No 5.1 Sound in Mass Effect 3 with Dolby Digital Live

Hello all,

i can not get surround sound working in Mass Effect 3. I am using an Onboard Realtek Soundcard with enabled Dolby Digital Live.

I get sound out of the center and the front left and right speaker, but the rear speaker are completly off.

In all other games, surround sound is working fine. Also in the newest ME Andromeda, it works perfectly.

Are there any options i can set. Is there a way to force 5.1 Sound in gamersettings.ini or something like that?

One additional strange thing is: In the Systeminformations utility from ME3, under the audio tab, a 7.1 Surround Sound Configuration is displayed.

With Dolby Digital Live, you can not set the speaker configuration. You choose DDL 5.1 as standardformat and thats it and as i said - in all other games it is working.

Hope someone can help me... playing in stereo is way less immersive for me ☹️.

Greetings,

Michael
