Question Volume on startup

Hello,

I have a new dual 1ghz MD PowerMac. When I start the machine the opening chime is tremendously loud. Is there a way to turn that down or off? It comes out the built in speaker and not my USB Harmon/Kardon iSub and SoundSticks.

Thank you for any help you can give.

-todd

DeltaMac will become famous soon enough
Turn the volume down in the Sound Pref pane, On most Macs, that also affects the start up chime. You may have to experiment a little between alert volume and output volume to see which affects startup and still leaves you with normal volume to speakers.
