Looping sounds at startup / No sounds

[ayanph]

Hi I don't know if you've experienced this but when I installed mint on my MSI computer I get this problem where the startup sound keeps on looping.

There would be times that there's no startup sounds but everything seems to be working when I get to my desktop.

Any suggestions? I'm kinda new to FOSS and would really love to learn.

Subukan niyo ayusin sa Sound Preference, Tanggalin sa Autodetect.

Dude pareho tayo ng problem.... ganyan din Laptop ko may problema pa yata sa gutsy (7.10) yan.. naginstall ako fiesty (7.04) yun! naayos yung looping sound problem.... try mo nalang muna install ng fiesty. hehehehehe....

[ayanph]

hehehe! magtitiis na muna siguro ako... hindi naman palagi may problem sana mafix na sa susunod na release.

[ayanph]

It fixed itself... it's no longer looping. I guess they fixed it already... i regularly download updates kasi.

[ayanph]

it came back. anyway i was looking for articles online and saw a number of users with this laptop having the same problem. will either downgrade back to ubuntu 7.04 where it doesn't happen or will try other distos like opensuse or mandriva or gOS.

[ayanph]

I downgraded back to 7.04 and the problem dissappeared

Also found this article on how to resolve this for MSI laptop

Fresh install ba yung Heron mo or upgraded?

[Nhatz]

ayanph... dude solved na yang problem sa MSI notebooks. sa bagong kernel ang problem. install mo yung Linux-386 then ok na sya.


sudo apt-get install linux-386
