Audio Stream

Cookingpup99

Okay, so I'm curious (and also slightly concerned) but why does Origin/The Sims 4 need to receive an Audio Stream, and what even is an Audio Stream?

DeKay

I've never heard of this? Where are you getting from?

Here's what's coming up every time I try to play...

Hello
Do you press " allow now" and then does Origin run okay?
If it is working okay after clicking " allow now" , you can tick the box " remember this sequence" and the pop up message won't be shown again.

I've never gotten that before but thank you for the screenshot. Is that like your internet security thing or what? I don't think it matters if you choose to block it or allow it cuz in The Sims 4, you don't need audio stream.
My guess is that there are some games on Origin that would access your microphone and stuff like that, but not TS4.

@rosemow Yes, I could do that, but I'm just slightly concerned about why it needs to receive an audio stream and what an audio stream even is Thank you anyway
@DeKay You're welcome Ah, I didn't realize it worked if I just blocked it, little concerned because I have just been clicking allow because I figured it was safe, but hopefully it's safe anyway. Thank you for your help

You're welcome . It is good to be cautious.
