Except that the "System" resets the volume to the default minimum
allowed setting at startup. In other words you cannot mute the
startup sound.
Robert:
It is very disheartening that Apple has overlooked this obvious annoyance.
What an easy fix it would be for the OS developers. Surely I am not the only
person annoyed by this.
You say that we cannot mute the startup chime. I think this is incorrect.
When I turn the volume to zero manually (apple, control panel, volume) prior
to shutdown, I hear no chime at startup. Perhaps the problem you describe
applies only to a setting of "mute" rather than "zero"?
Admiringly, Paul
Paul,
you use a PowerBook, don't you? The startup chime will not sound on a
muted PowerBook, but last I checked it will sound on all desktops,
always (excepting something in the sound out jack overriding).
