Hi John,
Well, I have the mac set up to speak at login and this does work to a point.
However there is still the problem of needing the chime when you are doing
something like resetting the PRAM. The best thing to do at least from my stand
point is to contact Apple and explain the problem and ask them to provide a way
to turn it on for those of us who need it.
Thanks.

Hi,
Maybe one solution would be to install a automator script that would play a
sound or spoken message early in the startup process, to indicate the system
is loading, and would be heard even if VoiceOver was off. Also, I suppose
that even with the newest machines with SSD, one will hear some kind of noise
from the machine when it is started or restarted?
Best,
John André

Yeah, I'm not a fan of this for those very reasons. I can live without it
for just daily startups, but there are tasks and situation in which the
chime was a great indicator that things were working as they should. My Mac
Book Pro 2017 also does not have the chime when it starts. There was,
briefly, a hack to bring it back by running a specific line in terminal, but
Apple has apparently disabled this now.

This is happening with all new Macs. While frustrating, it isn’t the end
of the world for me. Windows computers don’t do this, and I’m just used to
it now.

Hi folks,
We installed a brand new iMac in the shop to day one of the last built
before the new operating system. With every other mac I have ever set
down to when you press the start button you hear a chime of sorts to let
you know that the start up process has begun. But no start up chime with
the new iMac.
After calling tech support and accessibility neither one knew why they
had made the change but they did confirm that it was happening on the new
iMacs.
We did register a complaint.
Any thoughts?
