Sound settings reset every run

Hi,
I've found that some settings aren't persistent between runs. Every run I have to turn off the music.
Is there something I need to change in the way I've configured this?
Thanks!

GW2 is in read-only mode when allowing multiple clients. To have it save, right click the account > Selected > Launch (normal).

Thanks, that works. Is this also how configuration for addins like Blish hud works?

Launch (normal) is only needed when changing GW2's "local" settings (login, sound and some graphics). GW2 specifically prevents changes to its own files when multiple clients are allowed to access them.

Addons (DLLs) may have a similar effect, but that's only if multiple clients are overwriting each other due to sharing the same addon files, then it's ultimately whichever one was last is saved. Some addons don't support sharing at all and will instead load with empty settings or fail entirely when already in use.

Blish isn't a problem.
