 This issue has been going on for years now and Bioware doesn't seem to care. The dialogue during gameplay gets cut abruptly i.e I hear only half of the last word of the conversation (or sometimes the entire word gets skipped). 

I tried switching from hardware to software, but the problem still persists. I also tries changing the maxchannels to 64 (it was 64 to begin with) and totalavailablechannels to 62 (from 64) in the bioengine.ini file. Still no effect.

I thought maybe it was a directx issue since I'm running this on windows 7 and directx11 (and a couple of years ago I had no issues on my old desktop that ran xp. Sound was perfect). So I downloaded directx 9.0c october 2006 (got the version of directx 9.0c off the origin website) and installed it. Still no effect.

I am running it in compatibility mode in window xp sp 3 as an administrator.

I tried contacting EA technical support and they told me that this was an in-game issue and that they only handle 'game-related issues'. Would someone explain the difference? They also said that the game developers regularly monitor issues on this forum. That remains to be seen.

Here are my specifications:

MacBook Pro
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
2.4GHz quad-core 
Intel Core i7
4GB 1333MHz750GB 5400-rpm1
Intel HD Graphics 3000
AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 1GB GDDR5

Audio Device - Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB 29)

I'm not very tech savvy so please let me know if I missed anything out. Help me resolve this persistent and irritating problem. I want to play the mass effect series from the beginning to get the full experience in anticipation of mass effect 3!

This is due to using hardware which was developed after the game had been developed, and hence support for it has not been included within the game.

I had similar problems with Realtek HD audio, which I resolved using tweaks from this thread.

Might take some tinkering, startnig, testing, quiting and re-tweaking, but you should be able to get it right eventually. The most important thing is to set your volume levels first, and then tweak, as opening up the audio settings once in game to adjust volumes will then reset some of the settings in the bioengine.ini file.

Thanks a bunch! I'll give it a shot. Really desperate to play this thing.
