Sims 2 Sound Issue

auntiecoagulant

My Sims 2 game runs fine visually, no slowing, stuttering, freezing, etc. However after about say, 10 minutes (more or less) the sound just cuts off. The game goes along fine otherwise. I have uninstalled/reinstalled the game, updated my sound card drivers as well as Direct X.
