live in a small apt, and usually am forced to do my audio werk in headphones most of the time so as to not disturb my flatmates. But whenever restarting my Power Mac g4 dual 1Ghz, it blasts that uber loud startup orchestral hit,,, you know the one?
*Bup Baaaaaaa!!!!* How the hell do I safely disable just that hellishly LOUD racket from my macs internal sound card or whatever? I DO have an M-audio delta series as my main audio card for all my music production, but also occassionally use the Mac's stock card for certain apps as well, so I do not what to totally disable that card,, Just somehow tweek the firmware or whatever that's responsible for that startup blast that's waking the dead. any ideas on this one? |

In response to ROBBO's problem, there is a separate volume control for alerts in the 'Sound' system preference ('Sound' control panel in OS9 and earlier). You can set that volume to mute, and instead of sounding the 'boink', it will just blink the menu bar.
I don't think that has any effect on the startup chime, but I don't feel like restarting my machine right now to test it! Turning down your Mac's volume will affect the volume of the startup chime, so maybe muting your volume will mute the startup chime too? Or at least turning it down as far as it will go will keep the windows from rattling when you start it up. |
