2019 Mac Pro Startup Sound! The "BONG" is back!

[@dashtesla]

YES :D Now it's a real mac, any mac without a bong is a blasphemy.

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Well, it's certainly more boring without it!

[@RaeOrRaven]

I gotta love your “evil scientist” laugh :3

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

SprinklesTheCaticorn Well, I have to keep up with Kyle! He already has a whole /Evil Facility Lair/ ...

[@AKXNA]

Muhahahaha finally mac bong

[@MandieBogo]

I wonder how many random pot smokers will watch this video in confusion.

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

I'm sure a few ... this is the internet after all.

[@anidiotontheinternet3514]

Hey smokers drauga1 here

[@DBLCreations]

I love this! I was looking for a terminal command ever since they announced that chime would no longer be. Cool that you share it!

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

You're welcome! Glad I could help!

[@MarksBigOlHam]

That startup sound is way better than the startup sound of the original iMac (even though it's technically the same according to MacTracker, it's just the T2 chip that causes the distortion and lower pitch)

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

I totally agree.

[@Youtjube]

Your laugh is hilarious, like a witch found out a new spell :)

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Muh-hu-HA! I guess I'll need to practice my "Evil Scientist Laugh" so that I can compete with @Kyle Hill as an Evil Mastermind!

[@yazdantim9619]

Thank you you made my day 😊 it doesn’t sound like the original one ..it’s a bit muffled but somethings better than nothing

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

It's not as loud .. but I found this works on a number of machines.

[@yazdantim9619]

The Makers Workshop it works on every Mac so yeah !

[@CocoTheMii]

The T2 security chip causes the sound to be distorted. If you enable the startup sound on an older Mac without this chip, it sounds just like it always used to.

[@gioelececchinii]

it's more like a "bung" than a "bong"

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Gioele L. V. C. Since it’s using the little speaker deep inside the case, you’re right! *buuuuuuuuuung*

[@Minecraft101ToonLink]

The chime is at 1:02. You’re welcome!

[@dismauy]

HAHAHAHAHA! The bong is back!" - maker 2020

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

I stand by my giddy, Evil Laugh.

[@TheTechnicalWizard]

The return of the king

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

... or is it the return of the King's Musicians

[@_eesports]

It also applies for the 2018+ MacBooks

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Awesome!

[@colinmacdonald5169]

wow it actually worked!

[@misterkuda704]

It may sound different. (but it's the lower frequency, the sound file is not low pitched.)

[@Dew397]

Me stuck using a 2008 iMac, ok. When i inevitably upgrade, Oh no, *finds video again* Oh yeah!!!

[@realtoadtech]

That also applies to all 2016-2020 macs

[@34skyline]

thanks I just done it to mine

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

You're welcome!

[@illyarudkin8852]

thank you :-) missed the bong

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

I sometimes wish we could change the notes -- but I love the sound...

[@참참참-y5l]

1:02 Ahahahaha

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Mac이 시작되는 소리가 나를 행복하게했습니다.

[@TescoMealDeal571]

the bong sounds more depressing

[@beedslolkuntus2070]

Lol your so lucky i always wanted a mac xd

[@okay5972]

if u like exe files dont even bother coming here

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Weeeell... come on. Some people still run DosBox... and some of my favorite games ran on Dos ... like "Under a Killing Moon"

[@musicmayer2043]

So far confirmed to work on many Mac models using Mojave or Catalina. Original (partial) source from Jan 2020: i.reddit.com/r/macpro/comments/er3th0/does_the_2019_model_have_a_startup_chime/ Does not give absolute date, only relative date of “1 month ago”. “SINdicate 1 point 1 month ago Wild guess: sudo nvram StartupMute=%100” To disable, do anyone of these 4: - Type sudo nvram StartupMute=%01 - Type sudo nvram -d StartupMute - reset PRAM on startup (press and hold CMD (⌘)-OPT(⌥)-P-R on startup) - turn off and pull plug on desktop Macs (not all models)

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Yeah! I also had a chance to try this on a rack version of the Mac Pro .. since it's basically the same motherboard, works great!

[@deenguyenfamily2468]

The new bong tho is lower pitched than the old one

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Hey! I should go boot up my old G4 cube and an old PowerBook to check that... If they changed the key of the startup music ( or octave! )

[@victorfigueroa9385]

Thats because of a security chip that's fucking the audio up

[@mawj09eas4]

I did this to mine and it worked! Unfortunately, my iMac doesn’t have a T2 chip, so it didn’t play your startup sound, even though I got my 27-inch iMac around the beginning of 2019

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Hmm .. that actually should have worked, even though it lacks a T2 chip. What is the Model Identifier for your iMac? ( Under About This Mac, then "System Report" )

[@mawj09eas4]

@The Makers Workshop Mine is iMac 18,3

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

@@mawj09eas4 Confirmed -- I just tried it on a friends 18,3 mac, and there was no startup sound. How sad. Well, the iMac does have a different motherboard. The =new= iMac Pro, however, does work.

[@mawj09eas4]

Apparently, it turns out I have a 2017 iMac 27” with 5K Retina Display, so the sound doesn’t play

[@Matteo_Sohn]

i switched to a gaming pc i get no sounds :(

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Awww ... that's a pity. I wonder how the Mac Pro would do as a Gaming PC... certainly it's an awfully expensive machine to turn into one.

[@ArchWayE]

Nice

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

So nice

[@pansamcn]

Great～～！

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Thank you very much!

[@crenelle]

I can tell what your password is by the sound of your keypresses.

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

HA! >grin< That would be a real trick.

[@mattcrowley8993]

Michael Brian Bentley You wish.

[@sonicandchristiansantos1356]

That's a windows computer !!!!!!!

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Um, no, it's not. Or are you talking about my partner's Lenovo in the background? She can choose whatever she likes ... and she happens to like Windows.

[@HamadiYT]

50th like

[@TheMakersWorkshop]

Legend!
