Guild Wars 2

A few weeks noticed I my asura did not had any speech and neither did any other npc but today I noticed something curious. Normally when you turn away from a npc the sound becomes softer/a bit more robotic and when you turn to them it turns into a clear proper voice. On my computer it seems like this is turned around. When I face a npc it turns soft/robotic but when I turn away it becomes clear. Repairing does not fix it.

Is their anything that can be done about this?

I noticed that I lost sound entirely somtimes. Messing around with sound quality seems to reset the problem.

Can I ask what kind of sound settings you are using now? Thanks!

If you need them, here are some steps and screenshots that can assist with making the changes to your audio settings Mr. Crichton diagnosed as solving this issue. I hope they help.

Win7/8:

• Control Panel
• Sound
• Hit Configure button in the dialogue box.
• Select the appropriate Stereo or Headphones option.

Win XP:

• Control Panel
• Sounds and Audio Devices
• Volume Tab
• Lower “Speaker Settings” area
• Advanced button
• Then under the “Speaker Setup” drop-down menu, select “Stereo Headphones”.

Also, if you are using a Logitech (or other) headset and are running the configuration software that came with it, you may want to check to see if it is running in Surround Sound mode, or if you have the “Surround Sound” button enabled inside that software. This can conflict with the speaker setup settings at the device driver level and potentially override the stereo changes made there.

Curiously I have noted something like that. When I’m facing the speaker NPCs their voice is clear and normal, but when I turn around their voice becomes robotic. From what I recall it wasn’t this way before but I noted it recently. None of my sound settings changed.
