A guide on how to fix surround sound (step by step) in Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

The.ini files that hold the listed parameters can be found at (on Windows XP systems): My Documents BioWare Mass Effect Config. Make sure to take note of the individual files ('BIOEngine.ini' and 'BIOGame.ini') and categories ('Engine.GameEngine,' ' D3DDrv.D3DRenderDevice,' etc) as various entries app ear multiple times in the folder. MEUITM BIOEngine.ini help. X: Users xxx Documents BioWare Mass Effect Config. Note any typos will break the game and cause crashes so be careful here. All mistakes can be fixed but if you avoid typos it will save a headache in the long run. Find the following 3 entries. Download openal soft from 2. Put file from Win32/softoal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/SysWOW64 and file from Win64/softoal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/system32, override if necessary. Delete OpenAL32.dll from binaries in game directory. Put this: To BIOEngine.ini in config directory in path like Mass.

How to Fix Surround Sound (Step by Step)

Because Bioware again shipped some broken, old OpenAL32.dll where surround is not working properly here are steps to fix it.

Download Openal Soft from https://openal-soft.org
Put file from Win32/soft_oal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/SysWOW64 and file from Win64/soft_oal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/system32, override if necessary.
Delete OpenAL32.dll from binaries in game directory.
Put this:

[ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice]
MaxChannels=128
UseEffectsProcessing=True
TimeBetweenHWUpdates=15
MinOggVorbisDurationGame=20
MinOggVorbisDurationEditor=4
DeviceName=
ReserveChannels=2
TotalAvailableChannels=128
UseEffectsProcessing=True

To BIOEngine.ini in config directory in path like Mass Effect Legendary EditionGameME1BioGameConfig, make it read-only so game doesn’t override it. There should be already section like ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice so put it there.

Run alsoft-config.exe from openal-soft-{version}-binalsoft-config and set your desired channels – in my case it’s 7.1 and click apply, you can try other options, whatever seem to be better for you.
(Optionally) go to %appdata%, there should be file alsoft.ini and you can try adding two options there.

volume-adjust = 6
front-stablizer=true

Volume-Adjust increases overall sound volume -24 to 24 and Front-Stablizer mixes sound from left and right channel to center.

Just run a game, you should have surround sound working fine now.
If it doesn’t work try restarting your PC.
Also it might work if you replace dll only in a binaries folder – but i didn’t try it.
