Guild Wars 2

So, whenever I jump down from somewhere high, whether it was from a vista, jumping puzzle or to loose mob aggro, I keep loosing part of my characters sound bank, until I waypoint or engage in battle with an enemy. Some sounds that are missing after these height drops include weapon swing and hit sounds, and the grunt of effort the character makes while jumping.
This issue seems to be caused by the audio body not managing to find a way to your characters location in the game world, similarly to how the Mesmer skill blink needs to find a valid path to the target location in order to teleport the character. At least that is what I “feel” the issue is about.
I realize that there are much more important things to take care of at the moment, which is understandable. I just wanted to know if other people had the same problem, or get a response as to whether this is caused by my computer’s hardware or is indeed a game software related issue.

Yep, I get this too.

Notice it a lot on my ranger after I drop from a height and my mud-slowing passive goes off- often, I get no sound effect at all and no sound effects for a little while afterwards either.

happens to me too. Not only when i jump from a high point but also when I change instances, or when i use speficic skill (“locast swarm”). It’s even more irritating when you TP to a town where you can hear only speicific sounds and nothing else

I’m experiencing the same issue. When you view a vista, the sound generally follows the camera, but when you “flash-back” to your character, the sound doesn’t return. The only way around this (until it’s fixed), is to engage in combat for more than 2 to 3 seconds – you’ll find that your character’s sounds slowly fades back into the forefront.

Same thing’s happening to me. I tried high quality, low quality, changed default device to hardware. Still lose the sound.
