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...

I fix the sound problem on my Mass Effect 1 in PS5, turning on the 3D audio on PS5 settings.

This works for me, I hope that works for you too

Not exactly relevant. 3D audio is only compatible with headsets or tv speakers currently. This issue affects anyone with a surround system, aka. 5.1 or more speakers.

This is the 4th game I play that has the same wonky surround sound and all of use Audiokenetic's WWise audio engine. You have to downgrade to stereo and let your receiver upmix. Other games include Psychonauts 2, Kena: Bridge of Spirits, and Elden Ring.

  Just purchased the game and I have the issue
  Voice from back speaker only and gun sounds way too loud.
  So sad that basic 5.1 can't be implemented correct nor fixed more than a year after the release
