Mute the startup sound using a logout hook
great hint. 2 thoughts:
this writes the change to /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plistif it were instead written to the users com.apple.loginwindow.plist file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist would this instead implement this only on a per user basis? that would be nice. also instead of writing an applescript to 'unmute' the sound couldn't you just write a loginhook? is the code for that just 'LoginHook' instead of 'LogoutHook'?

well couldn't get the loginhook to unmute the volume, even when i tried something like the script below to not 'mute' the sound but make it inaudible:

I thought I was having the same problem, but it turns out that volume level 5 is the second lowest effective volume setting. Everything between 0 and 4 inclusive turn off the sound (at least for this particular Powerbook).
So try set volume 5. That's what I did for my loginhook and it works.

I've noticed that if you're using fast user switching, and you log out of an account, let the account do it's 120 second countdown and switch to another account while the countdown is still running, your volume will be reduced to 0. |
