HEY! Me, too. Guess it is not just my machine, then. At first it was behving normally. Then after some time I noticed the startup chime was just barely audible. I checked all the connections, other sounds work ok, etc. It has stayed like this for a couple of weeks now or so. It has not been intermittent. I thought maybe the firmware needs to be updated or something, but apparently not so. I get that same pop when the audio line is hit at boot time. The are the original speakers that came with the Cube, Oct 2000. john b On May 21, 2005, at 7:34 PM, Scott Strungis wrote: > Hi Listers, > > After upgrading to Tiger, I no longer chime at startup.
