If Apple accessibility is correct and it is considered to be a sound
effect, hopefully there will indeed be a volume for effects in general as
e. T. is suggesting.
will find out on Thursday.

Actually, with the startup sound, I don’t even know if you can change the
volume. Maybe in terminal, but I don’t think I can even change the volume level
of VO on the logon Screen that you get with File Valt and I don’t think I could
last time I had it in recovery mode, though that was a while back so I could be
wrong on that one.

I am not interested in doing this in the terminal, although I imagine
Johnathan's information will help someone.
Instead I am interested in where the settings for system volume are located.
I intend on Thursday to have sighted help adjust this setting, I am not solid
enough in voiceover as of yet to do this, we are still optimizing my computer
for my use.

Hi,
You can use:
sudo nvram StartupMute=%00
To enable the startup chime on a Mac where it has been muted. Remember that in
Terminal, when you use the “sudo” command, you will be asked to enter your
password if you’re an Admin of the computer. There will be no audio feedback
when entering this password in Terminal like you would here in regular
situations. If you’re not in an Admin account, you will not be able to use this
command.
HTH.

On mac's that do not have startup chime, you can still enable it in the
terminal app with a command that examines and changes nvram settings for the
computer. I think it might have been Alex Hall that posted the recipe to turn
this on. Or perhaps a man --- c nvram will pull up the sntax. My mac is a
couple 100 miles away so can't be very specific.

Hi,
If your volume is set low, then, yes, the startup chime will normally be set
low as well. Are you saying that when you restart, or startup your computer
from scratch, you do not hear any startup chime?

Hi Tim,
My understanding is that this is the very last Mac os before big shore, which
may be why the sound is missing.
As i am profoundly new to all this, I want to insure I have it, was never a
windows user so all this boot time makes me crazy laughs.
What about turning up the sound if needful?

Hi,
The startup chime was a computer specific item in that model of Mac. That is,
the startup chime should still work normally on that device without any
intervention in System Preferences. I’m willing to be corrected, but I also
believe that the checkbox that they’re speaking of was not present in Catalina,
only Big Sur and newer.
No, it will not make that sound upon opening the lid as it is a chime that is
sounded as part of the boot process. In older Macs, before it was removed, it
doubled as kind of a system check. If you heard that noise, then the hardware
was OK, and it should proceed to bring up the MacOS, unless the drive was a
problem.
HTH.

hi everyone,
I have a mid 2012 15 inch macbook pro retina now running os 10.15.7 Catalina.
I recall the discussion about the apple start up sound being removed, was told
by apple accessibility that this is corrected by accessing system preferences,
sound, sound effects, and making sure there is a checkbox beside start up sound.
What I do not recall though is how one insures the start up sound volume is
turned up, something I want to know just in case.
Also, if the start up sound is provided, does it also happen when awakening
the mac, opening the lid?
Thanks,
Karen
