All Game Sound Shuts Off
Ryslin:
I just had this happen to me.
Situation as such.. bought 2 bikes, the smooth one(apologies that I cannot remember the whole name). Set preferred on both sims for their particular bike. Sent sim to China.
Sim rode bike in china.
Sim comes home.. Wife takes bike (his!) No sound.
Reboot.
Delete bike , one missing..delete the bike holders. Send Wife off to find other bike. It was not showing in inventory for whatever reason, and the sound died again.
Delete other bike , give a car. No issues.
Silly little eco sim is going to have to live with the darn bad moodlet.

I haven't experienced this sound problem, but I recall some time ago someone posted about sound issues, and identified the culprit as being the duplex/half-duplex drivers usually associated with dial-up modems. A search should reveal the thread/posts and might help.
It may be nothing, but might be worth investigating as a possible cause. Most laptops have these modems built-in and some desktop PC's also have them.

Well.. that would be interesting if I had a modem. That would be a correct situation in the case of the modem/soundcard combos of about 2003 and earlier.
I do have a sb24bit live, which in common knowledge is shit. It has as best updated drivers as one can give it for win7. (Thank goodness Creative did make some win 7 drivers) I doubt my motherboard soundcard would do much better as it does not have win7 drivers.
However the removal of bike use OF ADULTS removed the issue. I have no problems with kids running around on bikes.

I've also had this problem more often lately. I'll just be playing randomly and all of a sudden the sound goes off. It'll go on for less than 5 minutes, then come blaring back on again. It seems to happen more often to me when I play large houses with big families. I'm playing a single-person family now and I haven't had any problems so far.
Seems like a random EA bug to me - people have been complaining about sound issues since Ambitions came out.

There were complaints here before Ambitions came out about sound problems.
