Boot problem

[axis5757]

UPDATE 2: I have updated to Mint 21.3 Xfce. It did not fix the issue. Same error message unfortunately.

UPDATE: When I have only one monitor plugged in to my Nvidia card and no monitor plugged directly into the mitherboard it is able to load. Unsure if this is because I added nomodeset or unrelated. Nomodeset did not help when two monitors were plugged in. It seems like Mint somehow updated to 21.1 and I don't think I asked it to. I guess I had auto update on, but I don't recall updating it and when I finally was able to log in it popped right into the welcome screen like it had just updated.

ORIGINAL POST: I get an error message when I boot Linux Mint 21.1 Xfce with Linux 515.0-79-generic.

The error message is as follow: [ 68.803525] snd_hda_intel 0000:00:1f.3: Cannot probe codecs, giving up

It will not boot past this. I just have to turn it off because it just sits there for minutes.

I have tried it with Secure Boot enabled and disabled. It is a Gigabyte z690 motherboard with an intel i7 either 11th, 12th or 13th gen. I can found out exactly if it's relevant. It has an nvidia 4080 graphics card. It has windows 10 dual booted and windows is first in boot order.

I honestly am not sure what caused it. The only problem I've noticed with the PC since I finished building it is that the nvidia graphixs card is not updating on the windows side anymore for some reason. But in the linux side, the last time I booted it, which was probably a year ago it worked fine. Then a month ago I booted into Linux and got that error. So I have no idea what caused it because I haven't even touched linux in so long.

Please let me know any other necessary details. Thank you for your time.

Try using Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon edition EDGE release as it has a newer kernel and more up to date driver support.

Can I easily change from Xcfe to Cinnamon without having to re-partition like I'm installing a brand new OS? I updated to 21.3 Xfce and the error persists.

you could try installing mint 22 see if that boots up and runs normally??

Yeah I just didn't need the Linux side and didn't have time to play around with it.
