   Thanks, Paul.   
      
   I've got the same grandfather clock ticking sounds using MX Linux as I   
   had with Mint, so the only thing I can think of is that perhaps flashing   
   the BIOS will be necessary to fix the sound failure.   
      
   I've read about what to do - but not yet tried to do it!
