I recently bought a new MacBook Pro with retina display. I was trying to mute the initial Startup sound and I downloaded: 1) StartUpSound.prefPane, but it does not install; 2) Psst, but it does not word, and finally, 3) StartNinja, which works muting the chime but mutes it permanently. It does not let me get the sound back, even if I toggle the control to on. I tried to uninstall the application but it does not help either. Is there a solution? Thanks.

I have never used one of those apps as I like to hear the sound and know all is fine, but this might work.
Right after you press power and the screen just lights, Hold down the following KEYS and keep them held down.
Command+Option+P+R. All 4 keys. The Mac will reboot and you should hear the sound. I would hold them down for 2 reboots then let go.
Let us know if that brings the Startup sound back.

As suggested give all those apps a miss as the more you use, the more troubles you are likely to get. For one I like the sound when I reboot once a month or so. Reminds one all is well.
