"It" vs "its"; "sound" vs "sound's"
I need some help in regard to the following sentence that I read in Nov-Dec 2016 issue of Skeptical Inquirer:
"Despite it being casually referred to as "music", there's no mention of the sound having any characteristics of music..."
Shouldn't the pronoun be "its" and the noun, "sound", be "sound's"
Thank you very much for your help.

Selvakumar Shouldn't the pronoun be "its" and the noun, "sound", be "sound's" ? Yes, if you want something very formal, but the versions without the possessive markings are also OK in less formal styles. CJ
