Guild Wars 2

This is a problem I’ve encountered at least a few times. The problem is that when I’m playing the game, no particular place or thing I’m doing, the usual sound of music and effect gets muted and this wierd sound replaces it.

It’s hard to explain but it’s this sound that changes frequency, it is the same tone as far as I can hear. It goes from a high pitch to low and back again over and over again, untill I close gw2.. And the sound is only on the left speaker on my headphones. The only thing i know of that will fix it is to close gw2. I have looked at the in game sound options while this sound was going and there was no change in the sound options.

This happend im Cursed Shore and Wayfarer Foothills that I can remeber, and mostly during events.

I don’t think it is a problem with my computer since everything else sound related works fine. My music keeps playing as it was and Skype/TeamSpeak works fine aswell. My headphones are ok, these are new and the problem occured with my old headphones as well. I have reported it as a bug but I wanted to know if I’m the only one.

This is a GW problem. I know they are aware of the issue as it happens all the time in WvW and during large Champion fights. I get this aswell which has led to me always play GW2 muted.

I am SO happy I was not the only one this was happening to, sounded like a hum, or something…very strange, I thought I was going to hear an alien voice coming out of my speakers O.O j/k but it was strange. I looked at my sound drives and everything was up to date shrug jsut restart the game and hope it doesn’t happen again. I DO know that when I turned skill effect sound completely off it stopped happening.

Ditto, glad this is a known issue. I love the way the game sounds and I don’t like needing to restart (especially in dungeons!!!).
