Turn Off Start Up Sound...

How do you turn off the start up sound?! It even comes on when I have headphones in. Sometimes it's so freaking loud and I'm in libraries and such... please help me out here =/

If you have your volume turned down or muted before you turn it off, it won't sound on the startup.

There's also this preference pane that I found on the Net that actually lets you configure this feature to turn it on or off. You can check it out here:Psst!

Or you can cut cut off the jack on a pair of old headphones and plug that in when you boot up. Or just don't shut down your mac, it travels fine while it's asleep.

Thanks so much! =)

it should still come on when you have a headphone jack in since it happens before the OS starts fully. it should always use the internal speakers. you probably don't want to disable it either since it can be used in case of problems to determine how far your start up has gotten before you encounter issues.
