Subtitles

Enable simultaneous in-game audio and subtitles^{[citation needed]}

Edit <path-to-game>\RESOURCE.CFG.
Add audioSize = 0K to the bottom of the file.
Save and close the file.
Run the game.
When shown the opening menu, choose to start a new game.
Save the game you just started.
Exit the game.
Edit <path-to-game>\RESOURCE.CFG again.
Remove audioSize = 0K from the file.
Save and close the file.

Notes

If you want subtitles without audio, follow the fix up to Step 3

Subtitles do not always display correctly

Not working on my end. If I load the save game of step 3, audio effects/voices are missing while subtitles are displayed. If I start a new game, audio/voices are present but subtitles are missing.
