Fun story, I was testing the Val Royeaux fix (I had already tested while connected and it had worked, but not for banter so I was testing it offline), fast traveled to the Emerald graves, got sidetracked closing a Rift and suddenly, Val Royeaux music starts, out of the blue, without any prompting.
I don't know what to think anymore.
(oh, and no banter for me yet)
I had the same thing happen to me after closing the first emerald graves rift

I think that is part of the music for Emerald graves.
There must be something else going on here. I made claims before that i've heard the Val R. music but it's probably I had a quest then fast traveled there through war room. But even without trying the fixes mentioned here, I am not encountering the sound issues everyone else encountered. So there must be something causing the sound issues.
This glitch has left me torned.
I really don't want to keep playing this game, knowing how much I'm missing out and running around for hours in silence, not to mention the other bugs I had, but I doubt there'll be any proper patch before 2015, and with GTA 5 and the Witcher 3 coming out in late January/February, giving up on the game now may actually mean a 4-5 month break.
Offline and fast traveled from War table to Emprise du Lion since I don't have VR in my fast travel options ( 
..anyone know why?). I've gotten a few banters while playing, need to test this longer to see if it has actually worked (music has been working fine since I reinstalled my audio drivers).
I'm going to give it a try later on.
Well, tried the offline mode. Result: First game crash ever after about 20 hours. So yeah, not going to try that again any time soon...

VR isn't accessible from the war table any time after the story mission there. Kinda emphasizes how minor a role it plays that you can't even select it from there, haha.
Oh I see. Well I've gotten 3 banters in 25 minutes + some one liners from Varric so this looks promising so far. Hopefully it's not just some amazing luck.
Someone tell Bioware to hire @Jeffzero to handle their public relations from now on. Thank you so much for compiling everything here for all of us to review on the first page. You and everyone else on this thread are my favorite people.
Hey guys, long time lurker on this thread and I just wanted to thank everybody taking the time to test all these solutions and keep with it 
Hopefully the devs will come up with something soon, but in the mean time you're all doing a great job of keeping the DA party banter dream alive

I posted earlier on disconnecting the console from the internet, and unchecking the accounts in the game's main menu. I really thought that it was a permanent fix. I got lots of music and banter on the Storm Coast. It was wonderful! My character never joined in but Blackwall and Iron Bull chatted away. Then I went to Haven and there was music there! And from Haven to the Hinterlands and it was back to just snippets of music, aside from the intense war drums in some locations. *SIGH*
Please, Maker, let Bioware find the error and come up with a fix...

Did you fast travel to the Hinterlands from the war room?
Did you fast travel to the Hinterlands from the war room?
No. I used the Quest Map.
I guess I have to try the fix again and fast travel via the war room.
I think i kind of figured out where my banter breaks.
Last night i made a new character because i was having absolutely no party banter. I got to the hinterlands and did the stuff in Val Royleux, and i was having a fair amount of back and forth between the different characthers.
When i started playing today, i had a bunch of banter, but that all completely stopped after i got blackwall, and immediately added him to my party (replaced cassandra). From that point on i have heard no party banter at all, the storm coast and hinterlands are quiet as hell. Even when you go see the giant and dragon flying i seem to recall someone saying something, but nope they said nothing.
So i reloaded my save game, avoided recruiting blackwall and i had a fair amount of banter. I go to the storm coast and recruit iron bull, i don't add him immediately to my party, and what do you know i am having constant banter throughout this entire region.
So i just decided to try and test something, i saved in haven. When to the hinterlands and recruited blackwall and immediately added him to my party, while i cooked lunch (~20 minutes) i let my guys just stand there, and had absolutely no banter. I reloaded my save and recruited blackwall and did not add him to my party immediately. While i did the dishes what do you know Cassandra and Sera are talking.
Might be specific to you or a coincedence? I do not have Blackwall on any of my saves and have the glitch. Also, before acquiring Iron Bull, Vivienne, or Sera. I doubt it's companion-linked, but every lead counts!I think i kind of figured out where my banter breaks.

The war room-travel thing fixed my music to a certain extent. I was in the Emeral Graves and had background music there. Even some combat music. People yelled stuff during combat. Then I went to Val R., and had music there as well. Skyhold, I had the war room drums.
Banter was weird, I had two in my two hours of playing (I primarily did the Emerald Knights dungeon. And the ghost house). One was after fast-travelling to camp and was cut off mid-sentence (the one time Cass talks to Solas and half her sentence is gone). After running around for an hour, I got another one when leaving Fairbank's camp (Varric and Cass). Not cut of this time.
So music is kinda fixed by travelling through the war table, banter is not there yet. I also kept my journal and codex clean, so I am still not sure what is related and what not. I hope I will get more out of Solas in the Arbor Wilds.
I have a question for all my fellow unfortunate owners of the game with the glitch: Does your character banter with the party members, and does the dialouge wheel that sometimes pop up during quest-related banter highlights?
My character never says anything outside talking to the characters in Haven, cut-scenes and quest-NPC's. And the dialouge wheel that appears when you first arrive in Val R, outside Redcliff after having closed the rift and inside Redcliff's tavern never highlights no matter what I do.

my character has never bantered with a party member outside of those set areas you mentioned above. however, my dialogue wheel does highlight on those occasions.

Well lets put it this way, since i have no idea why but music in Val Royleux seems to be some sort of indication of the bug.
I don't recruit blackwall -> I get music in val royleux
I recruit blackwall and don't add him to my party -> i get music in val royleux
i recruit blackwall and immediately add him to my party -> i get no music in val royleux
The same thing seems to apply to iron bull, I travel to the storm coast:
i recruit iron bull and immediately add him to my party -> i get no music in val royleux
i recruit iron bull and don't add him to my party -> i get music in val royleux
Etherway i want this bug fixed 
I switched on AMD Mantle, didn't do much for banter (now up to 30 min silence) but music and general audio has improved tremendously. Sparse combat music, but combat dialogue is constant.
This keeps getting weirder and weirder every day. I also ran into the lovely Dorian bug. Ugh.
Tried it on PS4. i have two saves: one in Skyhold, one still in Haven. As someone mentioned earlier, travelling from the War Table in Haven seemed to have no effect. On that save I got no banter in an hour of exploring. On my other save where I travelled from the War Table in Skyhold I had 3 banters, 1 environmental banter and an environmental one-liner in 45 minutes, which is really good for me.
I also had the codex/journal/inventory cleared on both saves and had all the Account settings unchecked. About disconnecting from Origin on PS4: it seems to work best if you uncheck all the Account settings in the options and then quit the game entirely (go PS home screen, highlight the game tab, press the options controller button and then click Close Application) then restart the game. You'll get a couple of notices about "Enumerating save files", but don't worry, all is well.
The game did seem a bit less stable: bad sound lag when using abilities, slower frame rate and once had about 20 seconds of really bad pop-in when loading a save. But having regular banter makes the game so much better, so overall worth it to me. Thanks so much to everyone on the thread, will test out more tomorrow.
This is one weird bug, or several bugs all working together messing with us...
I wonder if the game would un-bug if I installed it on a different console or PC. Has anyone tried that?
