+### Audio Fix: Missing Voiceovers
+Fixed a significant issue where in-game voiceovers (like "You are victorious" or General Challenge taunts) were not playing, especially during late-game or heavy combat scenarios. 
+The issue stemmed from two places:
+1. **OpenAL and MiniAudio priority leaks:** When the maximum sample limits were hit (e.g., 64 2D sounds), the game would correctly attempt to cull lower priority sounds. However, `OpenALAudioManager` and `MiniAudioManager` were missing the logic to set the `handleToKill` inside `isPlayingLowerPriority()`. This resulted in the engines continuously generating new hardware sources without freeing older ones, eventually exhausting all physical sources (usually 256) and silently dropping new sounds.
+2. **MiniAudio incorrect limits:** `MiniAudioManager::getNumAvailable2DSamples` was calculating available 2D samples against the size of the *entire* `m_playingSounds` list (which in MiniAudio includes 3D sounds and Streams/Music). This effectively kept the available samples at 0 at all times, making it always fall back to the broken priority handling.
+
+Both issues have been resolved by adding proper counting filters in MiniAudio and uncommenting `event->setHandleToKill` in both audio managers' priority checks.
