Yoda, where exactly are those changes made?

[crusader_bin]

You guys that lost sound could try lowering sound format in your device to 48000 Hz, or even 44100. I had same issue with Serious Sam HD. The EXACT same problem. My ME2 will arrive tomorrow and I too have win7, I hope that's the solution. Or that I won't get that problem at all

To change sound format go to Sound options, under first tab you have your devices listed, click on your device, properities, advanced tab - here you have available sound formats.

Edit:

Ahhh, for what I see (Yoda's post!) It looks like I'm right. You need to change sound format and I'm quite sure any lower one will work. You won't see the diffrence, I'm sure.

Thank You Crusader!! I lowered mine to 16 bit, 48000 Hz (DVD Quality) and sound works everytime I open the game now. I started and closed the game 5 times in a row and had sound everytime. So everyone else having this issue, this may fix yours also.

[crusader_bin]

Glad I could help. This should by sticky, I remember how angry I was with Serious Sam HD until I figured it out!

[Shatteredhelix]

Crusader,



My sound is already set to 16 bit 44100, still having the same problem. This solution may work for some, but it doesn't work for everyone. I'll keep cycling through to see if I find one that works every time, and then post my results.

[sgtodeath1]

how do you adjust audio channels or frequency? I can't find it in the conjfigure sound devices...i have xp btw

[radwimp]

Should be somewhere in the Sound and Audio device properties? But I haven't used XP in years...

This also seems to have worked for me, hopefully it sticks! Thanks Crusader.

My sound cuts out a lot and sometimes comes crashing back. I do not have problems with other games like ME 1 and borderlands. I have tried the above suggestions to no effect. I have also played with directx sound acceleration. Please help.

Few times I experienced that (and yes, only in few games) and it always were the same problem - drivers. Try diffrent drivers for your sound card and motherboard, install newer if there are any. If not, try older ones [edit: but only for sound card!!!] (you can always bring your old drivers back). You can also try disabling special sound effects (that perchaps you card does not support) in ME2 options.

In Win7 x64 I found that running Mass Effect as administrator fixed my issue with the sound disappearing after the logo screens.

[1337_n00b]

Hi All,

Having issues with dialouge being cut off prematurely, or missing all together. Most common issue is that the last word will be cut off.

Win7 Ultimate x64
Realtek HD Audio Drivers

All drivers up-to-date.

Tried alot of suggestions reccomended by this thread.

Ran as admin
Ran in XP SP3 Compatibility mode.
Re-installed drivers.
Ran sound quality as CD quality. 16bit.

Other Bioware games run fine without an issue.

Off reading these forums, this appeared to be an issue for realtek drivers in ME1?
They changed a part of the bioengine.ini  file to force it to use a certain amount of channels?

Don't know whether something similar could be done here?

Any suggestions?

Got this game the other day and I want t enjoy it fully.

[Gotoma]

Sound is still cutting out periodically. Tried messing with the drivers. All up to date. Maybe when Bioware gets to patching the game, it might fix it.

I can confirm that "Run as administrator" fixes the no sound after opening screens problem on Win7 x64. I also believe that the Terminus armour may be the thing to blame for this problem occurring.

[rdura]

Interesting you mention the terminus armour - i could swear the game worked fine before i installed it - is there any way to uninstall or disable it now?

Experiencing the same issue, as reported here. I guess Realtek drivers are not the problem, as I own a Creative X-Fi sound card.

[rdura]

As weird as this is when I run it as an administrator it ssems to work 9 out of 10 times but this prevents you from pinning it to your taskbar in windows 7 - quick fix but still a pain in the ass.

[StarGunner]

I hope Bioware releases some patches...... I rely do. But honestly did they not say this game would use Steam? My copy never installed Steam, or added it to my pofile. Disc copy CE mind you, but I thought Bioware said they were going to use Steam now for their disc titles. Oh well patch hunting it is!

I also have the same issue with the sound randomly cutting and crashing back. I've used 2 seperate sound cards and a variety of drivers, as well as a lot of other troubleshooting steps.

Also running Windows 7x64 Ultimate.
Q6600 @ 3.0Ghz
2x2Gb Corsair DDR2 @ 800Mhz
Asus P5N32-E Sli (680i chipset) 1801 bios w/ 15.51 nVidia chipset drivers
BFG GTX 285 w/ 196.21 drivers
2 Sound cards used:
Creative X-Fi w/ 2.18.0013 drivers
SoundMax w/ 6110 drivers

Nothing I have tried works, I have numerous other threads open on other forums with no help, it's actually good to see I'm not the only one with this issue, I was starting to go crazy.

Same problem here. (sound being cut of sometimes)

Also the audio goes out of sync in some/most cutscenes....

VERY annoying.



System:

Q9550 @ 2,83GHz

2x 2048GB OCZ DDR2

Asus Formula Maximus II

8800GT 512MB

SupremeFX X-Fi (used for sound)

X-Fi XtremeGamer (used for mic)



Drivers are all up to date and I do not have any problems with other Games like Dragon Age, Bad Company 2, etc, etc.....

[Youmu]

I managed to play the game for 30 hours, with lots of ending the game and starting the game in between, and out of the blue the sound just breaks down? Don't know if the logos have sound, disabled them :b

Fixed it by setting the sound settings to Stereo, running config, setting sound settings back to Quadraphonic, and running config again. Weird.

edit: Encountered this again. Fixed by simply running config, letting it scan the system, and save.

Hey guys,

For the speeches being cut off & audio getting out of sync in cutscenes, a fix was given in this thread: it comes from CPU overclocking, and getting back to stock frequencies worked well for me.

Hope Bioware gonne fix that in a patch, so users can run their hardware at the speed they want... In the meantime, I found using the nVidia system tools (nForce users only) to load a custom, non-overclocked profile when launching ME2 was a good workaround.

[Makasuro]

Still having the issue, tried everything everyone recommended here. Still happens. I guess I'll have to wait for a patch to enjoy the game... Sigh.

[Jemimus]

I don't even have sound during the opening movies, and not in the main menu. Haven't played the game itself yet.
Windows 7 and Logitech G35 surround headset.

[Spawnyguy]

I have the same problem, it's funny cuz it doesn't happen all the time when I play. This was the exact same problem with ME1 and it's been carried over to ME2. It's the one problem I was hoping would have been fixed with ME2 but it hasn't. If they release a patch I sure hope it works better than the patch they released for ME1 cuz that patch did nothing to fix the problem.

[Vrey]

I am also having the cutting out/crashing back sound issues. Ventrilo/winamp is still playing just fine, this only affect the game sounds, and it only happens in ME2 / Dragon Age.

The 'crashing' sound it makes when it comes back is just extreme in Dragon Age; I really have to rip off my headset because its so unbearably loud. Its still bad in Mass Effect 2, just not as bad.

I currently am running everything on stock speeds, Ive tried the latest drivers as well as several older drivers, both for mobo and the x-fi
