No startup sound (chime)

[idark77]

In these days when I start up my MacBook I don't get the startup sound (chime), macOS is updated to Big Sur 11.5.2.
In the Sound Effects pane, the “Play sound on startup” setting is on, Mute is off.
Anybody else?

Make sure you have the sound turned up. Turn it up to max and try again. If that doesn't help, do a SMC reset and NVRAM reset.

I tried all and nothing worked so I did a clean install of macOS Big Sur 11.5.2 and startup sound worked...
Thanks Apple.

Is built-in speaker volume turned up in sound preferences?

Yes, all was ok and no sound on startup. After a clean install now startup sound works as expected.
I noticed this issue after the system was updated to BS 11.5.2... I also noticed that the boot sequence changed, I mean

before 11.5.2 it was:
Chime sound -> Apple logo -> Login password because FileVault on -> progress bar -> Desktop

After 11.5.2 installation:
No chime sound -> Apple logo -> progress bar -> Login password -> Desktop
I checked FileVault and it was correctly on

After BS 11.5.2 clean install:
Chime sound -> Apple logo -> Login password because FileVault on -> progress bar -> Desktop

I don't know if anybody else noticed this...

I have the same issue and could not find a solution (Mac mini 2018). Good to know that a clean install fixes it but hope it gets fixed with the next update as well...
