Audio Issue: Sims Speech Muffled At Times

[tralaladida]

Has anyone else experienced this? After playing a family for a while, I can barely hear them talking even though I have the speech option maxed in the audio settings of my game. Then it will return to normal for a while, then back to muffled again. :dontknow:

I don't have the greatest sound card in my system, but it isn't too crappy: Soundblaster Audigy LS. I've downloaded the latest drivers for it, but they didn't help.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone else had this issue and if so, how did you correct it.

BTW: In my userstartup cheat file I have the TV and computer volume set to 0, could this be the problem?


Thanks in advance for all your help.
