    Startup chime while sleeping

    I have a MacBook Pro 13" mid 2012. After leaving my MacBook sleeping for a long period of time (1h-2h) with the lid down I sometimes hear the startup chime.

    Boot Chime stuck on loud!

    So I attempted to install Big Sur Beta on my external USB stick. Long story short it was taking too long (perhaps even froze) so I abandoned the install and booted back into Catalina on the internal drive. Now however, I get a really loud startup chime. I understand Big Sur has this feature...

    No Chime, Yes the volume in the sound panel is on

    I have a 2012 Macbook Pro with a Micron 512 SSD and running High Sierra that works fine but will not chime. Everywhere I look online the "No chime" conversations are always accompanied with startup issues or the elementary issue of no knowing how to operate the sound preference pane. Neither of...
