There is an option in the Panel that has the system sounds. At the bottom is a box to check to have startup sounds.

It can be turned on but there's no way (that I know of) to assign sound to it. Option to assign it is greyed out. It's fixed in W10TP.

If it's not on the list of already installed sounds, I could not see a way to do it.

My start up sound comes and goes. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I've just accepted it.

Please don't ask why and how but I got startup sound and it's from Win7. Still can't choose which sound but it's there. If I was to guess it would be because this 8.1.1 and Win10TP i have in dual boot are syncing all the time and sound is enabled and running there.
