Guild Wars 2

Just as it says in the title.
Since Monday’s minor patch, my client has been suffering from some peculiar audio stuttering issues. The first time I noticed it, it occurred only during FPS drops, in severely crowded areas. I simply blamed it on Wintersday and disregarded it where able.

Today it has been showing up at random intervals, even when completely idle with 60 FPS in areas devoid of other players – Music, NPC dialogue, spell effects, player instruments: everything stutters at the same time.

I have attempted multiple things to fix the issues, adjusting some settings and putting them back when there was no result. I updated all my PC’s drivers – CPU, GPU, Windows Update etc. – , ran a -repair on the client to no avail, and still the problem persists. If anyone has any suggestions left, do share.

Much appreciated, and all in all a Merry Christmas!

EDIT:
A clean reinstall of the game did the trick. Friend suggested it as a last resort; it worked.
