Karen,
Look on the Sound Effects tab near the bottom of that window.

what I am still missing is where one changes the system volume itself.
I understand that about voiceover volume, but the start up sound is a
system volume effect, and unless I missed a post, the details for
adjusting system volume have not been shared?

Hi,
Basically, sound effects are at the same volume as the system. So,
if you have your volume set to 50%, then the sound effects will also
be played at 50%. VoiceOver has its own level that is changed with
the system volume, but it depends on where VO volume is set to begin
with. For example, you can use the rotor to decrease the volume of VO
in reference to the system volume. Pressing VO-cmd-shift-left or
right until you hear VO announce “Volume”, then keeping the
VO-cmd-shift keys down and pressing the down or up volume will only
change the VoiceOver volume. Thus, you can change the VO volume to,
let’s say, 40%, and it will not affect the sound effects or other
media volumes. Turning up or down the system volume will change the
VO volume relative, but it will stay at 40% of the system volume.
I hope that this makes sense.

yes, that is exactly what I am saying.
And I wish to also know where system sound effects volume is
managed, as I dare say it differs from say voiceover volume.

Hi,
If your volume is set low, then, yes, the startup chime will
normally be set low as well. Are you saying that when you restart,
or startup your computer from scratch, you do not hear any startup
chime?

Hi Tim,
My understanding is that this is the very last Mac os before big
shore, which may be why the sound is missing.
As i am profoundly new to all this, I want to insure I have it, was
never a windows user so all this boot time makes me crazy laughs.
What about turning up the sound if needful?

Hi,
The startup chime was a computer specific item in that model of
Mac. That is, the startup chime should still work normally on
that device without any intervention in System Preferences. I’m
willing to be corrected, but I also believe that the checkbox that
they’re speaking of was not present in Catalina, only Big Sur and
newer.
No, it will not make that sound upon opening the lid as it is a
chime that is sounded as part of the boot process. In older Macs,
before it was removed, it doubled as kind of a system check. If
you heard that noise, then the hardware was OK, and it should
proceed to bring up the MacOS, unless the drive was a problem.
HTH.

hi everyone,
I have a mid 2012 15 inch macbook pro retina now running os
10.15.7 Catalina.
I recall the discussion about the apple start up sound being
removed, was told by apple accessibility that this is corrected
by accessing system preferences, sound, sound effects, and making
sure there is a checkbox beside start up sound.
What I do not recall though is how one insures the start up sound
volume is turned up, something I want to know just in case.
Also, if the start up sound is provided, does it also happen
when awakening the mac, opening the lid?
Thanks,
Karen
