I would try just installing the updated driver then, it will most likely replace what you're currently using anyway, windows has a habit of doing that.
What language is your computer using by the way?

I have this problem! I posted a while ago about it but to no avail. A temporary fix for me was to turn off all the in-game surroundsound options, this buyms as I have expensive surround sound on my pc
but any help would be great for me too.

That's been my experience, too - tho it happened shortly before HM was implemented. It was after the last major patch prior to HM (and referenced somehting to do with sound drivers somewhere, but I can't locate the reference.)
The first fight (or two if they're small) I get severe lag, and the sound is like an echo. Then, it seems to adjust and I'm pretty much good to go from that point on. (Provided I didn't get ganked in the meantime!) It's a bit annoying right now because I'm using Aggressive Refrain and GFTEs together, and I can't get it to respond before I lose my Aggressive Refrain.

There is no dutch version, but i think you just got the whrong driver since i think that only means the language in wich the page is displayed, not the language of the driver. Perhaps it was just the whrong driver..

Well, your free to look for it yourself on their web site for what driver you need. As for the driver, that's what audio card is integrated on your motherboard, Realtek ALC880/882 Audio Driver.
Here's another location with a download of that driver
http://download.pchome.de/download/r...iver_8873.html

On that driver provided from Asus, I think you were installing it wrong. If you open up the zip folder (ALC880_882_Vista_6015350), open up the realtek folder, open up the 32bit folder, open up the 2k_XP folder, then double-click the setup.exe file located in there, it should setup your updated drivers.
Worked on my system running XP, even though that's not what drivers I have.
Also, if that still doesn't resolve the problem, I would try forcing direct sound. If you right click the guild wars shortcut, then change the path to look something like
"C:\Program Files\Guild Wars\Gw.exe" -dsound

Is the sound like a really loud "snow" like what happens on a TV?
If so, that used to happen to me. I ended up getting a new PC because of that and the deterioration of my system despite my best efforts to resolve it.
Sorry i can't be of help, but i hope you find a fix.

This worked for some people i know. The sound engine got changed at some point and anet stopped using directsound. This fixed sound issues for some and created new ones for others. If your sound used to be fine a couple of months ago, then -dsound should solve your problem.
