Somebody HELP ME!!

I've been trying to figure out this glitch for years.  I've tried ME1 on several computers with a variety of different sound cards, and I always have this problem.  I've seen video of ME playing on a PC without this problem, so there must be some way to make it work.  I've tried so many different tweaks and supposed fixes -- different settings in BIOEngine.ini, using latest drivers, turn off any overclocking, tried Software and Hardware audio.  My current sound card is a Soundblaster X-Fi Titanium.

I've made a video to demonstrate the glitch, hoping someone recognizes the problem and knows how to fix this:

Eureka!  I solved it!  After so many years, I finally can play Mass Effect without glitching dialogue.  This thread pointed me in the direction of my hard drive as the likely cause, and although the suggestion to disable advanced power management didn't help, I eventually decided to move my mass effect folder to a different drive -- tricky but not impossible when the game is installed through steam (I used this software).  With the game on my smaller OS hard drive, it plays fine.

My guess is that this problem happens if the game is installed on too large a HDD or partition.  I originally had it on a 500GB partition of a 1TB HDD.  This also explains why the problem happened on multiple computers -- I've always used a large drive partition for games (something to reconsider for the future).

Although we are all pleased to hear that the games does work better now, it is my experience that drive SIZE has no bearing on that symptom, only drive SPEED, and how much cache RAM it offers.  If both your larger and smaller drives are the same speed, with the same cache size, then the cause was something else (IMO, anyway).
