Can Sound Errors Cause Game to Crash?

Those errors have been there since the base game, check in your logs folder, they're there. Delete them, load your game for one second and exit - they're back. As I said, they are just stuff that got left behind.
I didnt have sound errors until University. Now I have to disable my sound drivers before I play so it doesnt lag. Myaudio device also isnt compatible with the game so I never bothered updating the drivers bc I didnt think it would matter
Process Denied:
Last night my game crashed due to a sound glitch. The stereo skipped and I was immediately looking at my desk top no message either.
notveryawesome:
I've only once had a sound-related game crash, and it occurred when my household of playable Uni students performed music at a community lot. I had cancelled the action to play an instrument from one of my playables and then immediately queued for another of them to play the same instrument. I think that's what caused the crash, but I don't remember if I also had a hack -related problem with instruments, or not (it was a while ago), or if/how I ever fixed it.
miramis:
I used to get sound related crashing when Uni came out, it happened right up until Nightlife at which point it stopped happening. My guess is that there was a bug that someone at EA found and fixed *crickets chirping* no really, they actually fixed that one in an expansion :D
I have not played BV since the first couple of days really (hubby begs, whines, winges and moans for me to come heal him on EQII and lays on a guilt trip whenever I try to play TS2) so I have not yet experienced this new possible sound crash.
I do recall that only a very small number of us had this problem, a search of the bbs tech help section may dig up an old thread I started way back then as well as a couple of others. I recall spending a very long time trying to figure out the cause but ultimately all I had was that it was related to more than three money trees becoming harvestable at the same time (it was the sound of that happening that would cause a crash/sound loop and would force a reset of the pc).
As I recall I only encountered one or two others on the bbs getting it, and I think I once came across a post here that seemed very much like my own experience.
Someone mentioned elsewhere here that they suspected EA had used a lot of old Uni code for BV, I've been thinking this myself to be honest with the Barista/Tour Guide problems seeming so similar, the way hotels operate is very similar to dorms, very old bugs resurfacing that had previously been fixed, and now this sound crashing that you are experience. There are some things on the bbs that also seem familiar, I saw a mention of something that sounds very much like the old NPC/Slowdown bug (which I'm quite concerned about actually - this is a far worse scenario than the tour guide issue).
Simmer:
Just curious, are the sound issues connected to Realtek, because I get a boatload of errors connected to that one.
