[Cube] No more powerup chime for me...

[John Bryan]

My Cube with Tiger, even after the update to 10.4.1, still has this  
problem with startup chime.  It is just barely barely audible.  If  
you are not listening for it you would miss it.  Other sounds are  
ok.  My understanding is that the startup chime is built into the  
ROM, so am thinking it is some software/driver thing with 10.4 on  
this hw config, stock G4-450 Cube, 832 MB RAM, with replacement  
graphics card for the fried BTO OEM Radeon it came with.

Was wondering if anyone having the same problem had found out  
anything more ??
