How to Fix Surround Sound (Step by Step)

Download openal soft from 2. Put file from Win32/softoal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/WOW64 and file from Win64/softoal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/system32, override if necessary.

This file is located: x: Users xxx Documents BioWare Mass Effect Config.Note any typos will break the game and cause crashes so be careful here.

Because Bioware again shipped some broken, old OpenAL32.dll where surround is not working properly here are steps to fix it.

  • Download Openal Soft from https://openal-soft.org
  • Put file from Win32/soft_oal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/SysWOW64 and file from Win64/soft_oal.dll as OpenAL32.dll to Windows/system32, override if necessary.
  • Delete OpenAL32.dll from binaries in game directory.
  • Put this:

[ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice]
MaxChannels=128
UseEffectsProcessing=True
TimeBetweenHWUpdates=15
MinOggVorbisDurationGame=20
MinOggVorbisDurationEditor=4
DeviceName=
ReserveChannels=2
TotalAvailableChannels=128
UseEffectsProcessing=True

To BIOEngine.ini in config directory in path like Mass Effect Legendary EditionGameME1BioGameConfig, make it read-only so game doesn’t override it. There should be already section like ISACTAudio.ISACTAudioDevice so put it there.

  • Run alsoft-config.exe from openal-soft-{version}-binalsoft-config and set your desired channels – in my case it’s 7.1 and click apply, you can try other options, whatever seem to be better for you.
  • (Optionally) go to %appdata%, there should be file alsoft.ini and you can try adding two options there.

volume-adjust = 6
front-stablizer=true

Volume-Adjust increases overall sound volume -24 to 24 and Front-Stablizer mixes sound from left and right channel to center.

  • Just run a game, you should have surround sound working fine now.
  • If it doesn’t work try restarting your PC.
  • Also it might work if you replace dll only in a binaries folder – but i didn’t try it.

Greetings,

Chances are if you're a PC gamer like me, you have a few titles you can't live without, or titles you haven't played in a really long time. Well, Mass Effect is an example of such a game for me. And, if you're like me, sound or good audio is an absolute requirement to play. My first attempt at ME1 didn't have sound, and it was frustrating. Google search upon google search came up dry, everything from playonlinux, to editing BIOEngine.ini, to wine hacks, nothing. That's when I found a really easy solution that works every time, and I think it can work for someone else to.

Here's how I got Mass Effect 1 audio working the really, really easy way.

1) Install Steam and Mass Effect in a 32bit WINE prefix.
2) Launch Steam
3) Right click Mass Effect, properties.
4) Go local files, browse local files. A WINE Explorer window should pop up.
5) Open the Binaries directory
6) Right click on MassEffect.exe and open it.
7) The game now opens with sound!

In the event you hear nothing after that, make sure hardware acceleration is turned off in-game. Also, if your game crashes, you may need to set OpenAL32 to native in WINE, or install lib32-openal (I think that was the package).

Now for some of my system specs:

Note that for WINE I am using the pulse audio driver. I am also using the open source AMD video driver.

I hope this saves someone else a lot of trouble with getting what I consider to be a classic game working!
