Hey,
I was wondering anyone else had this problem as well. I don't the startup sound when I turn my Mac on these days, pretty much ever since the 10.3.5 update.
I ran disk utility and repaired my permissions and I get this....
We are using special permissions for the file or directory ./System/Library/Filesystems/cd9660.fs/cd9660.util. New permissions are 33261
It always fixes it, and it always seems to occur. Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

No worries mate! 
So this shouldn't be something I should be worrying about?

While this isn't the question of this post, it made me remember a great little freeware I found for a problem awhile ago, called StartupSound:
http://www5e.biglobe.ne.jp/~arcana/S.../index.en.html
On my G5 with kick butt speakers, starting up was often a house foundation rocking event. The startup chime would wake the entire family. StartupSound prevents that from happening by giving a maximum to the start up sound. Very well written, stable, and free.

Try resetting your nvram. Boot the machine while holding down option-command (aka "The Apple Key")-o-f. You should see a white screen with little black text. Enter the following:
reset-nvram
(then hit return)
reset-all
(then hit return)
Your Mac will reboot, and you should now hear the startup chime.

Oneota, you saved my life.
I ran MenuMeters and found that one of my 256 wasn't running. Freaked out, I reset my nvram, and not only did the 256 reappear, but the startup sound came back on.
Thanks a ton.
