ME1 audio issue - dialog & sfx in surrounds instead of center

Mass Effect 1 dialog and sfx audio is coming from the rear/surround speakers instead of the center channel, meaning that conversations, weapons fire etc are all coming from behind the player instead...

@garionorb Can I check on your exact audio setup? If you have details of your PS5's audio settings that might help too. 

@bentl78 Hey, do you happen to have a link to any specific Reddit posts reporting this. Every bit of info helps. 

Thanks.

Got the same issue. My PS5 is set up for 7.1 with Dolby but all conversations are coming from my surround speakers instead of the center one. Out of conversations, some speeches do come from the center speaker though

    Same issue, running on  Logitech Z5500 via optical direct input from my TV from my PS5.

    I am playing on PC. While surround sound works in the both ME2 and ME3, surround sound does not work in ME1

    I can't get anything to work except stereo audio. Don't get anything in my surround speakers or center.

    @Trarloe confirmed I have the same issue on my 5.1.4 setup. At first I thought it was an issue with my setup but I put in Horizon zero dawn/ Ratchet & Clank and it upscaled appropriately. So pretty sure it’s an issue with the game.
