Guild Wars 2

I notice that some of the ambient noise and dialogues in the game are really loud.

A couple of examples are the final boss of Twilight Arbor explorable mode and the final stage of Arah story mode. In both cases, all I heard during the combat was a very loud rumbling noise. I couldn’t even hear my character’s voice, the sound effects from skills or the background music.
Some NPC conversations in the main cities are also very loud, eventhough they’re standing pretty far away from my character.

Adjusting the sliders in the sound options doesn’t seem to fix this problem.

I have also experienced this, for me it mainly happens randomly when pets or summoned animals are around. The footsteps suddenly become about 30dB louder then the rest of the games audio and it basically breaks my ears…I deal with it by taking my headphones off.

Like said it happens randomly and goes away randomly.
