[G4] Re: Start up Chime

[Harry Freeman]

Open MacTracker if you have it and select the G4 you have and check the 
sound that you platform should make.

StartupSound.prefPane is the software which controls the volume of the 
startup sound of your Macintosh computer. StartupSound.prefPane mute 
the startup sound without changing the output volume setting. And 
StartupSound.prefPane limits the startup volume so that it may not 
become loud even if you make the output volume louder. To set up the 
startup volume, you select the "Startup Sound" pane added to the 
"System Preferences."
