You mean there is no sound "after" you login?

I fail to see any relation with that fact (no sound) and the bootloader 
being located in a floppy disk or SuperGrubDisk so I would investigate 
first why the sound stopped from working.

OTOH, shouldn't be easier to keep the bootloader installed natively into 
the hard disk, either MBR or first sector of a partition rather than in a 
floppy disk?
