@spkylady58 - Not sure what you mean by deleting everything from the x86 directory. Do you mean in the Windows Registry or the actual Program Files (x86) folder? TS3 is a 32-bit only application and Program Files (x86) is where it gets installed no matter which type of installation it is.
It should be noted that this computer is underpowered to be running TS3 with all Expansion Packs (the Stuff Packs don't really matter). It is possible, although it seems unlikely, that with all EPs it just isn't getting enough resources to process sound. If this is a laptop, does it make any difference if it is plugged in for power vs. running on battery? And does it help at all if you change the sound output choices around, as in internal vs. external speakers or headphones?
