Can't shoot in single or multiplayer!!

the problem occured by the 5th round of a bronze multiplayer campaign, started by losing the sound ingame so it wass all silence for about 2 or 3 rounds then the sound decided to return, but without the background noises on the map i could only hear the recharging and weapon shooting sounds, still able to shoot. Once finished the campaign and into the next game NO SHOOTING!!
I have already tried with no results: 
No.1 repair install
No.2 Uninstall game
No.3 Re-install game
No.4 do the repair again
No.5 manually uninstall (clean registry)
No.6 Reinstall
No.7 the dxdiag text and update of drivers
No.8 remove head phones
No.9 The clean boot

As suggested from ea help/advice  service.

Hopefully u're not going to suggest reinstall Operating System wich is the only thing i haven't tried by now or to uninstall for the 3rd/4th time and try to download from origin for the next 2 days the whole game.

Operating System OK

Hardware OK

If anybody has any ideea pls post/answer although i think i'm affraid i'm going to have to reinstall the OS

    I'm not sure of the cause, but your profile may be messed up and your process looks like it wouldn't have cleaned it up.

    Try removing your Mass Effect 3 directory from your Documents folder (Just rename it).

    Then launch a Mass Effect 3, it will detect it missing and restore defaults.  All of your single player data will be gone (Unless you have cloud enabled, then you still might not have reset it, maybe disable cloud before starting Mass Effect 3)

    Try creating a new game and progress from there until you can (try) to shoot.

    If successfully copy saves and stuff back over, or revert to your original folder and try to fix it.

    That is the nuclear option.

    A quicker and more prudent, once Mass Effect 3 has launched, go to:

    Extras -> Options -> Key Binding -> Reset to Default
