Guild Wars 2

I don’t think I’ve ever played GW2 without sound bugs.

Let me explain, I play GW2 with the ingame master sound slider to about 10%. The game audio is very low as I watch a movie at the same time.

Now every now and then, I’ll get this sound glitch coming from the game that OVERRIDES the sound level – it plays at max game volume.

It happens constantly and consistently. I’Ve tweaked the audio quality but it persists.

Here are some audio that I’ve recorded from my gameplay:

The bug happens at the waveform spikes.

Is anyone else affected by this? what’s going on??

Are you guys telling me that nobody else has these issues?

Can anyone at least say “no I don’t have any sound issues”

I have an alarm like bug from time to time.

Yeah! I’ve had that happen 2 times so far, I had to restart the game client to make it normal again..

Yeah i get the same thing from time to time just a random sound or npc’s out of nowhere that’s way louder that all others. I also have the sound completely crash on me in massive action areas/big events where the sound just gives up and is replaced with what i can only describe as a constant tone that warps in and out again in volume.

This same exact thing is happening to me as well and it has come to the point where I can’t play the game with the sound on.

Just move the slider for sound quality down one notch if it is on the highest, Worked for me.

This alarm is freaking kitten . makes any wvwvw unplayable since you need to restart client to “fix” it(long queues).

I have this issue and it sucks. I am blown off my chair because of the sound.
The event plays at 1000% higher volume than my settings.

How can this even be allowed to override my settings? I also get the alarm but by reducing sound quality slider fixed it.
Some events I rush to shut the game off and is a miserable experience.

Came to the forum to post about this very issue. I play with the game sound muted, but every once in a while an ultra loud sound will play. I don’t know what it is, but it’s really driving me nuts.

Edit: The ‘fix’ I’m going to try is telling the game to use an audio device which doesn’t exist. Hopefully that will be enough to stop it.
