The startup sound usually is set to the level the system sound is set at 
when the machine is shut down.  So, I would set the system sound level to 
max, restart, and see if it comes back.

Also, make sure that nothing is plugged into the audio-out or headphone 
jack.

Most of the people I know use Macs, and it feels like we¹re a privileged 
minority, though the odd thing is that, unlike Mercedes¹ or BMWs, they 
are not significantly more expensive than the competition. Why does 
anybody use anything else?  -Douglas Adams
