Disabling the "Bong" sound at start up

Is there anyway to disable/turn off the "Bong" sound from playing when I turn on the computer. Or at least control the volume.

    Hi,
    that limits the choices drastically
    Best two solutions there are either StartupSound.prefpane of Psst, but both are additions to the System Preferences which could qualify them as 'tweaks'.
    You might wanna try the 'Audio-Midi-Setup.app' from the Applications/Utilities folder and in the lower left click on the Mute-Button of the Master Volume.
    But that will also mute all other sounds.
    Regards

  • No bong sound on start-up

    I've had this new MB Pro for a few months. A couple days ago I started it up and no bong sound on start-up. It's not a big deal but I wonder why that would happen and what it means. Could I have disabled it somehow? I don't recall messing around in preferences but maybe some accidental shortcut from flailing fingers mighta.

    Have you used headphones or external speakers?
    Resetting the PRAM may help. Info here:

    How can I disable the startup sound on the Droid Turbo?

    I was going to suggest doing the Following from the Link I added below to see if Silence Mode would silence the power up but on my Droid Maxx it does not the start up Droid is still present so I'm not really sure there is an option to silence it.
    The First Link is for the ( Ultra Droid Maxx and Mini)  the Second Link is for the Droid Turbo. the instructions for the two style of phones are the same..  as far as I could tell

  • How do I disable the startup sound on macbook pro 7,1?

    I need to disable the startup sound on the macbook pro 7,1 running 10.6.8.  If anyone can give me info I would appreciate it.

    Look for Startup Sound on Macupdate.com
    You really shouldn't turn it off, as if there is a error you won't be able to hear the beep codes.
    However you can lower the volume.

  • How do I disable the onboard sound in CMOS?

    I have a KT4 Ultra, and I want to disable the onboard sound so I can use my own Soundblaster card.  How do I do this?  I've looked through the BIOS, and nothing seems to stand out.  Do I have to do it on the board itself?

    I just downloaded the KT4 Ultra book and will run you thorugh what you have to do....
    Your board has "C-Media 8738MX 6-channel audio with SPDIF out" so you will have to disabled it in Bios if you want to use a PCI sound card.
    1.  Reboot your PC and press "DELETE" to enter Bios.
    2.  Select "Integrated Peripherals"
    3.  Scroll down until you see "OnBoard PCI Controller" and then "Audio Controller".  (It's last on the list!).
    4.  Select "DISABLED"
    5.  Select "SAVE & EXIT SETUP".
    6.  Turn off your PC.
    7.  Put your new PCI Sound Card in...I recommend PCI Slots 2-5.  Try to keep PCI 1 and 6 clear....
    8.  Reboot.  Your OS will go into "FOUND NEW HARDWARE".  Wait until it's done.  
    9.  Put your new PCI Sound card driver CD in and load the new drivers....REBOOT.

  • How do I disable the onboard Sound card in BIOS on the Equium A200

    I am using a Creative Sound Blaster external soundcard but the recording level is very low and have been advised by Creative to disable the onboard sound card in BIOS but there is no option to do this. Can anyone help ?

    Hi
    You cannot disable it in the BIOS.
    If you want to disable the sound card you can do this in the device manager!
    cheers

  • Is there a terminal command to disable the "Boing' sound ?

    Hello, Everyone
    I was wondering if any one knows if there is a terminal command that can
    be used to disable the "boing" sound that folders and files make (in Tiger)
    as they are being moved about the desktop and or into finder windows.
    A couple of people have looked in the System preferences,usual areas but
    can not locate the file for this "Boing" sound. If any one knows I would love
    the answer. TIA for reading this & any help.; )

    Mine doesn't make a sound when I do this.
    I presume you have unchecked the "Play user interfacesound effects" > in System Preferences> Sound. The other OP wants to disable only the infamous boing. I found both the files you wrote of. Thank you very much !
    I just needed to summarize this & then undoing if so desired.
    Bill, please what would the command be for undoing this action ?
    Launch Terminal and type this: sudo gzip
    enter ~~
    password prompt,
    then this : /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/ScreenReader.framework/Versions/A/Resources/S ounds/SpringForward.aiff
    Is this correct ?
    Thanks so very, very much for your expertise, patience and sharing it with me.~ Eme

  • How can I disable the notification sound for remaining credit messages

    My operator sends me a message after every call and text which tells me what remains of my monthly allowances. This is very useful and I don't want to turn it off. I've just got myself a Z10 and the only thing that annoys me about it is that I have not yet found out how to disable the notification sound for this type of message. The device is stock with the latest firmware and no apps.
    I can change the notification for normal text messages in the settings, but there is no obvious entry to change for these messages. Does anyone know how to do it?

    If the message comes in the (bell) notifications it can only be switched OFF globally.
    If it is a text message, you can create a contact with the number, then Setting - Notifications - Contacts - Customise - Phone Calls, Email Messages, Text Messages, Other Messaging

  • How to eliminate the "Ping" sound when starting and stopping videoing

    How to eliminate the "ping" sound when starting and stopping a video on iPhone.  Thanks.

    I asked my friends on Facebook and one came up with the answer... I just had to flip the little "ring-silent switch" on the side of the iPhone to cut the "Pinging" sound!  There's probably another way but this works!
