Oversensitive Controls: Xbox Controller or Game bug?

I can't remember at all if this was something that would happen in the old trilogy but for the 10 mins I've played ME1--I'm playing on Xbox One X--I have noticed a rather annoying issue where I'm not even touching anything and yet Shepard starts walking around randomly without prompt.

This has happened a few times throughout the time I was playing. I go into a conversation and sometimes the cursor over the dialogue options also auto moves before I've done anything to prompt it. I go into the journal and then the sound that plays when you can't scroll any higher starts playing on repeat as if I'm holding the up button and I'm not. So I have no idea if this is my controller having issues or if this is a bug in the game. I plan to check this out on another console/controller to see but for now I have no idea what's going on.

An actual bug I came across though was an audio bug on Eden Prime. When Nihlus comes across Saren, his audio cuts out.

    We have seen some reports of strange issues around controls. A fairly common factor is non-controllers (like joysticks) being picked up by the game. Disconnecting any unnecessary USB devices might help with troubleshooting this, if that's a factor for you.

    My controller is wireless and has nothing attached to it. So I don't think that is a resolution for me.

    Hi David,

    I currently play Mass Effect Andromeda via the latest EA App and Xbox One controller, and it seems that the issue is still persistant. The controller itself is connected via my Laptop's internal Bluetooth adapter (no additional USB dongles plugged in). Can you eventually recheck on this issue, please?

    Most of the time such issues occurring because a second input device is interfering no matter the connection.  
    This also could be a mouse, a drawing pad, really about any input device possible. 
    Do you have such devices connected wile you play?

    Did you tried to connect the Xbox One controller via USB to see if it makes a difference?
