eMac start-up sound

[derekamoss]

Does anyone know why when I start up my eMac the start up sound does not come on??? thanks for the help

if you turned the volume down on your computer before you shut it down then there is no sound, it does this with all macs.

yeah all macs do that don't worry

When I turn the volume down or mute the speaker in my PM7600/132 and restart it the chime still comes on quietly

I might have just imagined this, but I thought I had read something that said that there is no start up chime on the eMacs, and some other computers. I might have imagined this, but I could have sworn I read that somewhere...

Oh God... Im getting senile and I am only 15.

i thought the only way to disable the startup chime completely was to have something in the headphones/speaker jack... could be wrong tho.. so it could be hardware, there's a little switch that tells the computer if something's plugged in...

by the way, i have to say again that one of the things i miss most about classic macs were the different chimes. the 6100s were my favorite... that "twang"...

You must have read it in "Imaginary Magazine." I just started one up in the campus Mac lab, and the startup sound graced me with its presence. I'm not sure about others though. I think all Macs have the startup sound.
