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.

Share Your Bug Reports with AppleVis

If you experience a bug in Apple Beta Software, the most important thing you can do is to file a report in Feedback Assistant. Please do not assume that Apple is already aware of a bug or that your report won't make a difference; your report may provide crucial information, and submitting bug reports directly to Apple helps them reproduce and resolve the issue faster. The more reports they receive, the higher the priority Apple is likely to give to fixing the bug.

If you are using beta software, please use the Feedback Assistant on your device to submit feedback and bug reports. If you are using a public release, this blog post explains how to report the issue and what information to include.

In 2025, AppleVis launched the Community Bug Reporting Program with the goal of improving the quality and quantity of information we share with the community about bugs in Apple software releases. If you would like to contribute to this effort, please submit your reports via our Community Bug Report Form.

All reports shared with AppleVis must first be filed with Apple via Feedback Assistant. More information about the Community Bug Program is available here.

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.
