All of the sounds in my Sims 3 game are working except the radio. I can hear my sims speaking, musical instruments being played, even the TV but with the radio there are only musical notes floating from it. I've searched yet haven't found any solutions. The music from build and buy modes plus map view no longer plays. Does anyone have a solution?

* Use 'save as' and save your game under a new name.
* check to see if your audio driver needs updating.
If I find anything else I'll post it here. :-/
Try generating a brand new The Sims 3 folder. The way Crinrict describes here: http://sims3.crinrict.com/en/2011/06/tutorial-resetting-the-game-to-factory-settings-without-reinstalling.html
So, rename the 'The Sims 3' folder in documents to something else. Then run the game to generate a brand new folder. Load the game and a new world and see if you still have the issue.
If the issue is fixed, you know that the problem is something to do with the old folder and you can start troubleshooting to see what it was.
If the sound issue persists then you know it's NOT your folder, and it might be something to do with your computer or the game files on your C: drive.

Don't know if it's the same thing as @esperelda , since my radio isn't always happening.
path my documents/electronic arts/ sims 3
if this works you can move back files from the old but test each move for corruption

if this doesnt work you can put back your old folder and ill keep digging for a solution, i havent seen this issue in a long time and thought it was addressed by a long ago patch
I have been playing on this newly purchased desktop for almost a year now. I got this desktop (eventhough I prefer laptops) so that I could have a more solid foundation to play my game as each laptop kept getting burned out as I added more EPs. The computer is completely updated, in good shape, with only the Sims 3 on it, and the radio sound only stopped within the past month, at the most. No other changes to my computer desktop. I've checked the drivers and they all say they're updated. Lol....I don't know but I thank you so!!!
