i'm incountering a very odd sound bug. when running oblivion. while playing i tend to hear the sound of actovating sotmhign alot. like when you push one of those tiny switches? that "psh" sound. its driving me nuts and i cant figure out whats causing it

hmmm... you mean you hear that "psh" sound during the game? if that is the case try updating your soundcard drivers... If particular sound is always in the back, it might be the souncard drivers...

Alternative to that, in your souncard settings change the performance/quality slider to performance so that way the soundcard may process better... Other then that I am outta ideas sorry...
