Amit Meena Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 For those of you who have a real Mac, you’re probably familiar with the “Sosumi” sound; that cheery “BONG!” that greets you when you boot OS X. Unfortunately, for those of us intrepid hackers who use OSX86, the sound is unavailable. Apple has baked the sound into their EFI firmware, which as of yet doesn’t work on non-Apple hardware (though there is a project to make it happen). However, there is a way to play the sound when you log in to your Hackintosh. To achieve this, you’ll need something that allows you to play an audio file on log in. Luckily, Kiwi Fruitware has developed such a thing as a prefpane, which you can download from here. Installing it is easy: simply double click on this icon and enter your password: Now you’ll need the audio file for the startup sound, which can be downloaded here. Open System Preferences, navigate to SystemSound, go to the “Startup Sound” tab, and drag ‘n’ drop the file in: Be sure to go back to the “Preferences” tab and check “Enable SystemSound Extension” and “Use startup sound”. And that’s it, you should hear that lovely “BONG!” every time you log in. all credits goes to the blog where i got this info........ thanx........

redshot Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 That's pretty cool But it would be cooler if I could modify my BIOS to play that sound (instead of the default one) on startup and to show the Apple Splash Screen (Instead of the Asus logo ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muchlife Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 and to show the Apple Splash Screen (Instead of the Asus logo tongue.gif) i had an asus motherboard before and it had an option for "Custom boot picture" which i assumed was to change the image the bios shows when posting, so check your bios, you might have this option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bon Gart Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Asus does allow you to customize your BIOS loading screen. They actually provide a utility for that. Now... the utility doesn't allow you to insert a sound though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
