This bug has multiple workarounds.

Increase the audio file length (that way you do not need to loop). You can use third-party applications such as Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org/) to copy/loop the sound file.
Use DirectShow with the DirectSound API. To change the Codec Config to use DirectShow:

Open Codec Config in E-Studio by going to Tools > Codec Config.
Select the file type under Extensions (e.g. .wav).
Choose File Source (Async.).
Click Choose Codec.
Go to close Codec Config by pressing X in the upper right corner of the window; a prompt should appear to save your configurations.
Click Yes to save your configuration; Codec Config will close.
Navigate to the Experiment Object Property Pages > Devices tab > Sound properties and set the Sound API to DirectSound.
