New macbook pro no sound in headphone in windows 7

hellfire88 said:
Yup i got an April 2010 13" MBP 2.4GHz and same issue as everyone else. Running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and no sound out of the headphones. Found this thread after I already installed Bootcamp and everything so didn't get a chance to "slipstream" the 64-bit driver provided by ssn637 in post #41. I just went to Control Panel -> Add/Remove Program and uninstalled the stock bootcamp cirruslogic audio driver. Rebooted, installed the 64bit driver from ssn637, rebooted, and now I get sound out of the headphone ports! (proper switching between headphone + built-in speakers when I plug/unplug headphones). Thanks ssn637! I submitted a bug report to Apple but will just use this "workaround" for now.

Hellfire, i see you got a 7200 RPM HDD. Is that the Apple installed one or did you do it yourself??
If u did it yourself, which one did you get???
 
Installed the patch.

It worked flawlessly!!

I followed the same process as Hellfire.

Uninstalled the old driver and just installed the new drivers.
Works well now.

Haven't tried the mic yet though.

I have the same problem. I have the newest Macbook Pro and the sound will work great in Windows 7 for the speakers but once I plug in the headphones there will be no sound. Been trying to google a solution but nothing. I hope you guys find something.

I have found the solutions to the problem (no headphone sound in Windows 7 using bootcamp).
Ps: Don't mind the English because I'm no native English speaker, I'm from Suriname.
The are 2 solutions.

For Windows 7 64 bit:

You will have to download the: CS4207_WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit_6-6001-1-21.zip driver.
From: http://www.cirrus.com/en/products/pro/detail/P1233.html
Then you can install the driver trough device manager -> audio > and then you can manually update the cirrus logic ab 13 driver (not the nvidea drivers). Then you will have to search your disk and uncheck the (show compatible drivers) box. From the list that will show you will have to choose the AB 77 driver. And you're ready to go !!! ((Windows will tell you that it's not a singed driver, but don't boughter with it).


For Windows 7 32 bit:
You can use the old Windows xp driver: CirrusAudioXP_Macbook_c.zip
From: http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio
Then you can install the driver trough device manager -> audio > and then you can manually update the cirrus logic ab 13 driver (not the nvidea drivers). Then you will only have to hit 'enter| (don't change anything). And you're good to go !!! (Windows will tell you that it's not a singed driver, but don't boughter with it).
 
I've just finished my install and after installing bootcamp drivers audio works??? There was no need for me to adjust the drivers manually.

:)

I'd like to go back to 64-bit now since your driver is working...here's the modified CirrusAudioVista64.exe (with a .zip extension) for anyone who may want to use it. Great to hear we have a solution while awaiting an official Apple driver!

So many thanks, ssn637!
 
Simply Fix for New macbook pro 15in

My headphones haven't worked ever since I updated to the newest bootcamp 3.1. Not really tech knowledgeable and was looking for a easy fix-these all seemed too hard.

so after some effort, i found this out,

just make the headphones the default audio in the playback window. When the earphones get unplugged it goes back to the speakers.

Just finished a clean installation of Windows 7 x64 Ultimate after replacing the CirrusAudioVista64.exe in the BootCamp Driver folder with the modified executable. Got the usual warning that the driver wasn't certified but it's working just fine. Very little static in the headphones. I haven't tested the microphone, though, since I never use it.

For anyone considering Windows 7 x86 vs. x64, I highly recommend 64-bit if you have 4 GB or more of RAM. The system feels much snappier and is rock solid as opposed to 32-bit, which can only use 2.74 GB of the available RAM.

I agree with that on the 64-bit version.. it's bordering on a good OS.. Maybe just a good Windows OS though, but the link you provided works fantastic on my Core 2 Duo 15" Unibody MBP, thank you very much! :D
 
Macbook Pro 15'' 2009 No-headphones: This was what worked for me

Hi,

After googling for two days, I finally found a workaround for my macbook pro 15'' (macbookpro5,3).

I had sound on Windows 7 64bits (with volume ok) and without the red light problem, but i couldn't hear anything from my tv with sound cable connected to headphones. My current version of bootcamp is 3.1 (with all drivers installed from it).

I tried all kind of things (drivers from vista64, xp, bootcamp 2.2, realtek, etc.) with no luck. THE SOLUTION FOR ME WAS TO INSTALL LATEST DRIVERS FROM NVIDIA (YES, graphics drivers) OVERRIDING THOSE FROM BOOTCAMP 3.1. After macbook restart, MY EXTERNAL SPEAKERS STARTED WORKING!!!

Hope this helps to anyone.

I've just performed a clean installation of Windows 7 x86 and have audio out of the headphones, albeit unreliably. I simply followed the instructions in the Apple Forums thread concerning this issue:

http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2037093&start=465&tstart=0

Here someone posted instructions on how to modify the BootCamp Cirrus audio drivers with a CirrusAudio.10.6.1.zip file that was uploaded here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?mmfmjhtjy0i

Guide to Working Audio Drivers in Windows 7 32 bit(may work in other Windows Operating Systems)

1. Download http://www.sussex.tec.nj.us/files/CirrusAudio.10.6.1.zip and extract the CirrusAudio.10.6.1 folder. Now find the appropriate driver, in my case it was "CirrusAudioVista32.exe" and use a file extraction tool like WinRar to extract the files from the executable.

2. Find your Snow Leopard DVD, put it into your DVD drive and from windows explorer, explore or open the DVD. Now open the Boot Camp folder and then the Drivers folder. Now find the Cirrus folder, and copy the appropriate driver to your desktop. Again use a file extraction tool like WinRar to extract the files from the executable.

3. Now open the Second CirrusAudioVista32 folder created in Step 2, find the file named "CirrusAPO_x86.dll" and copy this file. Now open the First CirrusAudioVista32 folder created in Step 1 and paste the "CirrusAPO_x86.dll" over the existing (replace) file.

4. Now if you have not uninstalled the previous version of the driver, open the control panel and uninstall the Cirrus Logic, Inc driver and reboot.

5. Once your computer has restarted, open the First CirrusAudioVista32 folder created in Step 1 and double click the DPInst.exe, and your new driver will install.

The original link was dead but I found the .zip file by Googling. I followed the instructions using the Boot Camp drivers provided with the Mac OS X installation DVD.

Headphones are now functioning, but upon restarting the driver sometimes fails to load and needs to be troubleshooted.

Not an ideal solution, but for the time being I'll live with it.

The Windows XP drivers provided at the following site also worked:

http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio

But the audio quality was poor and only one audio output is recognized (speaker), regardless of whether or not the headphones are inserted.

Here's the modified CirrusAudioVista32.exe file I created using the above procedure. Just remove the .zip extension and replace the file in the BootCamp drivers folder (\Cirrus).

I have a 20'' T7400 2.16GHz C2D with only 1 GB RAM running 32-bit Win7 Ultimate under Bootcamp and have tried everything. In Leopard About this computer it says the audio is Intel High Definition Audio. I've downloaded the most recent realtek drivers and tried installing them under compatibility, etc - tried everything.

Will this solution work or are the Cirrus drivers for other hardware?

Anyone have a solution for me - I'd really appreciate it. I spent too much time on this already and unfortunately need Win7.

Thanks
 
macbook pro 15 i7 -sound bug fixed!

Hi,

Just want to say thanks to all here. I install the latest ReakTek Vista_Win7_R253 driver and the CirrusAudio.10.6.1 (CirrusAudioVista64) and both speaker and headset worked. No volume problem, red light fixed. Impeccable
I have bootcamp 3.1 - Window 7

Note: After the to many hour spent fixing wifi connection, your solution really came in handy.

Thanks again.

In all installing Bootcamp, window software, offices suite etc.., bug fix, took about 8h.
 
Wow, just saw this. I'm going to check out my dad and fiance's macbook pro and see if they have the same problem. Thanks for the info!
 
Solution to this (Worked for me)

Solution: (Worked for me) Open Control panel -> Sound Settings, and set the headphones to default sound device. When you connect them, the system must detect it. ;)
 
I know this is an old post, but I am having the same problem with my mid-2012 13" Macbook Pro i5. No audio in Windows 7 through BootCamp. I tried the suggestions from last year in this post but they didn't work. Ended up not having any audio and had to reinstall the audio drivers from my BootCamp dvd.

Don't know if anyone else with the new 13" Macbooks are having this problem too. Let me know if anyone has heard anything.
 
how to fix headphone jack issues in Win 7

Go into COntrol Panel, SOund, Devices, disable and re-enable every device there and it should work...
 
Bumping this thread.

I've tried all the listed options. I'm running a mac mini (Mid 2011) Windows 7 32bit.
When I right click on my audio there are three listed:
Speakers - 2-high definition audio device default (Green check mark)
Digital Audio (HDMI) High def audio device (Green phone?)
Digital audio (S/PDIF) 2-high def audio device

I've tried just my internal speakers, my added speakers and headphones and nothing has worked.
Also tried:
-Running snow leopard disc
-Download Realtek audio
- I've installed the disc that was created when I first started the bootcamp assistant

Any other suggestions?
 
Not sure if you got help, but I thought my situation and solution might help someone.

My problems started when I booted into windows 7 from bootcamp upon startup and installed DFX audio enhancer. The software was cool, but I noticed it caused bugs and I had to manually switch audio devices when I wanted to use headphones and chat in Google hangouts. SO I decided to uninstall it.

The problem still lingered after the uninstall. No headphones when I plugged them in. SO I went intro control panel > sound and deleted all the devices in my sound except for speakers (Cirrus Logic CS4206A), Headphones (Cirrus Logic CS4206A), and Digital Audio (s/PDIF) (Cirrus Logic CS4206A).

Then I made sure that headphones were set as default device and speakers were set as default communication device.
