I’ve been experiencing the same problem and it has gotten even worse now since the beep sound is now followed up with a crash shortly after. Let’s try and gather as much information as we can?

  • I’m using a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 24-bit audio card with the latest drivers.
  • The problem occurs both when I’m using speakers and headphones.
  • The problem occurs when there is a high amount of sound effects triggered in the game, be it WvWvW or a very large group event in PvE.
  • The problem cannot be fixed with in-game settings, the only way to disable the pulse is by muting GW2 through windows. The ingame sound settings in GW2 do not have any effect on the frequency, volume or duration of the pulses.
  • The problem does not seem to be related to anything else running in the background, it happens with simply only running GW2 alone.
  • The problem only affects GW2, all the other applications that produce sound are perfectly stable.

Hopefully people can add information to this list, especially when kind of sound card they are using or what they were doing when this occured.
