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...

Same here. PS5 connected to tv through Onkyo RZ 730 receiver with 5.1 speakers setup in LPCM mode. Dialogue sounds in cutscenes are coming from the rear speakers instead of center. That's certainly a bug and quite an annoying one.

    I can confirm.

    PS4> HDMI > PHILIPS 43PUS6401/12 > OPTICAL > YMAHA RX 540

    Voices during conversations and shots during combat comes from rear columns.

      I'm having the same issue with the first game but haven't tried 2 or 3.  I'm playing on a PS5 with an Anthem 720avr and  a Dolby Atmos setup.  If I set it to Atmos it plays through my high speakers and if I set it to surround it plays through the side. I've tried prioritizing Dolby, DTS or Linear PCM on the PS5 and there's no change with any of them.
