Start up chime not everytime

[Kryten]

I bought a new iMac 27" (11.5.1) 3.8Ghz, i7 a few weeks ago and occasionally it starts up without the glorious chime. Whilst everything seems to running fine is it something that may be a harbinger of doom?

See above screen shot from System Preferences, "Sound". Make sure the "Play sound on startup" box is checked as mine is. Also, the sound level must be turned up a bit to hear it. The chime is not as loud as it once was in the older versions of macOS.

Yes, thanks Charlie, everything is selected as your screenshot. It may be nothing it's just a little strange.

try a pram reset that should solve the chime setting

but you will have to set your brightness level again but that's not hard to do.

Thanks Jason. It seems to have sorted itself for now but I'll make a note of that.
