If your volume is completely off (set to 0) when you shut down your
Mac, it won't play the startup chime.  Is it possible you've done
this ?

I use an AppleScript in the 'Shutdown Items' folder to do this since
any sound, no matter how welcome, which is repeated exactly every day
begins to get on my nerves.  Another AppleScript in the 'Startup Items'
folder set the volume to my preferred level.
