For those on PC who want to disable the majority of SAM's voice prompts, here's a mod that does this:
Community AdminThanks for the feedback, I've seen some similar sentiment before.
While there's no workaround for now, hopefully some sort of switch or "SAM Intrusiveness" slider can be patched in later.
GOD YES PLEASE. I love Sam but these warnings are so annoying 60 hours in, lmao.
EA_David, the dev team is aware of this problem, correct? As it is, the singleplayer is completely unplayable for me anymore until a fix for this is found.
Does Bioware even see stuff in this forum? How do I bring this to their attention?
Bump. Have a reddit post on this topic.
https://www.reddit.com/r/masseffect/comments/61jcev/no_spoilers_amazing_gameexcept_one_of_the_most/
Two reddit topics in different mass effect forums https://www.reddit.com/r/MassEffectAndromeda/comments/60zb7j/make_sam_stop/
I say this means it needs to be done.
This is the official forum for BioWare tracking issues.
It's most likely to be picked up here.

Devs DO NOT read THESE forums, afaik.
_edit_
IF they do read these forums, they do not post.
A majority of their info comes from submitted tickets, and the tickets
that are deemed appropriate and that are escalated by EA tech support to the studio.
Community Admin@DeltaAgent26 Hey, I think you're mistaken there. Among others, QA check the posts here and will occasionally post. There are more ways to get info to BW than just the ticketing system.
Thanks again to everyone for the QoL feedback
Please add my voice to this old ticket. It needs to be changed ASAP. On planets with quickly changing temps it gets annoying and also in the way of the game since his warning can over ride party banter. Maybe change it so his warning is tied to the tutorial or help check mark in the options.
The only time it really bothers me ismif I am fighting or searching a camp near a lamp - in and out of the lamp radious is litterally one warning after the other.
When driving I like to know if ive moved into a not safe zone or from a lvl 1 to lvl 2 hazard for sure for when I jump out - so I can be prepped for life support dropping.
more than 3 month since report, what do developers do... SAM's warnings make the game unplayable! Voeld and Elaaden are a real ordeal to be explored! Please add an option to turn off SAM's warnings, It's getting more and more urgent!
Or tell me where are the audio files for SAM's warning, I'll replace it by empty audio files with the same name ...
Come on "unplayable". Yes, they are annoying and needs to be toned down but not turned off. I have on occasion been thankful for the warning "life support is critical".
For Elaaden I go straight for the Vault. No more heat warning.
For those on PC who want to disable the majority of SAM's voice prompts, here's a mod that does this:
It's been three years. Where is it.
The mod?
Still under the same link @Arasteele provided in this post.
Edit: Or in the Accepted solution of @Fred_vdp (Sorry... 😳 ) of this thread.
That mod may help with the PC edition... but it offers no assistance with the playstation version. Sometimes, SAM is too quiet when it comes to quest updates, but when it coms to environmental warnings he's too loud, making it impossible to hear the nearby NPCs, especially on the ice planet as mentioned where there are heaters everywhere.
As far as I'm aware, there's no means of modding the game on PS4, so the only way to fix it would be adding some means of lowering warning volume. Second best would be an on/off switch for them, but I'd prefer them to be a little on.
