I have sound with everything else on my computer and I can even hear the first sound the the SIms icon pops up on the game but I can't hear anything else while playing. I have updated my device, down...
I have the same problem too, but it's also on my minecraft...
LOL @ previous comments. This is a common problem on systems with multiple audio devices since windows will detect the active device during initialization of applications. The best solution is to deactivate all unnecessary audio devices in your control panel and you may discover devices which you never knew had been installed such as "Nvidia HD Audio" which is installed automatically with unified driver updates.

To disable the device, simply right click on it and select disable, then re-launch your game or multimedia application:

You can prevent installation of these unnecessary devices or uninstall them by choosing the advanced options during driver installation:

Then choosing the components to be updated or removed:

For removal of NVidia software components you must select 'Perform Clean Installation' otherwise the installer will only update the selected components. The 3D Vision and "Geforce Experience" components are unnecessary and can be removed without any concern for game performance or functionality.
