I've found that when my stereo stops playing music, it's usually after I've been playing for a long time without saving. I think it has something to do with memory or RAM usage. When I remember to save frequently, this doesn't happen.
ZephyrZodiac:
You're probably right, NVA, and the trouble is, even after you've saved, the bad behaviour of the stereos seems to have become repetitive. But saving is something I tend to do when I finish playing a lot, as I only play a couple of days at a time, and I still get the problem. But I've also had a funny thing where, after patching, the stereo seems to be playing (ie you can hear the music) but the stero is, in fact, turned off. Getting a sim to turn it on and then off solves it, but it's yet another annoyance of post-patch resetting!

I never have the problem of the stereo sound continuing after turning off the stereo, but any outdoor speakers continue to show the little notes floating, even when the stereo is off. Have never been able to get them to stop. This appears to enable dancing interactions without the stereo on (or can sims dance without music anyway?).
ZephyrZodiac:
As far as I'm aware, the only dancing that does not require music is (a) dance on toes and (b) slow dance.
I've never had a problem with the speakers that you mention, but I never use speakers in conjunction with a stereo (at least, not since the base game). Since speakers can function without the existence of a stereo, you appear to me to have the problem of sound ceasing on stereos which are on, only you get it applied to speakers instead. Since speakers cannot be turned off/on, I don't know of a way to get rid of the musical notes.....
