Guild Wars 2

I’ve only really noticed this in the personal story and recent living world stuff, but whenever I point my camera directly towards something – or someone who is speaking, i hear nothing. If I direct my camera at a right angle, I can hear the voice/noise really loud in whichever ear is facing the noise.

This kinda ruins immersion and I’ve noticed it since the season one finale. It also makes it hard to listen to conversations as I have to keep moving my camera around, whilst never looking directly at characters.

Summary: Sounds become muted when camera is facing towards the sound, turning camera to the side allows me to hear.

Is there any quick fix to this? Or is a full reinstall the only way to fix the problem?

Check your Windows sound settings and make sure they aren’t set to surround sound. If they are, set them to stereo.

Thank you so much! I didn’t even check my own computers sound settings :P
It all works now

Problem solved

You’re welcome! Glad it has been resolved.
