Playing the Mass Effect 1 PS4 version (on PS5) and all dialogue and sound effects are coming from the rear channels. Dialogue should be coming from the center channel. This is highly distracting and breaks immersion. Please fix asap.
Same here.. read on Reddit with quite a couple people having the same issue please fix this ASAP
Community Admin@garionorb Can I check on your exact audio setup? If you have details of your PS5's audio settings that might help too.
@bentl78 Hey, do you happen to have a link to any specific Reddit posts reporting this. Every bit of info helps.
Thanks.

@EA_David I use a Sony receiver, STR-DN1060, connected from my TV using an optical cable. Standard 5.1 surround speaker setup. PS5 connected to the TV with the included HDMI cable. Audio settings on the PS5 is set to "Dolby". This works for all games and movies/TV except this game.
On 7.1 dialogue is coming from rear surround. Temporary fix is to turn your receiver settings to stereo. Doesn’t matter what PS5 settings are changed: LPCM, Dolby or DTS.
Same issue here. Playing on PS5 with an LG sound bar paired with rear speakers to make 5.1. Connected via arc. Faint dialogue audio and the music comes from front left and front right channels but all sound effects and dialogue audio is coming out from the rear speakers at full volume. Centre channel isn't being used for anything. Tried lpcm, dts and Dolby and are all the same. Only happening with this game works fine in hundreds of others.
Hello
the Reddit post is on
theres quite a bit of comments on the threat but the original user was
sephirossgeller
my setup is
ps5 to Samsung q9fn via hdmi
arc to onkyo to-nr686
Same issue here, ps5, 7.1 channels, Sonos sound system, Dolby output
Got the same issue. My PS5 is set up for 7.1 with Dolby but all conversations are coming from my surround speakers instead of the center one. Out of conversations, some speeches do come from the center speaker though
Same issue, running on Logitech Z5500 via optical direct input from my TV from my PS5.
I'm having the same issue. PS5, 5.1, Denon S650 receiver, HDMI ARC connection.
Same problem here, at least I'm not alone with this. I'm using 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos setup from Samsung. PS5 > sound bar > Philips hue syncbox > Sony Bravia TV. First game to have this problem.
@CarvapercI'd like to add that surround is working, but my problem is mostly with conversations. When you talk with someone, almost all the vocal sounds comes from rear speakers. I did try playing without rear speakers and I did hear all the sounds coming normally out from other speakers. Oh and I use AV amplifier, 7.1 ch, Linear PCM.
There are quite a few posts about this on the mass effect subreddit--
I am playing on PC. While surround sound works in the both ME2 and ME3, surround sound does not work in ME1
I can't get anything to work except stereo audio. Don't get anything in my surround speakers or center.

How did you get surround to work at all? The game only outputs stereo.
Same issue. Ps5 to Sony x900h (HDMI 4) to Yamaha tsr700 via eArc. Ps5 set for PCM and receiver set for surround decode.
Same issue here. Playing on PS5 with a Sony X900H and Sony STR-DG710 Multi-Channel Receiver in 5.1 setup. Have tried multiple settings on the TV, receiver and PS5. Hope this gets patched. Not sure how this didn't get mentioned in any preview coverage for the past week.
@EA_DavidI have no audio coming from anything but the left and right channels (and sub) regardless of how I set my 7.1 AVR which is a Denon Avr-s730H. I am playing the EA Desktop/Origin version, using HDMI for everything, playing at 4k/60fps+HDR. I have an X-fi fatal1ty sound card, though I believe it is bypassed when running everything from the RTX 2070 Super to AVR via HDMI. I believe there may be something that can be done with an .ini file in the ME1 Config folder based on a fix for ME1 sound from 2014, a post I found on EAs forums like this.
As I type this, I can no longer open Mass Effect Legendary Edition on my PC anymore. I was going to see if surround worked on my 5.1 computer speakers hooked into my x-fi sound card, but now I get a message from EA Desktop saying there was a problem on EAs end, try again a little later. it won't open on Origin either. While trying to verify files with Origin, it thinks I have a file in use even though I don't. Now I have to troubleshoot shoot this so I can troubleshoot the audio issue. EA Desktop and Origin both really suck, I must conclude. Please try looking at the suggestions for editing the ME1 .ini file from 2014 elsewhere in the EA forums and seeing if any of it can be applied to this version.
Playing 5.1 on pc and the sound only comes out of the left and right channels.
@EA_David Pc connected to tv via DVI, tv to Onkyo amplifier via optical - stereo speakers. Doors do not sound like they are opening but when behind me I can hear them close, subtitles show up for npcs talking around me but unless I get right up on top of them I cannot hear them, gunshots are absurdly loud...the entire balance of the audio is off.
