I have reported this several times already, but it still persists. This has been in game since launch. It is not my PC, my system, my sound card or anything else on my end, only GW2 does this, no other game, no other program, nothing else.
All of a sudden, without a warning, the sound in game just spasms out completely. It’s hard to describe, kind of like a super loud white noise sound with twitches. Everything freezes and I have to reset my PC to get rid of it. The only way to ‘fix’ this so far is to use very specific sound settings in game. I had found them almost a year ago, but recently changed my sound settings because I had forgotten about it – now I am getting the sound crashes again and can’t find the forum thread anymore with the precise settings to avoid it. So yeah. It’s VERY annoying.
NOTE: This is not the known “Siren Bug”, where you get the wooo…wooo…kind of sound. It’s a very loud and sudden white noise type sound.
