Hi,

I’m not realy good with computers, and I keep getting a weird bug when I play Guild Wars 2.

Each time I’m in a CPU/graphic card intensive place (loading cities, running around in WvW pvp) sound effects of my character (foot steps, weapon swings etc.) fade completely and music seems to be disrupted (not muted – just sounds wrong).

It used to happen everywhere, but following an advise from different forums I changed music output from digital to speakers (whatever it means lol – I just followed the advice).

What else can I do to improve the situation? Slide show now and then is something we all need to adjust to, but sounds help when I’m attacked from behind in pvp.

Also – this happens only for Guild Wars 2. I run Skyrim without problems, shogun 2 with some mouse pointer issues and a couple of other random games run smootly.

Regards,
Thomas

I’m running Windows 7 64 bit on a Lenovo Y560 idea pad. Currently my audio device is called “speakers” (in polish – I have localised windows).
