Audio enabled selection before app starts - requirement?

[shockreaction]

I've noticed in several Java games that the user is prompted to select whether or not audio should be enabled before the game starts. Is this some sort of general guideline/requirement?

If it is a requirement, is it okay for me to start the game with the audio system disabled and allowing the user to be able to enable it when in-game?

Thanks.
