The Vista startup sound: You can't turn it off (Download Squad)

Aug 26th 2006 12:34AM Honestly, who needs a sound to tell them that their PC is ready to work? Shouldn't a desktop with icons, or a mouse cursor be suffecient? What if your speakers are turned off? Tech support will be flooded by people wanting to hear that startup sound and forgetting to turn their speakers on. The article states "Let's say you muted your machine, and you don't hear your startup sound, you know you aren't ready to listen to stuff" Wonder if there will be a dialog box prompting you to make sure your speakers are on in anticipation of the magic 'everything is OK' windows startup sound?
