Thanks Dana. This G5 is pre-Intel, 1995, so it can't have anything to do with Intel design. But yes, this G5 has both the external and the internal speakers working at the same time, no matter what is plugged into any audio port. As I said, I have a pair of external speakers plugged into the speaker port in the back of the tower, and I have a headset plugged into the headset port on the front of it, but I still get sound coming out of both of them AND from the internal speaker. If I lower the volume in the Sound prefs panel, it lowers it in everything. I just can't shut up that internal speaker.
So, I'll let a little more time pass in case someone else stops by here with a solution, but if it turns out there's no other way to do it, I'll open up the box and unplug the internal speaker, as you suggest, if that's what it takes to shut it up. Not only does the startup chime annoy everyone around here, but when I do video editing all that sound comes out of the external speaker as well, so there's no peace and quiet for anyone nearby.
