Guild Wars 2

while taking part in a dynamic event to down a world boss or “champion” maybe after a couple minutes of fighting the normal audio cuts out and is replaced by this really annoying sound, like a binaural beat fading in and out. Im always surround by a large amount of other players when this happens and it all usually results in the game freezing. I get maybe 5-8 more minutes then the game might freeze randomly or when i try to log out the game will freeze. is anyone familiar with this?

Yes Ive had the same happening to me too. Bloody hell annoying. Only way to fix it is to completely relog. I never had this before probably after one of the patches.

What CPU you guys are using and what are the max temps you get? Id say its caused by the cpu getting overwhelmed by the events and its failing to render sound cuz its too busy rendering the game…

I get the same problem. My CPU is an AMD Phenom II X6 1100T. I have it overclocked to 3.8Ghz. Unless the overclocking is causing the problem, the CPU should be able to handle it all.

Nope , audio is not rendered on my cpu at all. It is either proccesed by the DSP in my logitech G35 or on the X-fi i have not the CPU. The audio rendering engine in GW2 just is not up to snuff as it is atm. Also it does not have proper surround either. It seems to have problems handeling anything that requires near 64 channels and wil start to chugh ,jitter or disapear completely. either on my Logitech G35 or dedicated x-fi it doesnt matter.

Intel i5 at 4.5ghz
16gb ddr
560ti @985mhz

All cooled properly and monitored

I am also getting this issue. Overclocked i7 930 using an Asus Xonar D2X sound card.
