Disabling Boot Sound

Hi everyone,
Was wondering if anyone know how to disable the short apple boot sound at the start up with the white screen and the apple logo. I noticed that on Mac books even if a pair of headphones are connected during booting, the boot sound still plays through the speakers.

There are at least 3 apps made to stop the startup chime. I think none of them yet work with Intel Macs. Who knows when they'll be updated or if it's possible with Intel Macs:

How to disable boot jingle, and beep upon removal of power adapter, on U330

hey ya'll, so I've been trying to figure out how to turn off the boot jingle, and really loud beep when you plugin/unplug the power supply, on the ideapad u330. I've checked the bios, and there's nothing there that pertains to the noises, nor can I find anything within vista.
any suggestions?
thanks!
My ongoing U330 review

I'm very much with you on being able to disable these sounds.. Looking around I get the feeling that there is no way, but at least we should make enough noise about it that it is covered in a BIOS update or something.
It is very annoying, particularly the power disconnection sound. It is disturbingly loud and I haven't even used it in public yet. Boy, this is going to be a problem in the library..

Mac Pro boot sound on Cinema display

Hey guys,
Is it possible to run the Mac pro boot sound on my cinema display instead of the Mac pro's build in speakers?
My macbook sounds more agressive than that Mac badboy .
thanks!
-Sam

I think this has been a problem since the beige G3 and an early speaker-equipped Mac display.
The startup chime is produced long, long before the display is configured to accept the data and make it into speaker noises. It is near impossible to make the startup chime come out the display speakers.

Powermac G5 wont boot/no boot sound/no video just flashing led

Ok, I think I have a serious problem, the problem came up when I removed RAM, and befor that computer worked just fine (i have dual powermac G5 2GHz).
And after that to resolve that issue I tried everything:
- reset PRAM;
- reset SMU;
- unpluging everything and holding down power button while connection power cord;
- removing video card and powering up;
- moving RAM around and powering;
And nothing helped. Every time I power up the computer there is no chimne, no video, just falshing led!
So if anyone knows of any else options PLEAS HELP, I came to dead end.
Thanks

I've tried it with cabels unhooked and with new battery, and nothing, same problem no boot sound just flashing light.
After that I also measured the power connector (because earlier I bought a book from PeachPit - Desktop and Portable System, which all I can say is not worth the money, but there is little chapter talking about a power supply verification) and the voltage is correct (+5V), so the power supply is OK.
All I can say is that this was my first powermac and i bought it from second hand so there is no warranty, and in Slovenia there aren't any service technician, the nearest is in Austria. I'm very, very, ...... disappointed about the quality of powermac's (although I bought it from second hand it cost me a lot of money, which I don't have).
I will not buy a new logic board to check if it's solution for the problem, and I'm very enthusiastic about computers, i'll probably leave and eventually sell it for pennies (and lose 1000EUR's, bull **).
The end point is that anyone who is buying a powermac g5 with no warranty, earlier model don't do it!! I don't know about MacPro's.

Disable all sound from application

Hi,
I need to disable all sound or volume from my application upon a button press. I have a html component within my app that i need to be muted, for example if the user loads the youtube website and selects a video, the video should play but without any sound?
Can this be done?
Cheers

I am having a similar problem....didn't recognize it until today....

Take apart the base unit for the Inspire 5400....nope, that's looks ok....plug it all back in....check wiring...plug everything in correctly....test speakers with Creatives software....all sound is now coming out of the front speakers....nothing out of the rear.... I can't figure it out....it is getting late...any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

How do you disable the sound when sending tweets from "Click to Tweet" in the Notification Center?

So, ever since the "Click to Tweet" button appeared, anytime you post to Twitter with it, your heard a bird whistling sound. This was cute at first, but has become increasingly annoying (and probably not just to me, but also to my co-workers). Sure, I could mute my speakers prior to sending, but a.) I usually forget, and b.) I shouldn't have to.
In a similar manner, the "Click to Post" to Facebook button makes the "woosh" noise that Mail.app makes when sending an email.
These sounds should be able to be disabled or muted. The only solution I've found online so far is to move/rename/change permissions of the actual sound file itself on the file system. That seems way to extreme.
In summary: am I just missing some obvious setting, or is there really no way to mute/disable these sounds?

The best way to do this is to leave all files unchanged, but render the file containing that horrendous bird noise unreadable to the system. Open a terminal window, and paste this command:
sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/Frameworks/Social.framework/XPCServices/com.apple.twitter.xpc/C ontents/Resources/TwitterSent.caf
That's it. Your Tweets should hereinafter be silent unless you change TwitterSent.caf's permissions again.

Disabling the sound card in Vi

I'm trying to run integrated sound out of my motherboard to get around an issue with KOTOR II crashing when the sound card is enabled in Vista. I can disable the sound card in the device manager, but that just causes a complete lack of audio everywhere.
How do I get my motherboard to start producing sound after I've disabled the sound card?

Disable onboard sound

How do I disable onboard sound on a KT4 Ultra? I have Bouston Acoustic (sold by gateway) speakers that require Direct Digital Output to work and it does not seem to be supported by c-media. So I have to install my soundblaster Live! Can anyone help me either disable on-board sound or get the on-board to support Direct Digital output?
Thanks

you can uninstall the drivers for the onborad sound. To reinstall your sound blaster remove it from Device Manager and restart your machine and follow the makers instructions, either point the system to the drivers or use the installer, which ever they recommend.

How Do I find the "Disable Click Sound" property in Captivate 7?

My software simulation has very annoying click sounds from the mouse. I have seached the web and found a screenshot of an 'Options' section on the properties tab with a 'Disable Click Sound' checkbox, but my copy of Captivate 7 doesn't have that. What's up? There has to be a place to turn it off! Otherwise it's useless....the clicking drives everyone crazy.

Select the mouse on the slide (or timeline) and deselect the Mouse Click Sound check box from the properties.

Slow OS X boots (without boot sound)

Hi,
I installed boot camp, put an image of a windows drive on the partition using disk utitility (and target disk mode). It didn't work, so I installed it normally (using a disk).
I think it is since then, that my OS X boots are slow and the boot sound has gone?!
Can this be resolved?

Considering what you did, make a backup before you ever install or make changes, clone OS X, and reformat and restore.
You need to use Boot Camp Assitant to partition for Windows, and you need to use program suitable to each OS in order to clone (backup or restore).
CCC, SuperDuper and DU to do OS X clone/restore.
WinClone or Windows native software for XP/Vista.

Disabling boot to disk

Hello,
So I was going to install Windows 7 on a separate partition on my MacBook. I used the start up disk utility under system preferences and selected the disk to boot too. The installer isn't working correctly and I'm unable to eject the disk using the eject button. Now I'm in and endless loop booting into the disk and I can't get back into OSX. Is there a way to disable booting to the disk without being in windows? Please help! I need to have my computer functional by tomorrow

It's not working. I get the "dong" and a white screen. No apple logo. My keyboard also is not lighting up. It seems like the keyboard drivers aren't loading in time to pick up the key press

Disabling Stereo Sound

Hi,
I am partially deaf in one ear and so listening to music with stereo sound through headphones can ruin it, is there any way to disable stereo sound to the headphones jack?
Thanks.

Nevermind I did more digging and found it, follow the path:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, and then click Audio.
Select the “Play stereo audio as mono” checkbox.
Hope this helps someone else.
