Re: sims 3 no sound -> deleting caches doesn't work

Thank you for your reply. I'll get back on the other sound devices...

The Windows Update has these in Optional Updates, will any affect the sound? The game starts and plays just fine otherwise.

Acer Incorporated - HIDClass - 10/5/2017 12:00:00 AM - 8.0.0.2

Insyde Software - Firmware - 3/2/2018 12:00:00 AM - 5.1.1.14

Microsoft - HIDClass - 10/27/2015 12:00:00 AM - 9.9.108.0

Rivet Networks - Net - 8/8/2017 12:00:00 AM 9.0.0.45

I wanted to check before blindly trying these.

Thank you for your time 👍

@legendshonor These are, respectively, a touchpad driver update, a BIOS update, an update for software that supports USB keyboards, and an update for network software. None of them have anything to do with sound, and none of them are critical. If you're seeing issues with one of the features these updates cover, then it's worth installing the update; otherwise, skip them. The philosophy here is not to update your way into a problem that didn't exist before.
