Hello,

Ever since I installed the latest version of the Upgrade mod, I get a "music sound loop bug" which involves the music stopping at one point and repeating that point over and over again with no way of stopping it.

Does anyone else have this problem and know how to prevent it, please?

I reported the same issue, but with mine, it just gets stuck on whatever note(s) are playing at any given moment and stays stuck. The only cure is to exit the game and restart at the moment.

Hello,
Does this happen with a clean install of the game?

This was an issue that existed for many years but was worked around. The problem with that it caused FPS to be lower than it could be.
So Jeremy updated the sound area to remove this bug and we could get higher FPS.
We believed the issue had been resolved and it seems it has for all but a few. Maybe it's happening on some sound cards?

As suggested above and for using the XWAU Mega Patch, backup any pilot files or other important stuff, reinstall XWA fresh and then install 2020 and the Update 1.

I am seeing this as well. on a fresh install. For me it is definitely a loop of last 2 notes heard, with restart to solve. Appears to be very random, as in does not occur every time a mission is played or in any particular mission.
