Lately I have been experiencing what I consider a bug, and I have bugged it in the Support forums, but I am getting no response there. Perhaps there is an issue I can resolve on my end that would solve this, and I am posting here in hopes someone is experiencing or has resolved this particular issue.

When I am playing a PvP match and I move from the active match in to Spectate, very often (but not 100% always) all sounds drop out except for the sound of the weapon swap jingle. The only way I can resolve this is to completely exit the client and restart the game.

Thoughts?

Hey dude you are walking into a wall.

smack..Wut?…smack…smack…

What are your sound settings on the sliders?
Do you play in Fullscreen Mode?

Maybe it is a hardware issue:
Does this bug only occur recently or was it always this way?
Run MemTest for at least 1 time 100% clear.

I will try your bug tomorrow and see if this is the same for me.
If that is not the case its your hardware ( or software drivers) or the Guild Wars 2 data.
Run a check to verify all data:

Locate your Gw2.exe file.
Right-click on the file and select Create shortcut.
Rename this new shortcut to Guild Wars 2 Repair.
Right-click on Guild Wars 2 Repair and select Properties.
Locate the Target line and add –repair to the end. (Example: “C:\Games\Guild Wars 2\gw2.exe” -repair)
Click OK.

Double-clicking Guild Wars 2 Repair will begin the repairing your game client. The game will launch when it is complete.

Note: Keep in mind that the verification and repair process will run each time you double-click the Guild Wars 2 Repair shortcut. If you would like to play the game immediately without repairing the archive, double-click on Gw2.exe or another shortcut without the -repair command.
