Hello guys
I have Mass Effect for Windows. The 5.1 sound is not working, the sound is only 2.0.
My sound card is a Creative X-FI Titanium.
How can I get 5.1 sound?

The official solution from Creative Labs (only works on EAX compatible hardware, like yours):
Make sure that you have 'hardware audio' selected in the sound options. This may require a restart.

This game have a bug in the configurator tool who change every time you use it the sound to software device.
To restore the Hardware openAL acceleration :
Launch the configurator tools, configure it and lauch the game.
In the game, check especially sound option (eax on)
Quit the game
Edit the file locate in c:\\user\\yoursession\\BioWare\\Mass Effect\\Config\\BioEngine.ini
in [ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice]
Change Devicename=Generic Hardware (could be Generic Software too)
to Devicename=
change MaxChannels=128 (x-fi only)
That's all, you can check the log after the next launch of the game
you should see something like that
Init: Audio Device: SB X-Fi Audio [EC00] (number can vary)
[10.172] Init: 127 Free Sources, 2 Reserved
no more generic software in the log
Do not use the config tool or change and save audio setting in the game or the devicename will be rechange to generic software.
Make sure that you have 'hardware audio' selected in the sound options. This may require a restart.
