Guild Wars 2

Hi there, usually I like to have the ambient sounds in this game cranked up to max for atmosphere but recently turned them down as I am in Royal Pass a lot and the portal noise there is very annoying. Also when you are there crafting for some length of time some strange grinding type sound thing pops up, a real weird sound not sure what. However that is not the issue which I will now get to.

So as I said I recently turned down the environment (which I believe used to be called ambient?) by a lot, not to zero but not too far off. Anyway I was just playing the game but logged to quickly do something and also read the forums a bit. While reading the forums I noticed that the sound of my game slowly over time kept getting louder and louder. I have the music turned off and since I was not logged in and doing no interacting the only sound that could be heard is the environment, so it was this that kept getting louder. Not by too much but enough to almost make my lowering attempt in the first place redundant and loud enough to annoy me to mute it altogether.

I logged in game and parked myself next to a portal to see if the same effect happens while in game. Sure enough it does. The only fix I have found is to do basically anything with the UI, such as open a menu and select a tab, or open a bag for example and it will reset the sound to my chosen level. Note, this rising in sounds does NOT move the slider in the settings tab at all, it just audibly is effected. This is kind of annoying.

I hope this gets looked into and some kind of explanation is given, thanks.

Edit: I just noticed it only takes a few seconds for the sound to rise while in game and it seems to go to what it should be if you have not changed the slider at all.
