[G4] Start up tone too loud still

[Donna Dene English]

>

Thanks Jay. I did this because of my infant son but the headphones we 
have are suppose to be hooked up through the USB sound. We remodeled 
the computer room and it is not easy to unhook the head phones and use 
them in the jack on the front of the machine.

Thanks Steff. I downloaded the  "StartupSound.prefPane", it expands and 
when I go to install I get a warning that "Dist Copy helper 
unexpectedly terminated" ???
What to do?


I am getting ready to update to 10.3 will that solve the problem of the 
loud tone?
I want to get external speakers but don't want the tone to rock the 
house.
Thank you,
Donna Dene English
