Fairly often my sound card goes into a nuclear claxon mode when I am in a group of players over 20 or so. I have and Audigy Soundblaster I think. Anyone else getting this? Only a game restart fixes this.

Can you describe this “nuclear claxon mode”?

Does it sound like an extremely loud alarm going off constantly?

I’m having the same problem. It seems like the OP said it happens with large battles. I get warbling sound like something you would hear in an old scifi movie. I have to exit the game to get rid of the sound. This has happened many times, but once an ANET message popped up and I let it send a crash report. I’ll just have to wait and see.

I have same problem, always happening to me in wvw. And only thing to do is to restart the game. Which is pretty boo when talking about wvw.

Old issue, pretty lengthy thread about it here:

https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Annoying-Sound-Bug/first

At this point WvW is impossible to play for me because GW2 crashes everytime I enter combat.
