  • KellyCKnight​  You don't need to delete any files.  Instead, rename the Sims 3 folder in Documents > Electronic Arts.  This will prevent the game from reading the files inside, but the data will be intact and usable again later.  In the interim, the game will create a new Sims 3 folder with no content.

    If this doesn't help, you can delete the new Sims 3 folder, change the old one's name back to "The Sims 3." and move on to other troubleshooting approaches.  I would suggest trying a different sound output device that uses a different type of connection, for example built-in speakers vs. headphones connected via jack or USB.  Make sure no other sound devices are connected while you're testing, other than built-in speakers of course.  Let me know if one of the devices works.
