Code to silence the startup chime on Intel-powered Macs
Used this on a early 2008 Macbook Pro 15". Now I have no sound whatsoever. Not even on my Windows Boot Camp section... The sound worked fine yesterday evening when I was watching a movie, put the lid down for the night and came back in the morning to find a completely mute computer. I've removed the files from /Library/Startupfiles and rebooted and shut down the computer all together. No help... Can anyone tell me how I might enable the sounds again?

I assume you mean Anyway, what did you already try? Hit the volume buttons, change Sound through System Preferences, reset PRAM and NVRAM (which in fact uses the sound, which you then might not hear the first time, but when not releasing the keys it will just reset again and maybe you'll then hear it it the second time)? Or maybe use one of the preference panes mentioned above? On my Intel MacBook 10.5.6., on which I did NOT use this tip, I get: sudo nvram SystemStartupSound nvram: Error (-1) getting variable - 'SystemStartupSound' So, I assume there's no default value for this setting. sudo -d SystemStartupSound
Let us know!

Also note robg's comment: "It was written for 10.4, and 10.5 uses a different startup task mechanism, but this one should still work fine". |
