    I usually turn my volume really low or even mute it before shutting down my mbp, and when I turn on my mbp, the startup chime will be as loud as that volume level.

    Yesterday, I used onyx to clean up some of the preferences,etc. Now, it doesn't matter if I mute the volume before shutting down, the start-up chime will always be there at the same level.

    Does anyone have any experience how to solve this?

    Thanks!

    PS: I rather not download the startup sound preference program if i really dont have to.
    PS: Nvm, got the fix, thanks anyway :)

    When I muted my volume before, it was with the speaker plugged in. So I unplug the speaker, and adjusted the internal speakers volume accordingly. The start up volume is based on the internal speakers setting.
