Hey, Ive been having this issue for some time now but its been getting worse.
Back during launch I noticed that sometimes while in the Black Citadel I would hit a sort of graphical lag spike and all audio currently playing on my computer would come out as choppy, slow, and distorted. The only fix for this would be to restart GW2. It didn’t happen 100%, it would only happen in the Black Citadel (near the Asura gate), and it wasn’t that much of a hindrance to fix so I just passed it off.

As of lately though this audio glitch has been getting worse, it happens at random now (normally after a map change) and if I don’t close down GW2 all audio on my computer goes silent. If the sound cuts out slowly other programs on my computer will start acting up. If I was in a skype call I am unable to end the call or open new windows, I cant close tabs in my web browser and shutting down GW2 doesn’t fix the issue. I have to restart completely to get sound back.

Does anyone else have an issue like this? Is there any fix?
