Guild Wars 2

I have a moderately good computer so I don’t normally encounter bugs of this nature, but since a friend with a similarly good computer has had the same problem I have decided to ask “what’s up A-Net?”

The problem: For me, it was the sound of my guardians staff 1 (lawn mower staff) ability that was constantly looping in my audio feed from the game. No other audio was coming from the game and the sound persisted when I changed weapons and even when I turned the master volume slider down to zero. Beyond that, I had to bring up the task manager in windows to fully kill the GW2 process even after successfully loging out of the game through the game options. Launching a new client “fixed” the problem, but it is an odd problem to have in the first place.

For my friend, it was looped ambient audio from Lions Arch, and it would play the Lions Arch ambient audio even when he changed zones. In his case no other audio played either (no attack sounds or running/movement sounds) it was just the LA ambient audio looping forever. In his case, he just closed the game and re-opened it, he did not have to task manager to kill the process.

I was just wondering if any other uses have had this problem and/or if there is a permanent fix for this so that it wont happen again. Cheers -Arlien

I too have the looping ambient audio from Lions Arch. It gets quite irritating.

1. Slide your “Master Volume” all the way to the left (off.)
2. Slide the “Sound Quality” back and forth, then back to what you had it set to.
3. Slide your “Master Volume” back to what you want it at.

This fixes the audio loop but does not stop it from happening again. This is a crappy fix though, ANet should look into this and patch it.
