Try this? Source and applicable quote follows:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1398604&page=2

I know this thread has pretty much died out, but I found an answer on the ArchLinux Wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook --

1. Reboot with an OSX installation disc
2. Start the Terminal
3. Issue the command "# /usr/sbin/nvram SystemAudioVolume=%01"

I can confirm that this works on a late-2010 Macbook Air and Snow Leopard.

And from here:

http://forum.soft32.com/linux/rid-st...ict309614.html

I use the command nvsetvol from the package powerpc-utils on my ibook.
"nvsetvol 0" will turn it off, but I like "nvsetvol 1".

Couldn't agree more, that sound is really aggravating

Thanks to all for the suggestions.

Buddy of mine opened his with a few .45 shots. Worked magically. (Not PPC, or I would've gone mad... he gave me his PPC unit a while back.)

I actually like the sound, myself, but it is wayy too loud on my PowerMac G4 on startup. I'll dl the little tool. And I have a question; Why do people hate OS X? Its well updated (about every two years) it has amazing software support when compared to other UNIX/Linux derivatives, and its Aqua/Quartz is vastly better than window's current set up. I can't say its the best interface out there, but it is pretty nice.

Need a part for a PC or Mac? PM me, I'll let you know if I come across it.

OS X trumps Windows on every level.

MorphOS, OS4 and Classic Amiga systems are the only ones who are real 'Amigas', not that joke AROS or Amiga Forever.

I dont hate Mac OSx just not got time to use it. And it does suck on my old g4 mac mini (bought for morphos)

Also there is no version of Fruity Loops studio for Mac OS

@Kesa

On powerup, take 25 pound sludge hammer and strike Macmini as hard as you can where you think it will turn off speaker.

WORKS FOR ME!!
