Mass Effect Legendary Edition How to Fix Surround Sound in ME1

Posted on May 15, 2021
For Mass Effect Legendary Edition players, since Bioware again shipped some broken, old OpenAL32.dll where surround is not working properly here are steps to fix it

Steps

1. Download openal soft from https://openal-soft.org
2. 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
3. Delete OpenAL32.dll from binaries in game directory
4. 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 Edition\Game\ME1\BioGame\Config, make it read-only so game doesn’t override it. There should be already section like ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice so put it there

5. Run alsoft-config.exe from openal-soft-{version}-bin\alsoft-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
6. (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
front-stablizer – mixes sound from left and right channel to center
7. Just run a game, you should have surround sound working fine now
8. If it doesn’t work try restarting your PC
9. Also it might work if you replace dll only in a binaries folder – but i didn’t try it
