as in system preferences, output?
As stated I have to guide someone else to the option.

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
