Windows 7 Bootcamp 3.1 No Sound

Having a strange issue with a Windows 7 64 install on a 27" iMac (i5). I've installed Bootcamp 3.1, fixed the terrible banding issue that generally plagues me every time I do one of these 27" Bootcamp installs, and (for the very first time, having done this install several times) I'm having a strange issue with the audio. I get no sound from the speakers, but the headphones work fine.
I've tried installing all the drivers I could think of, and still no ducks. The problem persists. Anyone seen (or heard) a similar issue?

I resolved this issue by squashing the gnat with a hammer. I reinstalled Boot Camp and, voila, the sound now works swimmingly.
For anyone having this issue, who cannot solve the problem, try uninstalling Boot Camp Services from Windows 7 and then reinstall Boot Camp 3.0 and 3.1.

Running Windows 7(32) on MBA - sound crackling, stuttering

I did a search on this and found some posts from other users (see below)but no solution. I have upgraded the driver to 6.0.1.6235, I have installed the recent update of Bootcamp (3.2.2646), but the issue remains. Sounds playing in different applications are effected, though it seems to be more frequent when playing locally stored content (buffering??)
When running in MacOS 10.6, the sound works perfectly. Have anyone managed to solve this? Or, perhaps someone NOT having this issue could get in touch, so I could try to replicate your settings/drivers.

Hi,

, Win 7 x64 RTM since August 09.
Just this week, I reinstalled Windows 7 x64 fully legit ... NEVER had this stuttering problem until now. I was running Bootcamp 2 under Windows 7 before ...I don't think this is a hardware issue and here is why:
I have a Rev A MBA (1.8ghz ....0.1.5936
I really think this issue is caused by the Realtek Driver and/or Bootcamp 3.0/3.1

I have the same problem, and also tried several drivers from Realtek Website.
Also updated bootcamp to 3.1 but problem still exists!!
At the beginning i thought it might be HW related problem, but sound works flawlessly on MAC OS.
Any advice?
David

I don't think this is a hardware issue and here is why:
I have a Rev A MBA (1.8ghz, 64gbSSD) purchased in Feb 2008. Ive run OSX 10.5 Leopard for a year, and Win7 x64 Beta since Feb 09, Win 7 x64 RTM since August 09.
Just this week, I reinstalled Windows 7 x64 fully legit version. I installed the OS as my only OS, and installed Bootcamp 3.0 and then 3.1.
Ive NEVER had this stuttering problem until now. I was running Bootcamp 2 under Windows 7 before and didnt have any problems with stuttering audio.
My current version of Realtek drivers is 6.0.1.5936
I really think this issue is caused by the Realtek Driver and/or Bootcamp 3.0/3.1

How do I share Mac music and photo files when in Windows Bootcamp mode?

I have a new iMac with a terabyte of storage that includes about 30 gigs each of iTunes music and jpg photos. I need to share them to the Windows Bootcamp environment so I can wirelessly stream to them to a DLink DSM 320 media server connected to an AV system located in another room. When in Bootcamp Windows the the 320 can "see" the Windows machine but cannot find any media.
So the question is, how do I share files between Mac and Windows when in Windows Bootcamp?
A better solution would be to directly connect the Dlink when in the Mac environment but I have not been able to find software to do that (the Dlink product is for PC only.) If anyone knows of such software that would be great too.

Windows needs third party software to see files on the MAC OS extended FS. I've heard MacDrive does this.

Windows XP X64 Soundmax ADI1986A Sound drivers

Windows XP X64 Soundmax ADI1986A Sound drivers
Does anyone have these drivers >>> Soundmax ADI1986A FOR WINDOWS XP X64
There is a X64 version working under Vista X64 Ultimate provided by the Lenovo site, but for XP X64 i found none.
I must say, with the UAA Driver for High Definition Audio 1986A X64 Windows 2003 installed, there is sound only in my headphones (so the jack is working) , but the speakers are off. I really do not understand how this comes.
Does anyone confronted with this issue ? Does anyone has a working XPx64 ADI1986A sounddriver ?
( I forgot to tell the notebook model lenovo 3000 N100 0768-bng intel core2duo T5500 )

I am in deep trouble finding those x64 drivers.
For the Bluetooth stack, it complains about being unable to find the Bluetooth device. It keeps on saying "Please plug in the Bluetooth device.". Nothing more...
For the sound card, Analog Devices does not provide drivers to individuals. Instead, they forward you to the OEM manufacturer web site, in our case the Toshiba downloads site, where you can find nothing.
I understand that Toshiba is not delivering those machines with 64 bit operating systems.

Creative Cloud on Mac OSX and Windows Bootcamp on the same machine.

Hello,
I am looking into getting 3DStudio Max which is a Windows only program but will need to flip flop between 3DSM and Photoshop. I am wondering, can I install my Adobe apps on both Operating Systems so that I can have them on my regular Mac OSX for normal work and in Windows Bootcamp for when I do 3D renderings? I rather not use a Virtual Machine considering both of those programs are going to take a lot of RAM already. Adding another program to that mix I feel will just overheat/slow down my machine.
Thank you for your thoughts and time,
Sarah

that's interesting. it may be a problem, but give it a try.
just open your bootcamp windows, navigate to https://creative.adobe.com/ and start downloading ps. a cc desktop app will download to your bootcamp windows and hopefully you ps will work on your bootcamp windows. i don't see any reason why it would stop working your mac, but that will count as your two installations so you will not be able to install on another computer.

To the best of my knowledge, Windows is not capable of setting a specific sound card based on the app being used, it's all or nothing.

Is it possible to get ReadWrite Mac HFS+ drivers for windows 7 so I can manage my Mac formatted Backups through windows bootcamp?

Hello!
I was just curious if there was a driver or something I can install so that I can read and write my mac OSX formatted [HFS+] external drives in Windows 7,
using the windows file explorer [the equivalent for finder].
This is essential for me because I need the windows explorer copy/file transfer dialog box with all it's options and functionality.
Any suggestions relating either to windows bootcamp, or running windows through vmware fusion next to mountain lion [I would much prefer to be able to do this with VMWare Fusion, but either way is absolutely fine.]
I need this because I need to do HEAPS of file management,
and I find finder's file transfer / copy dialog box to be totally inadequate, hopeless and almost useless, [a nightmare in fact] next to the excellent functionality of Windows 7 file transfer dialog.
This has been my most hated issue with OSX for years now.
File management is a total nightmare in OSX.
I may make another post / feature request detailing my hatred of this lack of functionality, because it kills me every time I have to manage and backup large folders filled with lots of files and subfolders.
Sorry for the end-rant.
Thanks so much for any help! (:

Hello Alberto and Woodmeister50,
thank you for both your answers.
I have to try and remember to state things I have tried previously or am aware of; my bad!
Alberto:
Thanks for your ideas.
I'm aware of ex-fat format.
Unfortunately, my external drives are quite full and a reformat or EXFAT partition is out of the question.
I'm formatted them OSX extended journaled a couple of years back before I was aware of exfat.
I could buy yet another drive, but I don't really want to do that until SSD's come down in price and expand in size.
[also, while not a big issue, I hear EXFAT can't handle files bigger than 4gb. Not that I have many such files, so that's not really a big concern].
So doing my file organization through windows explorer is, to my knowledge, the best option,
if it is possible. [I hope!]
This would be a perfectly satisfactory solution for me if I can use Windows Explorer through VMware to manage and organize the files and folder on my HFS+ external drives.
I'm not sure if paragon HFS+ or Macdrive allow you to use windows explorer to manage files?
Or only through their own file manager and dialogs?
A costly gamble if they do not, and if their file/folder transfer dialog also happens to be inadequate.
Woodmeister :
Thanks.
Actually, my problem is both HFS+ / windows compatibility AND that I hate finder
[the HFS problem being a result of the fact I hate finder]
I have tried Pathfinder [the demo version though, maybe it has limited functionality],
and I have found it's file transfer dialog / options / functionality to be very totally lacking as well.
Others I have tried.
Mac Explorer.
MoveAddict doesn't seem to work for me presently, although I hear it might be good.
Total finder is fantastic for other reasons but does nothing for the copy dialog.
Um.... there were a bunch of others I tried, but all no good.
So I guess my question is still the same, with a bit more specific information now
For a very in-depth review/analysis of the hatred of finder's lack of features in this area,
there are many threads on many forums, such as can be found if you google for the thread on this forum
GOOGLE : MacRumors OS X: how to merge folder contents, not replace
Please ignore the fact that some ex-windows people are just not used to the fact that "replace" in finder means to replace a whole folder, as this is not the issue.
The lack of functionality is, and there are many pages of mac-loving people complaining about it.

Disk repair failed after using osx with hibernated windows/bootcamp with macdrive

hi,
i just realized i did something really,really stupid.
I forgot I just closed the lid of my MBP the last time I used windows/bootcamp (instead of shutting it down) and that triggered hibernation.
The next time I powered my MBP on, OSX startet automatically and I opened some of the same files that "were already open" in the hibernated windows (on osx main/boot partition, using macdrive in windows).
That (or resuming the hibernated windows later) probably led to some data corruption that prevents the osx volume from booting and neither the automatical repairing during booting nor disk utility (external hdd or recovery partition) is able to repair it. (not sure if there is any difference).
Booting in verbose mode shows the file names that were double-opened during repair attempts.
After booting osx from an external HDD, Disk utility fails mounting the main osx volume straight away, but succeeds with mounting it after a failed repair attempt.
I only have read acces then, though.
bootcamp partition is still working fine, btw
1. I wonder if it is possible to gain write access somehow and if deleting just those "double-opened" files/the containing folder (which is saved on dropbox btw, so I really wouldnt mind deleting them/it) would solve the whole problem or if i really have to reformat everything and spend 10+ hours to revert everything to the state before the data corruption. ?
2. if I have to reformat + reinstall, using migration assistant and the corrupted volume as source isn't a great idea, i guess? are there any options to exclude some specific folders of the user folders?
3. will the bootcamp partition work after reinstalling osx or do i have to winclone-it somewhere? checkdisk says the volume is OK btw.
many thanks!

Hi 3tc, thnx for a tip.

Factory reset of a Windows (Bootcamp) partition

Hi,
I just recently did a system recovery of my Mac OS X partition and imported only the User files because the system files had somehow become corrupted. I would like to do the same thing for my Bootcamp partition, but I am not sure of what program to use to erase the Bootcamp partition that would also allow me to access the Windows 7 recovery file. Do I use disk utility via the Mac partition or do I use the system configuration via the Windows 7 partition? I don't want to do a full backup and restore, but I want to do a partial one where I can get only the files that I really need back on.
Thanks for your help,
Stephen

If you erased and installed the MacintoshHD partition and restored that new and just your files, then you should be able to option/alt key boot into the Windows BootCamp partition like before which then you can backup files out of that to a external drive, then boot back into OS X and use the BootCamp Utiliy to remove the BootCamp Partition and start all over again with a fresh Windows install.
There is System Restore in Windows, type System Restore in the Windows Start Menu to go to it, it allows you to restore your Windows and installed Apps back to a earlier state, but keeps your files intact.
Then you Windows Update and check all your third party software and browser plugins for updates.
Then you update your anti-virus definitions and run a scan on the drive to detect malware on your users files and delete, restore those from backup.
There is the rare malware that really hoses a Windows machine so even System Restore doesn't work, but your supposed to use WinClone 3 in OS x to backup the BootCamp partition so it can be restored from OS X.
So that's your options.

Problem with wi-fi in windows bootcamp

I have a problem with wif-i connection in my new MacBook Pro 15" with Mountain Lion. I installed bootcamp and windows and all OK, except that my wi-fi connection does not work properly in windows. The conection to internet is OK in Mountain Lion both with cable and wi-fi, and also with cable in windows bootcamp, but the wi-fi connection does not work. In the window information it seems that the computer connects to the router but not to the internet. I think that first days after intalling windows it was OK, but probably windows actualizations have changed something. If I disconnect the wifi network and reconnect again a message indicating connection to internet is shown during some seconds, but afterwards it disapear and the connection to internet is lost.
Some idea to fix the problem? Thank you

Did you download and install the Windows Support software? One of the first menu items when you ran Bootcamp Assistant was to download the support software. Then from within Windows you had to install the support software you downloaded. This support software includes the wifi drivers.

I am running Win 8.1 on bootcamp and cannot get sound from internal speaker

Do you have any unknown devices in Device Manager with a yellow triangle and exclamation mark?
Are the Bootcamp drivers installed?
You should something similar to the following for Sound Devices, if the drivers are installed.

Will reinstalling OS X Tiger remove my windows bootcamp partition?

The header is all I want to know guys, im reinstalling OS X due to some probs with CrossOver and I just wanted to know what will happen to my windows bootcamp partition.
Thanks in advance.
- Jason

When you go to reinstall OS X, it will pull up the HD and ask you where to install it and you get to choose the partition. It will leave the Windows partition alone.
Now, if you choose to do a complete erase and install and instruct Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and remove all partitions - it will do just that.

"System Progressive" virus on Windows/Bootcamp partition

Hi. I got the System Progressive virus (or a similarly named virus) on the Windows/Bootcamp side of my iMac. Can I use my time machine to restore the windows partition to a previous date? If I can, how do I do that safely without screwing up my system? Thank you in advance to anyone who can help answer my questions. These forums are great and I really appreciate all of the smart people who help us dummies out. You guys/gals are the best!

TM doesn't back up Windows, did you not use a Windows backup program at all?
Good luck with removing the virus but I would suggest removing and reinstalling Windows
