Ever since I installed the 1.29 patch last night, I've had my sound cutting out and not coming back on. The sound plays as normal on load up, then about an hour or so after play, it cuts out. How typical of EA to "fix" things, and break a million other things.
Can you provide a bit more info? Does the sound cut off completely but come back after a while, all at once? If so, that's a problem that has been around for a while with no known cause, as far as I know.
The sound doesn't come back on after a while. It took me a while to actually realise that the sound had turned off completely. I first noticed it in CAS. In CAS the background music tends to cut out after a song or two, but the sound effects play as normal. Last night when the sound cut out, I figured that was the case again. Only the sound effects (changing clothing options, outfits etc) when clicking the buttons were not playing and the sim wasn't saying anything either. The last time it happened, I had my sim teaching his dog to speak, as the interaction started, all sound cut out again once more. I continued playing for a few minutes, then saved and quit the game.
EDIT: What is PEBCAK?

It's been found to be the most common cause of computer problems. You should probably Google for a good PEBKAC scanner for your computer.

Next time you play, try one thing out: when the sound cuts out, pause the game for 5-15 minutes and do something else near the computer while you wait; keep an ear open for any sudden spew of sounds, which should hopefully happen. If it happens, just repeat the same steps the next time the sound cuts out because you now know it will come back eventually.*read below* This is actually a good thing because it means your game isn't screwed, just a victim of a random bug that has been around for a while. If the sound doesn't come back, I can only suggest basic troubleshooting suggestions such as removing CC/mods, etc.
Edit: A quick search led me to this thread right here on MATY: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=20852.0 - check it out if it matches your problem & follow the solution suggested. I know you said the sound cuts out completely, but I can't tell from your posts if you wait 5-15 minutes on Pause to see if the sound comes back. In my own experience with this issue and from other posts across the interwebz, the sound always comes back after a while.

I am going to give this sentence a special Grammar Day thumbs up for being correctly punctuated. Some might quibble about the comma before the final subordinate clause, but given the length of the sentence, I am happy to let it stand. Thanks for participating in Grammar Day!

I also have the sound issue but this patch didn't cause it as it existed before this. I just save and exit, then restart. Or I go play something else.
