I can confirm this bug too. Dialogue is often cut short by whole sentences and is quite evident that it is happening because the subtitles still continue.
So I add my voice for this bug to be fixed in the next update.
(playing on PS4)
Thank you.
Yep, playing on Xbox one. Dialogue cuts off at the end of sentences but the subtitles continue
Yep. Same here on Xbox one x
Or that some dialogue is barely audible. I am already hearing compromised (I wear hearing aids) and I use captioning, but the captioning doesn't get use for non-controlled dialogue (can't remember what that dialogue type is called). This seems to happen during this type of dialogue mostly . I noticed this throughout ME1.

So I got impatient waiting for any response from EA about the dialogue issue, and decided to toy around, I reinstalled the game but did a few things differently and now I haven't been able to recreate the bug. I played for several hours last night and it has yet to happen.
When I first installed a couple weeks ago:
Set External Hard drive as game location
Inserted disc 1, installed Mass Effect 1 AND had it download the update simultaneously
Downloaded Mass Effect 2 and 3, which ignored Disc 2
Would play game by clicking "Resume" from the LE Main menu launcher
Because of bug:
Deleted ME:LE from my XBox One XThis time:
Set The XBox One X as the game location
Turned internet off, so the update would not prompt and I could fully use installation discsInserted Disc 1, Installed Mass Effect 1 and half of 2
Inserted Disc 2 when prompted, downloaded remainder of Mass Effect 2 and 3
Reinserted Disc 1 when prompted
Once complete, turned internet back on, and downloaded update
Click Start Game from launcher, and then Resume once on the Mass Effect 1 original menu
Haven't noticed the dialogue cut off bug at all since. Characters still sometimes seem more quiet than others. I went through multiple save files to different parts of the story, no dialogue cut off. Kaidan, who used to be one of the people the dialogue would always cut off for, is able to finish his sentences- though now it strangely looks like he is rolling his eyes in annoyance when Shepard approaches. I haven't touched 2 or 3 yet, so no idea if that helps those dialogue issues.I have no idea which part of this was the fix, and it took 3 hours for the game to reinstall and update (don't know why it takes so long, installing from disc) but I suspect that it has something to do with trying to update while installing? Either way, this shouldn't be a proper fix as its unrealistic for every person to have to do this, and an actual update hopefully comes soon.
I too have been experiencing this throughout ME1 and ME2 @EA_Atic . I haven't tried ME3 Legednary since I'm not there yet. But throughout the game missions: Feros, Noveria, Virmire and Liara's Dig Site mission, I've seen this happen multiple times. I'm on the PC Steam.
Playing on PC. Did not have this issue at all in ME1 as far as I can recall but it's happening regularly in ME2. I did not start ME2 until after the first big patch came out, if that matters at all.
Sometimes the dialogue and mouth movements match up - when that happens, no issue. However they regularly start out of sync, and it just moves on to the next character when the mouth flapping ends and cuts the spoken dialogue off.

Hello? This is still happening at least on Xbox one X and it’s been over a month. This is not a user issue it is a bug with the game and is severely hampering the experience for some of these in game moments.It doesn’t happen for me anymore, but I did encounter one new problem when on my mission to retrieve Liara. Audio completely cut out in the midst of a firefight, but get this…if I went into the menus it was fine.
I’m sick of having to come across this * in every god damn game now. I miss the old days when we had cartridges. No game updates needed because they actually had to make sure everything was fine. Nowadays this whole attitude of “it’s fine we’ll patch it later” just speaks to how they don’t care anymore.
