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...

@CarvapercI'd like to add that surround is working, but my problem is mostly with conversations. When you talk with someone, almost all the vocal sounds comes from rear speakers. I did try playing without rear speakers and I did hear all the sounds coming normally out from other speakers. Oh and I use AV amplifier, 7.1 ch, Linear PCM.

How did you get surround to work at all? The game only outputs stereo.

@StarWarDude44 I don't know, it just works. I have no problems when running around, only when talking with NPCs rear speakers blasts vocals almost double louder than front speakers/speaker, and gun sounds come out from rear speakers too.

  @Carvaperc Exactly... ingame sound is in surround and works fine. Turning the camera around when npc's are talking to each other for example...
