A New Direction
As of today, the focus of the 'no sound bug' is moving away from driver updates (way too inconsistent to be useful), and towards documenting any interesting observations regarding the no sound issue. Here is a list of guide questions concerning the type of information that is being sought out, but please add any and all pertinent information.
Regarding the no sound bug...
1. How does it affect your game? Exactly what objects and interactions can you hear and not hear?
2. Do you notice any particular object/interaction that seems to trigger the issue?
3. Are your sound issues consistent? Same missing sounds each and every time, or does it vary?
4. When does it affect your game? The minute your begin playing, or a few hours in?
5. How often your notice the issue? Does the sound come and go, or once it goes is it gone for good for that session?
6. Does the issue occur during every gaming session?
7. What, if anything, do you remember doing different during a session when you do not appear to have the issue that day?
8. Does being logged in or not logged in to your account make a difference in the frequency of the no sound issue?
9. Does this issue only affect your game, once a sim in the singing career reaches a certain level?
10. Have you had the issue the entire time that you have played The Sims 3 Showtime EP, or did the issue just recently begin?
