Dialogue voices sound weird

    Rename the "MassEffect2.exe" to "MassEffect2Launcher.exe"

    Rename the "ME2Game.exe" to "MassEffect2.exe"

    Now the game should start over Origin again.

    As for the sound issue, try to set the sample rate to 48000 on the headset and both devices to 16 bit depth. (DVD quality) > test.

What type of sound hardware do you have? 

Is it possible that an upmix function or an sound improvement filter is set inside the Sound-driver?

    I have the Tritton Pro+ 5.1. I'm also using FxSound Enhancer. It was working correctly with that before, and if I turn it off, the tin can voices are still there, in addition to all other sounds sounding like аss.

      And your sound card?

      What kind of sample rate and bit depth do you use? 

      You did tried a game repair? (I know, you installed fresh, but try it anyway if you didn't yet.)

        The sound card's on-board, device manager just says "NVIDIA High Definition Audio". My headset uses 192000 Hz and DFX uses 48000 Hz @ 24 bit (with DFX probably overriding the headset since it's set as Default Device).

        When I do a repair it says "DirectX Setup Error: An internal error occurred.". It also doesn't start the game anymore, even after applying ME2IniFixer.
