Hey everyone - I wanted to report an issue and find out if I'm the only one who's facing something similar.
The issue looks like this - whenever I log in on a character, regardless of what I do - my sound (both music, game effects and ambient dialogue/sounds) keeps "resetting" after several seconds. It's easiest to identify by the music - a song for a specific area starts playing after logging in, then after several seconds it gets into a loop of short "glitches" (it sounds similar like a broken record which have quick pauses and repetitions one after another) and then it simply starts over from the beginning. Then, after several seconds - the cycle repeats.
When I am in a zone where there is NPC ambient dialogue or whatever - the dialogue has the same issue (i.e. if it "times" right - I can hear the NPC saying the same thing twice of three times before resetting it back again). When I discovered it for a first time it was funny. After hearing the same song start over and over every ~10-15 seconds - it's really, REALLY annoying.
Generally - I haven't played in ~1.5 weeks (I have been out of my home and got back recently) so I suspect this has been caused by something recent. I've already tried few things (logging in to different characters/zones, trying different activities, fixing my game client, reporting a bug through the in-game report form etc.) - so far with little effect. I have looked both through the official forums and Reddit, so far I haven't found someone who would describe similar issues. So I'm worrying that might be only me.
Does anyone else has similar issues? Is there anything I can do to help myself? I've turned the music so it's less annoying but the rest of the sounds are also affecting me (not to mention the music in GW2 is tremendous so not having the ability to enjoy it really hurts).
