As I mentioned, I just reinstalled windows recently. Is there perhaps an option I need to set somewhere on my computer that I have overlooked?
No, I'd say more likely you need to either update your sound card drivers, or delete and re-install them. I know the Creative cards come with a utility that sets the sound card to the type of speakers connected, and that may be mis-configured, so check that first. If you have another type of sound card, or don't have such a utility, time to do the update or re-install dance.

Well, that takes care of one of my (many) Sims-related problems, too. Same situation-- same errors-- same setup-- same fix! That's probably the most surprising thing of all :) Kudos to everyone.

I've just realised that my rear speakers do not work. At all. They are plugged in, obviously (it's the first thing I check). All the computer sound settings are set to 5.1 surround sound (and I've tried others for good measure). My soundcard, Realtek AC97, comes with a utility to configure the sound card and as far as I am aware, it's all set to 5.1 settings. I've also installed the latest driver for it. Still, absolutely no sound at all. There's a speaker test as well, and when I click the rear speakers the sound comes out of the middle one instead (front speakers work fine for that matter). Anyone know what's wrong here?

Is it the on-board (i.e., built-into the motherboard) Realtek? I had a lot of problems with mine on a brand new motherboard, to the point I said the hell with it and put a Creative card into the computer. They're cheap enough.
Kazzandra:
Ah yes-- I also share the same on-board sound card. Well, there's our problem then. Plus I didn't have this problem at all until the latest driver came out. My speakers work fine as long as I keep them on an inaccurate setting! Yay for borked technology! Roll back driver time!
