A:

You may want to check your audio device configuration to ensure it is set to ‘Stereo’ and not set for ‘5.1/7.1 Surround Sound’.

Win7:

  • Control Panel
  • Sound
  • Hit Configure button in the dialogue box.
  • Select the appropriate Stereo or Headphones option.

Win XP:

  • Control Panel
  • Sounds and Audio Devices
  • Volume Tab
  • Lower “Speaker Settings” area
  • Advanced button
  • Then under the “Speaker Setup” drop-down menu, select “Stereo Headphones”.

Also check the “Exclusive Mode” setting for the device as perhaps another application launched before GW2 has been given exclusive access to the audio device which prevents GW2 sound from being sent to the device.

Also, if you are using a Logitech (or Razer) headset and are running the configuration software that came with it, also check to see if it is running in Surround Sound mode, or if you have enabled the “Surround Sound” button inside that software.
