Hi All, I'm getting a bit desperate so I thought I'd check with the list and see if I'm not alone.
Using Mac OS X 10.1.5 (although the problem may have occurred in 10.1.4 as well). iMac flat-panel 800MHz Harman/Kardon SoundSticks (USB) Apple ProLogic "ball" speakers (speaker jack) Whenever I startup Mac OS X the startup chime is at maximum, and coming through the Apple ProLogic speakers is quite deafening! I've tried setting the volume to a reasonable level, but on restart the startup chime is still maximal. I've read the various reports about setting the volume when booted in Mac OS 9, and its true: on restart into Mac OS X the startup chime is quiet. However, a subsequent reboot into Mac OS X and the startup chime is maximal again. It seems like shutting down in Mac OS X resets the startup chime to full volume. Any suggestions? I've wiped my hard-drive and reinstalled 10.1.5 from scratch once already, and the problem returned. Cheers, Brian
