I also tried installing the pref pane you suggested and it didn't work (or if you're a glass half full kind of person, it DID work since the pref pane was designed to eliminate the startup chime :OP) Maybe I'll find Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster in the process. I think it's going to be a boolean kind of thing where you just turn startup chime on or off. To be honest, I don't think the system audio volume is the issue since my speakers work fine. I tried the following in terminal but it didn't work: Yes, I was searching around and found both of those links. I don't use Universal Access preferences. I wonder if that carries over on restartĪnd stops the startup tone?. The screen blink instead of hearing Alert sounds. PS: In the Universal system preference panel, there is an option in Hearing to make (Oh, we're heading into sub-zero ☏ temps again, here not including a chill factor.)

Too many non-computer interrupts around here for me to 'wrap my head around' thinking!Ĭould you have tried something such as a "log-out hook" as described in Mac OSX Hints? OS, so the error may be in part of the system prior to your normal access control over it. If there is a defect in the startup sequence regarding the lack of the start-up tone, it mayīe something addressable in a single-user boot mode. There may be some single-user mode or Terminal command to toggle the tone off/on. Normally, muting before a normal shut-down should disable the start-up tone on restart. Maybe someone with another idea on how to restore startup chime tone will reply?

i've considered an archive and install but, as I understand it, the chime sounds before any of the OS has even loaded. it seemed pointless but I cleared all 3 of my caches folders i did not install anything that allows you to manage the startup chime the macbook is not muted before shutdown internal speakers work fine I have no headphones connected

I tried a safe boot to verify and repair the disk PRAM reset produces no chimes the screen goes blank in lieu of chimes I vaguely remember doing it on purpose but I have no recollection of what it is I did and there doesn't seem to be any option for doing that in the system preferences. How do I enable my startup chime? I've done a fair amount of research and the majority of info is regarding people who want to DISable their startup chime.
