Guild Wars 2

Recently, there have been a few moments where audio will stop working. My laptop is still able to play sound normally through other programs, however, most of the sound effects in game will mute. Only one element of the background ambient will continue to play, but there are no vocals or other sound effects. Attempting to alter sound settings will not cause anything to change. The ambient noise will continue to persist in loading screens as well.

The only way to fix this currently, is to restart my client.

This also happens to me, but very rarely. The problem I experience much more frequently is boss battle music that won’t stop after the fight. I’ve tried going to a different zone, going to Heart of the Mists, etc., but nothing stops it short of restarting the client. I had this problem with only the Frozen Maw event for a while, but since this last patch it happens at almost every boss fight.
