Sound problems caused by Sims 3
I don't know if this is the right place for this question but I just thought I'd give it a go because EA don't seem to care about their customers at all. My Sims 3 game has caused a bug where it seems to turn off the sound on my Mac. The volume icon shows that the sound is on but you can't hear anything when you toggle it up or down with the keyboard keys. It happens when I boot the game, in which there's no sound.. and then when I've quit, the sound problem continues for my whole computer until I restart. I only reinstalled the Sims a week ago (because of other in-game bugs - sigh).
I am plugged into some speakers but the same thing happens if I'm not. The game itself is patched to the latest version.
