OK. This is minor.

Vista preloaded with a Dell desktop. Home Premium.

On turn on, the very first sound, when the round MS logo comes on screen, there is sound/music/tune - whatever that is called. Very short.

Mine has sound/tune but is garbled. Anyway to fix this? Or even change the initial sound at turn on or reload/fix the MS logo sound on turn on?

This is the first, first, first sound that one hears on turn on of computer.

Everything else works flawlessly. All other sounds are good and correct.

Do you have a way to reinstall the sound card driver. If so, you can try this: Computer > Properties > Device Manager > Sound, video and game controller > Right-click the audio device and select Uninstall > Restart Vista and reinstall the sound device driver

This happens when there is a conflict with the Windows Startup Sound and Windows Logon Sound its not a driver problem cause this happened on my machine from time to time and my audio drivers were fine.

To disable Windows Startup sound

Right click desktop > Personalize > Sounds

There is a box with a list of all the Windows sounds and underneath there is a checkbox labelled, play Windows Startup sound, untick it.

I am guessing that this turns it off. Any way to fix the garbled first sound?

Or is it a sound card problem?

Turn the sound (start-up one) off (reboot) and back on (reboot)? Might work?

Thank you for responding.

No go. Tried 3 times.

Initial sound still garbled.

Have you checked in device man that all your drivers are installed and ok?( PS: I know someone said before but why not give it another check)

I would try Ewans idea of turning off the start up sound. Does that help? Also, in the sounds menu you can play the log on sound. If it sounds odd there then it may just be a corrupt sound file. If it is we should be able to attach a copy of an uncorrupted one for you.
