Guild Wars 2

Not sure if this has already been brought up before but thought i would post.

During loading screens and at some other points in the game i am unable to change sound settings without getting a critical error and it closing down the game, something as simple as changing my sound output to headphones or another speaker set or adjusting the quality of the sound

Do you have the latest Realtek drivers?

I don’t use Realtek I use a creative soundblaster 5.1 sound card, all drivers up to date
