Unlike many folks, I LIKE the startup chime. The thing is, since upgrading to Tiger my 15" Aluminum Powerbook produces the startup chime about 50% of the time with no rhyme or reason as to why it does not sound. The volume is always up. Anybody else noticed this? I've done a full hardware check, reset power manager, reset PRAM, repaired permissions, repaired the disk (no errors), etc. It just doesn't make sense as to why I can't get a chime every time I reboot or startup. Any thoughts?

I've noticed the same thing too. I'm not sure it happens as often as 50% of the time, but it does happen.
I can't imagine though what it has to do with Tiger. Shouldn't that be the bios? Tiger shouldn't start loading until later I think...

If you mute the speakers before shutting off your Mac, you won't hear the chime the next time you start up. Could this be what you are experiencing?

Maybe it has to do with the way that the Powerbooks automatically "sleep" their audio-out after a certain amount of audio inactivity? Maybe the slight delay in turning the audio back on is just long enough to miss the chime?

Done. About a month ago I reformatted and reinstalled from the original 10.4 DVD. I then downloaded the 10.4.2 combo update and installed.

Not muted at all, thanks though.

I agree with you. I'm really not blaming Tiger, but it never did this while I was running Panther. I can't imagine what changed in the BIOS or what is causing this. I'm only hoping it does not forbode a hardware problem. The tests run clean.
