ME1 Legendary Edition surround sound also not working for me on PC. All dialogue comes from left and right front speakers for me, while center channel speaker is silent. AV receiver confirms it is receiving 5.1 channel PCM audio from the PC, so the game must just not be sending the appropriate sounds on each channel. Audio is being sent from PC over HDMI from a Radeon Vega56.
Here is a bit of a workaround for those who have issues with volume levels such as quiet dialog during gameplay vs REALLY LOUD gunfire. Look through your A/V receiver, soundbar, and/or TV’s audio settings for a “Dynamic Range” setting (although it could be named something different, such as “listening environment”). Set it for minimum dynamic range or “night time” mode (again, might go by a different name on your device). This will reduce the volume difference between quiet and loud sounds.
again, not a real fix, but it might help some people. Good luck.
It’s pretty disgusting the lack of acknowledgment for the sound issues. I genuinely now believe it’s not going to get fixed we’ve been ignored and probably best to just move on and never pre order another EA game day one. Or at least wait and find out if there are bugs that will ruin it for you are present
lesson learned for me.
!! ATTENTION EVERYONE !!
Even if you live in the US, if you’ve never tried to ask Sony for a REFUND before, they will give you a ONE-TIME EXCEPTION.
Yes, this means most of not all of you, and refund this game if you bought it digitally.
Please know going forward to never, ever pre-order another EA game again (most games actually). They have ignored us for weeks over the surround sound issues, and the only thing that will make them learn going forward is asking for your had earned money back.
