Guild Wars 2

I have found that all my audio is good except for the NPC comments. A lot of times in order for me to hear what the NPCs have to say outside of a cinematic i have to turn my camera 90 degrees to hear what they are saying other wise its muffled and sounds like its in a tunnel. I have tried every port as far as my audio card goes and the one I am plugged in to is the only one that plays the GW music and works with everything else.
A fix or suggestion would be great at this point. on a side note I didnt have this problem in the beta.

I get the same problem, also when fighting large scale fights with many players and noises going off sometimes the sound get completely shut off and this constant pinging noise starts up, it sounds like an alarm.

I found that if i turn off my 5.1 surround sound and it seemed to fix the problem. I just found it really odd that I couldn’t hear the NPC that I was standing in front of unless i turned my camera.
