Audio Sync Problems in Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 2

Question

So I have had an audio sync problem in both of these games, where it takes 1 to 2 seconds for a character to say the first word and then they are cut off at the last sentence like they didnt say what they were going to say in the complete sentence. I run on a 165hz monitor, an RTX 2060, Intel i7 and I have looked all over the place for a fix. I hope this can be patched soon or if there is a solution some how to this problem. The audio mainly goes out of sync to the animation of the scenes, any help is appreciated and I hope this can be patched.

@Carcino86 Didn't had any problems but I generate them for testing purpose. Disabling Dolby Audio always result on sync lost in my case (disable from windows audio drivers - there is nothing related in game settings).
I hope that helps.

@sweetpoison0011 All I have that is considered surround sound is Razer 7.1 surround sound. Thats the only thing I have and I have no Dolby Audio, which is odd. But I can try it and maybe update, other wise idk what else to do.

@Carcino86 Unfortunately I can't help here. My experience limits to the use of USB headset which had the nasty habit to disable the hardware acceleration from audio card (onbloard) and Bluetooth headset which comes with 1 sec delay on my machine making gaming and video play unbearable.
It is possible that your Razer 7.1 force the machine to use only software decoding hence the problems.
Sorry if I can't help you more. Yet, when I go home I will run further tests and come back to you if I get new info.

@sweetpoison0011 Much appreciated, I sadly got the issue again. I hope a patch can help with this, or I have to do something on my end.

@Carcino86 Original ME1 had the option to switch between software/hardware/eax. Not LE though and I assume by default is set to use hardware acceleration.
