    The stereos are showing signs of being on in the game but no sound is coming from them. The game gives me the option to turn on the stereos when moved the pointer over them. I have tried to debug them, replacing them, even sending the sim to another lot, and back again. I have come out of the game to the main menu, and back in again. I have even backed out of the game entirely, and did a repair. And nothing seem to work so far. I'm about to start a new game to see if the problem remains.

      The same here, it does play music when it is on, but when it is turned off, it still has the animation of sound coming through.

      I had just started a new game, and the problem remains.

      Does it affect toddlers in anyway - in terms of their interaction with a stereo?

      I don't know, I have no sims that are toddlers in any of my games at this time. They are either older or still on their way in my games at this time.

      Quick workaround: Go to buy mode, sell the stereo, then press the undo button and go back to live mode. The animation will disappear after a second.

      I'm having the exact same problem. Seams like a glitch with the update..

      I can't reproduce the workaround :(

      I'll have to try that. Thank you for sharing the work around tip here. :)

      Hmm, I tried it with too big stereo models and it worked perfectly. Have you turned the stereo off before selling and re-selling it?

      PS: The workaround doesn't fix the problem permanently, it just cancels the ugly yellow silent-music animation until the next time.

      This one I know for certain was a result of today's game patch. Otherwise I would have noticed this in my game by now.

      But what if the stereo was already turned off?

      My stereo is on all the time without option to turn it off :( I sold it, purchase it again, nothing helps.

      Ok, I don't have this bug. I still can turn the radio off. The music stops, but a giant yellow "notes animation" remains. This can be stopped by selling + undo button.

      Thanks for the reports everyone, we're seeing this too :)
      Thank you for chiming in SimGuruNick. It reassures us that are experiencing this in our games that the Sims Team see it too, and is on the case. :)

      Yep, tried that. Didn't work for me.

      Out of curiosity, was the visual stereo notes animation updated? It seems different. Or maybe I just paid closer attention to it now.

      I did some further testing and could reproduce my workaround with all stereo models.

      It is essential that you undo the selling in buy mode with the small arrow next to the "delete hammer". Buying a new stereo from the catalogue will not stop the animation.
