just as title says, im in a room with a wall speaker and the next room over I have a small stereo on a stand playing music yet Im not getting a moodlet. No music symbols either. Any idea why this may be?

Only my main futuristic looking audio device seems to work with the wall speaker, not my smaller ones that go on stands. But all those that dont work are labeled 'stereo' just as the description for the wall speaker says?

I don't think I've ever had those things work reliably or for very long.

But worth checking, can a sim with a high level of Handiness do a repair or upgrade on it?

yeah an upgrade. I started it on the last speaker just out of desperation but i deleted it before i completed thinking a new one might be better, no dice on that. Ill try the upgrade next

I've always had trouble with the wall speakers not working with the portable stereos never was able to figure out how to fix
They seem to only work with the floor stereos

yeah the upgrade didnt help

I'll taking my vacation starting Thurs I'll look through the games core files and see if I can find anything
But I can't make any promises that I will find something. I've bookmarked this thread if I do find something I'll post back here.

whoa awesome dude

By any chance are you trying to play channel Custom Music with your own collection of MP3's through your Stereo? Usually that channel breaks the whole setup, where both the stereo and wall speakers will play musical animation but no sound.
Its been like that ever since the wall speaker has been introduced. As far as I know there is just one solution you can try, is to have your own MP3 files played on a different channel, but will require a mod, also all MP3's needs to be made with a bit rate of 128kbps.
If you want to try this read this page for further instructions: <a href="http://nraas.wikispaces.com/GamePlayFAQ ... Music">FAQ Custom Music</a>.

If you don't want to, remove all the wall speaker's, switch off the stereo and turn it back on, everything should be back to normal then.

Ah I forgot custom music can cause that.
If it's not custom then I don't know what is causing it I found the files I was looking for pretty quickly and they should be able to use them if their not like which seems to always happen to me might be bug or something
