  • @sheena425  First of all, please make sure that you haven't accidentally disabled the audio within the EA App.  Open your game library, click Sims 4, select Manage > View properties, and look at the command line box.  If you see -nosound , delete it.

    If that's not the problem, please try a different sound output device, for example built-in speakers vs. headphones connected via jack.  Unplug the one that's not working, if it isn't built-in, and restart your computer, then plug in the one you want to test.

    If that doesn't help either, please run a dxdiag and attach it to a post.
