I can usually figure out any issue dealing with my Mac but this one has me stumped and I give up.
Problem: Can't get sound in external speakers in Windows 7 on iMac using Boot Camp. Sound works fine on OSX side and in Parallels
Current Status: Everything else works, I can even get sound out of the headphone jack when I make it the default but not the speakers. A red light appears coming out of headphone jack only.
Setup:
iMac 27" 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
ATI Radeon HD 4850
Bootcamp 3.0.1
Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium
Steps I've tried to correct at this point:
1) Installed drivers from Snow Leopard disk manually, they wouldn't install automatically saying it didn't work on this architecture.
2) Downloaded latest drivers from Realtek
3) Made speakers default with no luck, making headphones default does allow sound out of them
I am at my wits end now, it was hard enough to even get Windows to work in Boot Camp on my i7, had to use flash drive with special drivers to get it to install. I also can't get Boot Camp 3.1 to install either
I have read numerous threads on this but nothing works.
Any help would make me beyond grateful, thanks!
