1 second music loop problem
So I have a problem which happens after 15-20 minutes of playing the game which is the music loop. I have made a video illustrating the problem:

https://youtu.be/8IJ2ZtzEBG8

As you can see (and hear) 1st second of the music track is looped. Also, the bug also continues into main menu. Only temporary fix is restarting the game every 15 minutes (which is really, really annoying).
The same problem happens in the Oblivion game too.

Only mods I have installed are Project Nevada, 4GB, NVSE, weapon sounds (but the bug happened before installing this one) and texture pack.

Anyone got idea what could be the fix? It has to be because of my PC (maybe codecs or something...).

Specs:
Windows 10 64-bit
i7-7700K
16GB RAM
GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
Gigabyte Z270-HD3P motherboard

All drivers are up to date.

Not surprised about Oblivion, since they are the same engine.

This is a codec issue that can affect people randomly and also almost guaranteed to pop up after a large Win10 update. (Well, *a* codec issue is bound to pop up then, not this particular version).

The traditional way to fix it is to reinstall your sound card drivers. It has a low success ratio, but that is pretty much all you can do apart from praying that it eventually somehow goes away (which it can do).

Yeah, I have reinstalled drivers when I was updating them, 2 times since the bug occured. I'll try uninstalling all codec packs later and see if this helps something

Codec packs are unneeded for ages anyway, you can play anything with only VLC/PotPlayer/KMPlayer/similar standalone media station installed. The only codec one would ever need nowadays is maybe LAV Filters, they can play high-definition videos with a lot less CPU load.

Don't forget that after you remove the codec packs, you will need to reinstall sound drivers again and maybe even reconfigure your speaker setup in Windows.

So, uninstalling ALL codec packs and then reinstalling drivers worked. Played for 2-3 hours and didn't encounter any music looping. Yay
