Through my first and my second playthrough everything was great, apart from sporiadic crashes, but I have a less-than-perfect computer so I am fine with it.
But now for some reason, I think since I installed Bring Down The Sky, my sound preportions or way off. The sound effects are either way too loud or the voices are way too quiet, since I can't hear anyone speaking properly over the sound effects. All of the sound sliders are at default options, I often press reset to default button to no avail. My only option is to put the sound effect bar to 0 so I can hear the voices, but now I have no sound effects to enjoy. I really have no clue as to what has happened.

This sounds like the same problem I had, which was caused by wrong connection (software connections!) of surriund sound speaker system: I'm guessing that the sounds/music mainly come out of the rear or side speakers, dialog out the front speakers. If none of your speakers are connected as "front" speakers, you won't hear the dialog over the sound effects & music

I believe the issue is somewhat different; rather than dialogue being quiet, or only coming out of certain speakers, the ambient background becomes incredibly loud and/or distorted. For example, on planets the Mako engine noise overpowers everything else. Usually the game is fine for a while but then this occurs at some random point, sometimes after a quickload. I have only experienced this since 1.02.



I had this occur a lot on Windows xp64 but have not had it on Windows 7. In my case I do believe the issue was Mass Effect not liking the Creative drivers, which had not been updated in literally years.



A lot of hardware acceleration for sound can be turned off in Windows 7 by going into Control Panel, then Hardware and Sound, then click Sound, then in the Playback tab, find your speaker control for the appropriate soundcard (ie. Speakers: SB X-Fi XTreme Audio, Default Device), then look at the last couple of tabs for the "Disable enhancements" checkbox. Note this can make the sound laggy and/or break up because it seems you lose a lot of sound buffering and puts more load on the CPU.

If none of the suggested work, and if you have some codecs like ffdshow try to have it exclude the games executable on both audio and video. Should be under info and debug in ffdshow configuration, and you should see something that says "Don't use ffdshow in:" and add the games executable.

take a minute and check your speaker set-up in the soundchip control software
