hey, for a few weeks now(or right about the time the new sounds were put in)whenever I load into a map or start a battle with something the sound just gets weird and laggy and most of the time it gets to the point where it locks up guild wars and I have to re start the computer or wait 20mins for it to stop. One of my friends have been haven't this same problem also. I would like to know if this has been happening to anyone else and if so how did they fix it.

There's a switch to force the old sound engine back, don't remember which one it is. There's also the -nosound switch which will launch GW without sound. This should solve your problem. If you haven't already updated your sound drivers, do so before disabling your sound.
