Bug after updating to big sur 11.1?

I noticed since I updated to 11.1 the startup chime no longer works when booting up, also when i plug the Mac to charge when its off, no longer does the charging sound as well, only when its boot up.


The strange thing is when I do a PRAM/NVRAM reset the start up chime works but when I turn on the computer again no longer works again. The option to make the sound is enabled on preferences.


Also tried SMC reset, the Charging sound when its off still not working, I think it worked on 11.0.1.

Hi there, miguelbfrom.


It appears that you're no longer hearing the startup chime when you start your Mac, or when you charge it. Good job on the troubleshooting steps you've tried, and we're glad to help with this.


How to use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support -- Restart your Mac in safe mode and see if you hear the startup chime. Depending on whether or not you do, apply the additional steps provided below:


"If the issue continues in safe mode


If the issue continues while in safe mode, or your Mac restarts several times and then shuts down while starting up in safe mode, you should reinstall macOS and make sure that your Apple software and third-party apps are up to date.


If the issue doesn't continue in safe mode


If the issue doesn't continue while in safe mode, leave safe mode by restarting your Mac normally. Then test for the issue again. The issue might be resolved.


If the issue returns after leaving safe mode, startup items are probably at fault. Apps can install such items in numerous places, and they aren't always easy to find or recognize. For that reason, you should first make sure that you've installed any available updates for your Apple software and third-party apps.


If updating your software doesn't help, try any of these solutions:

  • Test your login items.
  • To learn whether software in your user account is causing the issue, set up a new user account, then log in to it and try to reproduce the issue in that account.
  • Unplug all accessories from your Mac, including printers, drives, USB hubs, and other nonessential devices. You could have an issue with one or more of those devices or their cables.
  • Reinstall macOS.


If you still need help, please contact Apple Support."


All the best.
