Question No Windows 11 Startup Sound

[cannond1396]

I've recently installed Windows 11 on my PC. No problem there. I turned up my speaker, and I was hoping to hear my new Windows startup sound. Nothing! I could play sound on my speaker just fine, but every time I start/restart my PC, I still don't hear any frickin startup sound!

I've already gone through a few common fixes and still no luck. So these are the steps I've taken.

Step two was greyed out, so here is what I did.

(Step 1)

1. I turned off/unchecked "fast startup" in Control Panel via Power Options

(Step 2)
I went into

1. Settings > Personalization > Themes > Sounds
2. Check the box next to "Play Windows Startup sound."
3. Restarted my PC, and still no Startup sound.

I did these common fixes when I did my research, and it still did not fix my issue. So why won't my PC play my new Startup sound? PS. I never had Windows 10 Startup Sound.

So since step 2 was greyed out, you did not actually do those?

I did all of these steps. Unfortunately, I am still not getting that Windows startup sound. Fyi, I never heard of any startup sound on Windows 10.

What plays sound in your system? USB, 3.5mm, hdmi/dp thru monitor ?

Just an FYI, my Windows 11 testbed laptop 'usually' plays the sign on sound but it has missed playing it a couple times.
Not sure what causes the issue and this laptop is a 'white room' test system, fully compatible with Windows 11, and has no extraneous software installed.

In short, it's Windows 11, not you or your computer. 😉

I have my audio played through my 3.5mm audio jack. I also have the ability to choose between my 3.5mm audio speaker/headphone or play sound via monitor by selecting the different audio sources from my list via volume button.

I'm thinking so too going by other threads I've seen on the net
