Hello, I am getting a 2 second beeping noise when I cold and warm boot. The noise comes just before the Amiga 4.1 final edition logo.
I had a graphics problem which I solved by changing the HDMI lead, I was getting a pink tint to everything that was supposed to be white.
Any ideas?

It's probably the original Amiga 1000 turn-on noise (a short burst of notes).

On the x1000?

Yes, you can disable it in SYS:Prefs/Sound.

Yes.
Sys:kickstart/kicklayout is a text file of modules to be loaded at kick time.

There you may find Module Kickstart/bootsound.kmod, which plays a tune similar to the bootsound of the original Amiga 1000 on the HDAudio chip of the X1000.
You can disable it by putting a semicolon ; at the front of that line.

Warning: edits to kicklayout can cause booting trouble. In particular, don't add blank lines, they ARE significant to the bootlayout process.

Have Fun,

Thank you all. Why have I never heard it before after 3 years?

It only plays through the HDAudio chip.
It's done by manipulating registers in the chip.

If you have been using some other sound card then you'd never know.

Thank you Lyle

On a good day, I try to be helpful.
On a bad day I just don't reply.

Glad I could help solve the puzzle.
