Guild Wars 2

Hello everyone,

I have a problem with ingame sound. Symptoms are:
- Voices from NPC are really quiet, if I look directly at them (as if they were really far away)
- By turning the camera to the left or right, their voices become normally loud
- My owns character voice is not hearable…
- but is, if I am near walls or stuff

I first thought my sound driver maybe making issues, but as their is a clear ingame camera direction involvement, I am pretty sure, this can not be caused by external programs?!

I only have this problem for about 2-3 weeks. And not on every NPC, just some of them.

As the support ticket has not gotten any answer (Anfrage #6531983)

Does anyone have any idea what this could be caused by?

One thing to check is to make sure your in-game audio settings match your OS settings and your physical audio set-up. For example, if you use a 2.1 sound system, make sure the OS audio system is set to 2.1, as well as the in-game settings. Same for headphones, 5.1, 8.1, etc.

Good luck.

For **** sake… Thank you. In windows I had the same config as always. Apparently updating realtek audio manager changed the settings there from stereo to 7.1

That for sure can’t work with a normal headset fascepalm

You are welcome. Glad it worked out for you! =)

Don’t forget to update your ticket stating you no longer need assistance.

Where do you go to check this? I can’t seem to find the setting on my computer (windows 10 pro) or the game.

Any help would appreciated.
