If this tweak doesn't give you surround sound, your audio hardware is not compatible.
The part under should look like this:ĭon't change any audio settings in the game after making this config change. Here are the best Mass Effect mods to try out People continue to circulate rumors of a possible HD remake of the original Mass Effect in hushed tones, but we've yet to see anything concrete to indicate that it's going to happen. If you have supported audio hardware, you have to edit the BioEngine.ini file which is located in Documents - BioWare - Config. Mass Effect 1 is over 10 years old now, which means some PC mods are needed to keep the game fresh. I used a free trial of that once, and it worked, but then bought a sound card since that was cheaper that the software. There are also some onboard audio solutions (like VIA or Realtek) that are compatible with a program called SoundBlaster MB, which upgrades the audio hardware with software emulation. You may get surround on Asus Xonar as well, since those cards have EAX too. The only supported sound cards for this game are Creative Sound Blasters with EAX support.
