"Game breaking" and "Important to my game playing experience" are two distinct things. I agree it needs fixed but it didn't cause me to not be able to complete ME1. If you set your AVR to "stereo surround", you still hear everything.
I should add that the sound is much better in ME2 and ME3 in terms of the surround mix.
Disappointing that they didn't get this into 1.03.
Judging by the radio silence on the top-voted thread in the forum... I doubt they're going to fix this.
A serious bummer. At least they could acknowledge the hopelessness and disable the surround mix in ME1 so I don't have to switch my PS5 settings back and forth (my Sonos Arc doesn't let me downmix). I've been holding out for a patch but am ready to give up.
Glad to hear ME2/3 don't have the same problem though. Pretty disappointing but ah well.

I am still experiencing this issue as of the June 7 patch. I also verified that this issue is not present in ME2 or ME3.

At this point an option to have the game just use stereo would be about as much as I'd expect and I'd be fine with that. I'm tired of switching my PS5's settings back and forth because downmixing on my audio device takes even longer to enable/disable.

@GiolonWhat a joke it’s not fixed yet. Why don’t they just admit there’s an issue and say it’ll take a while to fix? My guess is that it can’t be fixed without some sort of massive overhaul and they don’t want to pay for that. Really glad I got a refund when I did.

Just posting again to ask for an update - even a "we are not going to fix this" would be enough. I understand that it's hard to balance technical problems, project timelines and also a community demanding stuff from you but like, some bare minimum communication would be appreciated here.

Yeah... Please... I'd like to have some feedback regarding the problem.

I literally can't believe this hasn't been fixed. I just bought this and started playing it and this has been driving me nuts. I wish I'd bought this digitally so I could refund it, it's an absolute joke; it's been out 6 months and no fix.... Tho I guess given BF2077, I should be glad this game runs at all

Should have seen this befor I bought the game. First time playing ME 1. I have to say it's not a good first impression. I wish thay would fix it but after all this time I'm not holding my breath.
