Hey dudes!

Seems like ME got sick and needs your wisdom to get good&proper again!

What happens is, when i enter a map for the first time, the music, background sounds are playing like they should and all is well until i save and load the map again. The music (apart from which is triggered) is not there and some background sounds are missing as well. This is perfectly noticable in the beginning on Eden Prime where U can hear background sounds of war (weapons firing, etc.), but when i save and reload, the sound goes away. I can still hear enviromnental sound, like wind and whatever perfectly fine.

Also, after intros when U have to press a key and the planet fades away and U go to menu, well sometimes the menu music starts sort of early (before game menu appears) and the game locks up with repeating sound and i have to reset the computer.

This started to happen after i switched on the hardware sound mode. I've already returned it to off, checked the values in BIOGame.ini (so its 64/62 and reads generic software), tried lowering sound acceleration, but to no avail. When i delete the BIOGame.ini and force the game to create a new one the hardware sound is always ON in game even if i set it to software in the configuration utility beforehand (i can change it afterwards but the music is messed up anyway).

Any other solution would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers!!

PS: Oh and this is PC version of MA and onboard Realtek. Hardware/drivers havent changed since the game worked fine so my guess is that its something else.

Just a quick update, after watching some walkthrough vids on youtube i found out that my problem is not uncommon. In fact, many people experience it, without noticing i guess.

This is an example of Mass Effect working properly, notice the background sound of war:



This is an example of the issue in effect, the SoW background sound is not there:



From what i gather, all sounds like that, even music, plays only when triggered (in this case, by landing on Eden Prime), not like the default map tune, so after re-loading the music will not resume, or sort of re-activate itself without going through its trigger again. Is this the way as developers intended it to be, or a bug?
