32 bit Windows rMBP favor

[kkrull]

Any chance that anyone running 32 bit versions of Windows 7 or 8 on a 2012 retina MacBook Pro would run the Intel Chipset Identification utility for us and post the results...

...we believe it will show us as a C216 or E208B284 but the specific output may be helpful in getting Windows 8 x64 EFI audio working.

I ran the chipset identification utility in windows PE. Wasn't very helpful. All it said was that it was an "Intel 6-series Chipset"

What I can tell you is that when I enumerate the PCI devices in OSX, 1023:4206 does not appear at all - but 8086:1E20 does. That indicates that perhaps my theory is correct in that Apple maps the onboard audio as a Cirrus Logic controller through the CSM. However, if there is a proper windows driver for the Intel controller, I don't see why we can't install that. But it may need to be updated for Windows 8.

Best bet might be to see if there are PC manufacturers that use the same controller, and if so, see if any of those guys are able to get audio to work in Windows 8.
