I've also had a few spell casting sounds and graphics not work for me and I'm still getting problems with finishing quests and level ups They seem to work in town every time fine but outside of town they work at random and I've noticed when guildies are playing with me they hear me level-up/finish a quest but I do not.

I have tried the following solutions: down grading my graphics card drivers, removing the data file and doing a -image, uninstalling the game and completely reinstalling it, changing all the graphics settings none of those have worked yet.

The quest sound problem for me started during the Preview Event, I really hope these problems get fixed when Nightfall goes live.

I've had the missing sound problem for about a month now :/

Well, I guess I haven't had the sound on lately because I usually am talking in Vent or listening to music... so I have no idea exactly it's been like this.

Didn't ANet have an update for this a while back?

Hello, sorry to be reviving this rather old thread, but I have been having this issue since I play Guild Wars, until today.

When I start Gw and begin playing there are no sounds missing, and everything sounds like what it should sound, but, after some minutes of playing, I notice that some skills don't make any sound when being cast, although those on my heroes/henchies can be heard, and,not only skill casting sounds, but also normal attack sounds like the staff fire or sword hit, etc.

It also mutes some GUI sounds, such as the one when you target something in the radar (actually the one I miss the most :x ), or calling some target.

I tried upgrading my soundcard drivers but it remained the same.

My soundcard is the aging soundblaster live 5.1 Digital. It is a cheap card nowadays, but it never gave me any trouble in other games.

I tried deactivating 3d sound, Eax, running it to see if the problem went away, running it in 5.1, running it with headphones in stereo, but it always happens the same.

Anet could you please look into this?

I run GW on three very different machines with wildly different audio devices, and I haven't heard this problem - nor have I heard about this from my GW-playing friends. There seemed to be an issue previously (as mentioned in the thread) related to certain skill sounds not showing up a while ago, but that one was supposedly resolved. What you're describing sounds a bit different to me. Unfortunately, it also sounds like you've already tried all of the obvious things I'd suggest first.

I'd recommend you contact support about this. They may have suggestions, and if all else fails, they can have you generate some hardware reports and forward it to the ANet programmers. I'd imagine these sort of problems would be pretty hard to fix if they can't reproduce the problem themselves.
