Probably `or what'.  I'd start by suspecting something wrong with the
sound output.  It could be that the plug on the end of the speaker
wire's a bit manky and needs a clean.  Did you get *any* sound when the
Mac started up with no start-up chime?

Old, y'see - connectors fail with time, especially when they're not very
good ones (like the speaker connector - no point in bothering too much
about that, unlike, say, IC sockets and the like).
