Hello,

I have this problem whereby the games controls (keyboard, mouse and xbox controllers) stops working/responding roughly 5-10 minutes into playing and while I'm in different places. I can only get out by selecting CTRL+ALT+DEL and I've spent hours trying to resolve this issue today.

Changing musicenabled=1 to =0 in the Oblivion.ini gets around this issue! However, no music! I don't have this issue playing other games with similar engine (Skyrim, FO3 and FNV). Somehow music is interfering with my controls.... I don't know much about computers but I don't understand how music can effect controls :S.. but I'm not an expert.

According to the FAQ on this forum, the K-Lite Codec pack is supposed to sort out this issue. I downloaded and installed the 32bit Mega version and the 64bit version (I have Win 7 64bit) and installed both as suggested on codecguide.com. I previously did not have ffdshow installed on my computer but K-Lite installed it, so I made sure that Oblivion.exe was on the exceptions list. This didn't fix the problem. I have also uninstalled DivX codec pack and uninstalled both of the K-Lite codec packs and I still have the problem. I cannot find Vodei on my computer so this is not the culprit.

I don't know what to do! This is the strangest issue I've ever encountered in my PC 'career'. Why is my hardware being effected by music? Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening? The only mods I have installed are the Unofficial Patch and Oblivion Stutter Remover but I had the issue before I used these so I they are not the problem.

Please help!

My Specs;

Intel i5-2500k @ 4.2Ghz
ASUS GTX 580 DirectCU II
8GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM
850W Corsair Gold PSU
Win7 64bit

Oh my motherboard came with Realtek HD Audio drivers already installed on them and I updated them today and it didn't help.
