All Game Sound Shuts Off
ElviraGoth:
No shit! That was my thought, too.
It sounds like another way of saying, "EWE NEED MOAR RAMZ!"
Or it's an excuse for their lousy programming.
Either way, no thanks. It's probably their spyware trying to phone home that's doing it. When it can't do its job, it fills up your CPU and cuts out the sound.
Bleah.

Killing "every" service sounds like you're killing those dodgy Sound Card Driver services that installs with your sound card, since TS3 doesn't run any such services. And yes, those unnecessary sound card programs probably DO cause grief.

Yes, and I should know better. The culprit was my creative xfi crap that I forgot to disable after updating.

Well, I found a couple of sims that were stuck. One was out in her yard and couldn't move past the sculpting station for some reason, so I used resetsim on her. Another sim in the same household was at the hospital, (just visiting?) and when I tried to send her home, she wouldn't go. When I zoomed in on her, she had a police cruiser (family vehicle) that kept trying to get around her. I used resetsim on her, too, which sent her home, but the car was still trying to stick to her. I deleted the car since there were two in that household and one of them was from a sim that had died.
Since then, I haven't had any sound problems to speak of. Maybe once or twice for a second or two out of several hours of gameplay.
Hopefully, this fixed my sound problems. Might be worthwhile just checking on sims in households you're not currently playing, just in case.

I can definitely confirm this as well. Seems to happen with children riding personally owned bikes as well as adults. Sound goes wonky, game slows down to a crawl. if you save the game in this state, it stays in that bugged state. EA strikes again! I looked all over the web before I found this forum which actually addressed this issue. Not even EA's tech support forums have anything reporting this one. Note: If a kid rides the default npc-pool bike, this issue does not happen. Dunno so much about adults. I usually get them Kenspas for traveling around China for example. Issue doesn't seem to happen with Kenspas.
