startup sounds keeps on looping on bootup

[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.

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

Welcome to Mint ayanph
You have done the right thing and posted details of your laptop - especially laptops are hopeless to find out anything about on the net as what seems to be one laptop very often are two entirely different computers.
But - there is nothing about your sound
Run lspci in a terminal and post the part that has to do with sound.
I think this is a mixed hard/software problem

Thanks Husse for the reply. I was busy trying to make my 3D graphics working in Mint and got it thanks to the info I get from this forum. I even posted what I did to resolve it having an ATI Radeon 200M video card. Hehehe! I will definitely post the information as soon as I get home and will wait for any info / suggestion from the group. Cheers! I love Linux Mint!

Ouch - it's ATI sound, no experience with that
And sadly I did not find anything useful, but the search will continue given that I have the time needed
