Windows 7 Beta 7000 (Boot Camp) NO SOUND.....?

amt2002 said:
Just an update from me with my lack of sound from my 3.5mm headphone jack on my aluminium imac. I tried everything but to no avail.

THE SOLUTION:

Finally I gave up and re-formatted and reinstalled windows 7, this time in 64-bit. And it worked! Now I have quality sound coming from the external speakers. If anyone else experiences this, first try installing without having the speakers plugged in during installation. If not, go 64-bit.

ok, ill bite. Downloading 64-bit edition now. I have the latest driver from Realtek (2.14) on my Windows 7 32-bit build, sound works well from my imac internal speakers, not so much from the audio-out though.

I can verify this solution worked for me.
I used the Apple Vista driver and it works fine.

What I didn't know until this event was that Apple puts a red
led *inside* the headphone jack on the macbookpro. The LED
was lit (RED) but when I loaded the Vista driver, the LED went
dark and the sound started working. Very cool.

Worked for me thank you!

Oh if anyone else is wondering where the leopard drivers he was referring to is, it's on your leopard install disk go to Computer>Leopard Disk>Boot Camp>Drivers and in there is RealTekSetup

Thank you again!

Go into the leopard drivers folder. There should be a directory called Drivers, and under that is a file called RealTekSetup.exe. If you try run this normally, it will fail.

What he did next was:

Right click it, and select Troubleshoot Compatibility
Click Next and wait for it to finish 'Detecting Issues'
Select The program Worked in earlier versions of windows...
Select Windows Vista
Click Next a few times, let the Realtek installer run, reboot, and Presto!

I will also add this worked perfecto. My mic and webcam,wireless and everything else (expect audio,video and multitouch and special keys) were already pre-working. I got my Nvidia driver off their site and the vista version worked fine. The audio I followed the guide quoted above. And multi touch worked when I installed bootcamp drivers along with the special keys etc. Also I'm working on 64bit 7000

was there anything that you might have left out? I did the following:

1. Install Windows 7 64-bit
2. Installed Boot Camp Drivers (Boot Camp -> Drivers -> Apple -> BootCamp64)
3. Boot Camp Update Vista 64-bit
4. RealTek R2.14 Vista 32/64 from RealTek.com

Everything is working again, Windows even recognizes that "headphones" were plugged into the Audio-Out Port, but no sound out is produced from the Audio-Out.

EDIT: Interesting Discovery, when I mute the Speakers either from the keyboard or the task bar, sound still is produced from the speakers but it sounds muffled.

EDIT2: SUCCESS! I used the Realtek Drivers from the directory: Boot Camp -> Drivers -> RealTekSetup on the Mac OS X Install Disk 1 and they worked. They uninstalled the original windows drivers (1st Restart), then I re-ran the installer (2nd Restart). Everything works perfectly!
 
Installed Realtek HD Drivers, still bad sound quality

I followed the previously posted links to download the Realtek HD Audio drivers and installed them, and got sound. But the sound quality is REALLY bad. It crackles and hisses every time a sound plays. It also plays sound on mute, like someone said before. Anybody have a solution to this? I tried the XP drivers, wouldn't even install.

IT WORKED!!! I have clear, good quality sound now. I'm so happy!
I was beginning to think nothing would work!
 
I'd never run Windows on any of my Macs until Win7 came out and started getting such good press on various Mac forums (I'm a switcher: came over to Macs in 2003 after 20 years of using DOS and Windows). Anyway, I installed Win7 on my MacPro, and everything worked well EXCEPT for sound, as many others have noted. It was very faint, regardless of the different fixes I tried. After a week, I got tired having to choose between OS X and Windows at start-up, so I downloaded VMware Fusion 2.0. Apart from it being an awesome program for hot-switching between the two OS's, it solved the sound problem instantly. I now have normal sound qualities in Win7. I assume one of the drivers in the VMware tool-kit is responsible.
 
mr.

if you install window 7 on boot camp or parallels and your are not getting any sound, just go :
1-www.realtek.com
2-click on download tab
3-click on high definition audio codecs(software)
4-accept the agreement,give it 5 second to reload and click next.
5-click on "GO"of Vista driver32/64 bits driver only Executable file, and start downloading install it.

I have tried on my imac and it worked like a charm.
 
I have a question for you all using these new codecs. I have a 24 iMac and installed windows 7 7000 (32bit- Simply because it supports Sandboxie)

I donwloaded the drivers for R214 vista and installed them they work, but the sound is not near as good as VISTA or OS X quality. Everything seems a bit heavy on treble and hallow

I tried every setting in the new properties and could not get a good sound out of them. Im using no external speakers just the iMac's and there is a NOTICABLE quality difference from XP, VISTA or OS X using these drivers.

Anyone else notice this? Or have an answer?
 
I have a speaker hooked up to 24 imac and i can feel a bit of sound distortion off and on. I think this is the best sound you are getting so far untill they come up whith window 7 sound codecs. good luck.

How to get sound -- no downloads.

1.) locate the RealTek driver in the CD. (BOOTCAMP > Drivers > RealTekSetup)

2.) right-click on it, and select "troubleshoot compatability"
3.) wait for it to finish "detecting issues"
4.) select "this program worked on an earlier version of Windows, but won't install or display correctly now"
5.) select Windows Vista or Windows XP
6.) wait for it to finish "resolving issues", the installer will start. This time it will won't fail

worked 4 me :D
 
Im using Windows 7 on my PC, and this thing is off the hook, believe it or not its similar to Leopard in ways, imo quite a bit better.. or at least just as good.. the dock is a lot like Leopards, no more clutter when you open a ton of windows.. its really amazing.. worth the try imo. And Vista drivers do infact work!! so no worries with compatibility..

I can confirm that Sambou's fix worked perfectly for me. I installed Windows 7 on a 24" Alu iMac, bought summer 08. After installing Windows, I installed the Leapord driver disc, and then downloaded these drivers..If anyone is thinking of using this fix, when asked what site to use to download, use site 2, that's by far the fastest...for UK users anyway. Thanks very much for the help guys :D
 
I installed the realtek drivers from my leopard DVD in Vista compatibility mode, and now at least I got *some* sound, but it's very, very, very quiet... The optical port is activated, too, shining all red :confused:

Gonna try downloading Vista_R216.exe, perhaps newer drivers will work better...
 
Thanks for this mate

After trying few other options this worked straightaway on 24' imac 2008. Thanks very much for sharing this info.

Hello,


This is a way to resolve issue with no sound on windows 7,vista,xp on all macbook and mac book pro.

La seul est unique solution poiur avoir le son sur n importe quel macbook, macbook pro

Faite clique droit sur les haut-parleur (qui seront indiquer comme ok mais c est une erreur car le mauvais driver est installé)
Faite mettre à jour le pilote est choississer de choisir vous meme le pilote à installer.
Selectionner le pilote du lien ci dessous.
Et voila....
http://www.stuffedcow.net/files/CirrusAudioXP_Macbook_b.zip

ce driver est valable pour toutes les versions de win xp,vista , seven 32 et 64 bit
pour tout les macbook et macbook pro

PS: ce driver est trouvable sur n importe quel cd de MAC osx ,leopard,snow. dans la rubrique /bootcamp/drivers/cirrus.

a noter que, lors d une instal d un win sur un MAC vous dever installer les drivers Nvidia et broadcom manuellement.

I had the same problem in Vista, and then when trying to upgrade to W7 had a "0x80070005" error so I followed the advise at:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3172 to disable the MacHD volume.

This allowed the W7 upgrade to continue. Then I followed the advice to to run the Repair option for Boot Camp Drivers when runnnig setup from the Snow Leopard DVD.

This also re-installed the sound drivers and now I have full fidelity sound, no rootling around for drivers needed.

Hope you have the same success.
