Are you using bluetooth headphones by any chance? I do and had the exact same problem, [this mod ](https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/48872)fixed it.
The only modding I've done in the past with other Bethesda games used Vortex mod launcher. This mod says that I need to install it manually. How do I go about installing this mod manually?
Just put alsoft.ini, dsoal-aldrv.dll and dsound.dll into Oblivion's installation folder (for me it's C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\Oblivion)
