    Hi @KindisSweet

    Try this:

    - Go to your ">drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect\Binaries" folder.

    - Rename the "OpenAL32.dll" to "OpenAL32.bak" (without the quotes)

    - Rename the "wrap_oal.dll" to "OpenAL32.dll" (without the quotes)


    - Run the Game from the "MassEffect.exe" in the same folder as an Administrator (right click the "MassEffect.exe" > Run as Admin)
