I do get a "sense" of the actions going on, and imagine (audiolize?) the quality of the voices, but I don't hear individual words, or parse individual descriptions, most of the time.
And then there's nonfiction; often nothing to visualize. Absorbing concepts instead of character activity seems to go a bit slower, but I'm never sure if that's just because nonfic tends to have more densely-written text; it's possible I'd read novels that averaged 200-word paragraphs slowly.

Pretty much the same here. I'm a bit amused at how much many folks rely on the crutch of imagination while simultaneously talking of "good readers" and "poor readers".
