Hi everyone,
Does anyone of you who test the new Ventura beta not have a startup chime anymore too? For me, the startup chime is missing since beta 3 even though play sound at startup is checked in System Preferences.

Ok, then something semms to be wrong with my device I think. Since a few days, the startup sound is completely missing. I have installed the Ventura beta on an external drive, on the Macintosh HD main drive, there's still running Monterey. On both systems, the startup sound is missing.

This is a complete pain in the ass, but just an idea. Uncheck the sound again. Then completely shut down. turn it back on, re-check the option, then shut down again before turning it on. I'm sure you might not want to do any of this but I just figured I'd offer some help Not working with the beta.
