Re: Dialogue voices sound weird

@Mettsoldat

Rename the "MassEffect2.exe" to "MassEffect2Launcher.exe"

Rename the "ME2Game.exe" to "MassEffect2.exe"

Now the game should start over Origin again.

As for the sound issue, try to set the sample rate to 48000 on the headset and both devices to 16 bit depth. (DVD quality) > test.

    Alright, the renaming thing seems to have worked.

    FXSE doesn't have 16 bit, only 24. I set the headset on 48000 16 bit, which resulted in a constant pervasive static, all sounds becoming extremely distorted and all voices turning into the deep voice of some demonic overlord. Alright, thanks for the nightmare fuel. ;D

    Setting both to 48000 24 bit produces normal sound, although still with the tin can voices.

    Well, here you get sound FX without any mods or applications. 😉

    But seriously, that your sound system is producing such distortions at completely standardised settings is odd.

    I am not a big fan of software like the "FxSound Enhancer" simply because it is very complicated to say what they change inside the system and if this changes interfere even if the application is not active.

    Please preform a clean boot and test the Game afterwards.

    I assume you tester the sound on a ME2 vanilla Installation before you installed any mods or changed any ini settings?

    Your headset is plugged to the computer via audio jack? (What I saw about that headset it should be that way.)

    Please create a DxDiag in text file format and post it with your next reply. You can do that  with the "choose file" button at the bottom right corner of the reply window.
