a lot, so that may have triggered it.
I'll play some more and document exactly what I was doing to see if I can narrow it down.

Update:
I loaded my first character (completed mainquest). Checked every entry in the journal and the codex. No banter. Then I also "checked" every item in my inventory. Two minutes later I had the first(!) banter between Iron Bull and Dorian. The music works, too.
So if the journal trick doesn't seem to work, it might help to look through the inventory as well.
Still no music in Val Royeaux. Traveled to the Hinterlands, background music is fine, banter between Dorian and Bull after 13 or 14 minutes. No combat music, though and I got more comments during combat with my second, low level character, after I tested the trick with her savegame.
Just thought I'd throw in my experience.
Tried the journal and codex trick, played for roughly 40 minutes with a completely new party combination in the Hinterlands, only one banter. Still no combat music or music in Val Royeaux. Sigh.

Figured I am going to spend a lot of time in this thread, so I thought I should get an avatar.
And yes, FFIX is such a charming rpg. Beautiful soundtrack, gourgeous art and well developed characters. I just can't stop praising that game.
"journal" fix triggered two banters for me. but it was also after i set up a camp, now that i think about it.
i might be done thinking about it 
Maybe more testing later, when I'm less frustrated.
Heh, I was curious to see what had happened overnight, and waking up to the 'perception' comment - oh, wow, that annoyed me quite a bit. That's fairly disheartening.
For my part, outside the initial hour of gameplay, and one other instance (maybe another hour), I've been playing DAI on my PS4 completely offline ( logged out of EA+ PS4's internet turned off - let's say 30hrs offline). I think it helped the screen jutter issue considerably, actually. Unfortunately, though, all my banter/sound issues in my initial save game happened while the console was completely offline. Interestingly, when I started this new game save with the console offline, I don't think I had any screen jutter at all in the prologue - and it had been such a mess the first time around.
I've only gotten to put another thirty minutes in the newer save I was testing - the music/combat dialogue is still working 100% for the Hinterlands. (Nothing for Val Royeux.) There really and truly should be music playing every 1.30 mins in the Hinterlands, quite often even more frequently than that if you're lucky. Music seems to play every time one teleports to a camp, too. Bantering still isn't remotely working properly, but mucking with the audio gave me 2xSera/Solas.
I don't think I've had an belated question completion issues, but will definitely give codex a go. It'd be wonderful if it worked.

don't blame you 
going to do some more testing in ~10 minutes, try another hour of wandering around the hinterlands and see what happens. i was just in the exalted plains with my other character and while i got two banters in ~15 minutes, there was maybe one instance of music.
Tested everything AGAIN, I got another banter (Solas & Cass)! And it cut mid-through, again! I think I'm sticking to going from mildly annoyed to incredibly annoyed to exasperated to just plain sad about this all.
is this why the game feels so empty? now that i think about it, i've never heard music...
i started a new game to try out mage, varric talked to me, then solas asked a question that needed player input for a response but the wheel bugged and went away when i tried to click an answer, that was about an hour ago now and i haven't heard anything else
Well… we’ve spent hours batting at things in the dark without any idea how the system actually works. A bug flipping the banter switch to off, if you will, does not mean that there must be a way to flip it back on for us as players (or even avoiding it in the first place).
For someone who can see the code, it can literally be a matter of changing one single letter. (It won’t be, but…)
But, we already have confirmation that it's not that simple from Allan Schumacher. As well, since nobody seems to have any idea as to what even causes the bug, we're pretty much in the same bout as the devs are. I'm HOPING that no ambient music in VR is indicitave of the banter bug, as that is far easier to test than what appears to be a random timer. Has anyone had ambient music in Val Royeaux but not had companion banter (which I am going to generously define here as averaging one banter per two hours of 'party' play time)?
As well, I believe that the problem seems to be save game based (again, assuming that no ambient music corralates to banter problems, which is perhaps a big assumption). To confirm, I'd be very happy if someone who does not feel they've ever had any issues were to download this save and let me know if it plays music for them.

welcome to the club. we could make tshirts. 'i survived the party banter glitch of 2k14'
or maybe that's a bit premature.
tried this account-setting and clearing codex-entries and journal-thingy, saved, closed game, reopened, fast travelled to the hissing wastes and just ran around from camp to camp and back again.
Results: 3 banters (Iron Bull-Dorian, Dorian-Blackwall, Blackwall-Iron Bull), 2 comments on the environment in about 30-40minutes, the first two fired relatively fast, the last one took some time.
Will change from hissing wastes to some other area now. Really, i won't play any further until this is fixed, or even start all over with the same char.
Hey everyone, please see this post in news and announcements with regards to party banter.
In other words, we're screwed.

My thoughts exactly.

You are so full of ****.
Hey everyone, please see this post in news and announcements with regards to party banter.
Well this is... slightly heartbreaking...
I checked off journal and codex entries and switched off connection settings and.... boom ! First fight --> I had some combat sounds I didn't hear before. However, in first sound seemed a bit distracted. After then, shortly, small banter between Cassandra and Dorian.
And there was music in Val Royeaux.... after then no banter though, but it seems the things you guys mentioned really affect the game somehow!.....
