Hi Dan, I tried unplugging the speakers, and then going back in to system preferences, and sound, and checking under output, and when interacting with the table, it said internal speakers, so all I need now, is for somebody with a mac mini to go in to system preferences, and sound, and under the output tab, check where the horizontle slider is by default, assuming that it hasn't been moved. Right now, my internal speakers are at 50.9%, and the chime seems to be a little lower than it was before I took this mini in on Tuesday, but it is worth noting, unless there is a setting in preferences, somewhere, that when you change the volume for the internal speakers, the external speakers, which become active when you plug them in, revert to 54.9% for the horizontle slider, so keep that in mind. I can still hear the chime, but not voice over through the internal speakers. I think this is an ingenius thing they've done to make the jack double as a switcher on this mac mini.

Hi Marty, There's a preference pane that you can get to control the volume of the mac start up sound. Forget where I'd gotten it though, i do have it on my iMac here.

Hi all, I tried asking this question before, and got no response, so I'll try asking the question one more time. I had a problem where I had to take my mac mini in to the apple store, and the stuck cd was removed, but in the process, the internal speaker was turned up somehow, and I'm wondering how I can get the internal speaker where you hear the chime, back down to where it use to be, because, now, the chime is so loud, that if I start the mac late at night, it may wake somebody up. I did find out that my output level was decreased, so I fixed that, under sound, but where do you control the internal speaker volume on the mac mini? I think that the technition did something with the mouse, because he put a dvd in to see if the drive was damaged, and he must have turned up the internal speaker up somehow, so any assistance would greatly be appreciated.
