Re: BUG: Dialogue audio cuts off sometimes

So I got impatient waiting for any response from EA about the dialogue issue, and decided to toy around, I reinstalled the game but did a few things differently and now I haven't been able to recreate the bug. I played for several hours last night and it has yet to happen. 

When I first installed a couple weeks ago:

Set External Hard drive as game location

Inserted disc 1, installed Mass Effect 1 AND had it download the update simultaneously

Downloaded Mass Effect 2 and 3, which ignored Disc 2

Would play game by clicking "Resume" from the LE Main menu  launcher

Because of bug:
Deleted ME:LE from my XBox One X

This time:
Set The XBox One X as the game location
Turned internet off, so the update would not prompt and I could fully use installation discs

Inserted Disc 1, Installed Mass Effect 1 and half of 2

Inserted Disc 2 when prompted, downloaded remainder of Mass Effect 2 and 3

Reinserted Disc 1 when prompted

Once complete, turned internet back on, and downloaded update

Click Start Game from launcher, and then Resume once on the Mass Effect 1 original menu

Haven't noticed the dialogue cut off bug at all since. Characters still sometimes seem more quiet than others. I went through multiple save files to different parts of the story, no dialogue cut off. Kaidan, who used to be one of the people the dialogue would always cut off for, is able to finish his sentences- though now it strangely looks like he is rolling his eyes in annoyance when Shepard approaches. I haven't touched 2 or 3 yet, so no idea if that helps those dialogue issues. 

I have no idea which part of this was the fix, and it took 3 hours for the game to reinstall and update (don't know why it takes so long, installing from disc) but I suspect that it has something to do with trying to update while installing? Either way, this shouldn't be a proper fix as its unrealistic for every person to have to do this, and an actual update hopefully comes soon.
