Guild Wars 2

It seems in World vs World I have experienced a sound bug that results in a siren like sound pulsating until a client restart, this only affects the GW2 client.

Just something I’d like to see resolved at some point, other than slow FPS with a 1090T sometimes no other issues to report not a single crash etc.

happens to me also every time -.- found something on youtube, its like this:

really annoying

I have the exact problem that video depicts. I thought my sound card went bad the first time. Given the super-long queue times for WvW I’ve just been muting GW2 and playing some music in the background, rather than restart my client.

i have the same problem in WvW

I had gotten the same thing, I thought something was wrong with my speakers…

I get the same issue. I am running a Xonar DX sound card with all the extra sound processing features disabled.

It only happens in WvW, and it only seems to happen when there are many sounds playing at once (a keep assault, etc). Occasionally, I can also hear ‘glitches’ before this happens, also when there are many sounds at once.

BEEP BOOP BEEEP BOOOOP.

For the record, I get this too. I am using a SteelSeries Frostblue V2, drivers up to date, SteelSeries Engine up to date. Happens outside of WvW, will happen at random, seemingly with large-scale events…

Edit: Typo.

It’s not exclusive to WvWvW and it requires a game restart to fix it.

I got the same thing, only in WvW and does not effect any other just GW2

Have the same thing.
Using plain Realtek HD audio of the mobo.
Seems to happen during big events (20-30+ players around)
Changing the in game sound options doesn’t seem to prevent it.

I am having the same problem (Logitech G35).

Just set sound options to default settings. You can adjust the volume sliders all you want though.

The same thing is happening to me, except that I crash whenever I temper with the sound options as this is happening.

Same problem, only in WvWvW.
and yeah Realtek Audio on the motherboard

yup onlu happens for me in RVR and its big issue aswell.

This is supposed to be fixed.
See here: https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/support/bugs/Annoying-Sound-Bug
It is beyond me, why the support does not answer but me. (and I saw that thread 12 hours ago and thought…ah okay, Support will post here too or merge the threads…)

I was going to make a thread about this myself.
I’d just like to add that the issue hasn’t been fixed yet. I’ve had it once in WvW now and once in standard PvX.
The PvX incident only happened a few minutes ago (IE, most recent build of the game as of this post).
Both times the noise started there were large amounts of players around casting spells (so, a lot of sounds happening).
I’m using an Creative X-Fi soundcard.
I’d just add as well that a few of my friends have experienced the issue, although only in WvW so far – and they have different systems to myself, so it’s a fairly widespread issue.
It’s good to know that ArenaNet are working on it at least.

One of the thousands of bugs in this game….

I’m having the same problem as the video, in WvW when there is a lot of sound happening at once.

Still happening (every time after 20-30 min of WvW for me) and I thing it has to do with the rain of arrows sound….
