Is " stereo mix" missing  in your  windows 7 on late 2009 imac 24 or 27 ?

I have a imac 27 running Windows 7 64bit and no stereo mix option.
I am a professor and when I do screen capture of scientific clips I need I can't get audio to record except by the imac mic from the speakers rather than directly.
That destroys the sound quality.
I have tried to download other sound card drivers and still no stereo mix recording or stereo mix playing options in sound!
I have the fairly useless digital audio s/pdif but not the stereo mix which is really needed in all kinds of recording applications.
I also downloaded the cirrus logic drivers shown in another thread for macbook users, but still no stereo mix.
Any idea for a fix?
This is an important basic function for any computer, and I can't understand why this is not supported yet?
Apple has used bootcamp to attract Windows users who want to use Windows natively. This is one of the most basic function, full audio capability.
This problem as well the cpu going 20 percent higher just plugging in a headphone, and the fact that the trrs headphone jack does not work on a trrs headset in windows 7 (including mic) is a real negative. The trrs headset like the iphone headset works fine with its mic in the mac side but not in windows side.
Drivers to make the basic hardware in an imac or macbook work in windows 7 shouldn't be rocket science. We need apple support or an innovative person out there to solve these problems.
If anyone reading this has the stereo mix on the w7 side, please let me know on this thread and maybe I can duplicate it on mine.
If not, we know this problem exists for every windows 7 bootcamp user.
Thanks!
Best to all

Generic, yes, but didn't take into account EFI64 (UEFI 2.x) req'd to native boot a 64-bit DVD of Vista SP1 or later. Apple has a list of those that are supported (actually, a list of UN-supported).

  • HT3918 Mixing RAM modules in a late 2009 iMac

    I have a late 2009 27" iMac that came with only 2 Gig of RAM.  I recently ordered 16 Gig of RAM (4 modules), but they only shipped me 8 Gig (2 modules).  I installed the 8 Gig (still leaving me with 2 empty slots), can I also reinstall the two 1 Gig modules that I removed for a total of 10 Gig?
    Also, if I order an additional 8 Gig from another company will it cause problems to mix products from different companies?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The Late 2009 iMac came with 4 GB on all the models, so maybe you have an Early 2009 iMac.
    Apart from that, if you have a Late 2009, you can use 16 GB of memory, so you can install two 4 GB modules and two 1 GB modules, for a total amount of 10 GB, without any problem. If you have an Early 2009 iMac, 8 GB of memory are the maximum.
    To buy memory, I only recommend you OWC and Crucial, that provides compatible memory with Macs. Other brands may work, but with OWC and Crucial you can be sure that memory will work with your computer > http://www.macsales.com

  • Boot Camp for Windows 7 64 bit on 21.5" late 2009 iMac

    I've read much about installing Windows 7 64 bit on my 21.5" late 2009 iMacs -
    - nevertheless there is some lack of clarity about how to do it right.
    First I read "http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup10.6.pdf".
    That's all well and good, but nowhere in this document is that "USB storage device trick"
    (see "http://support.apple.com/kb/DL995") mentioned! On the other hand, in that DL995
    description there's nowhere mentioned that there are additional steps to do afterwards!
    OK - first I prepared my USB storage device according to DL995, made a 201GB partition,
    inserted the 64 bit Windows 7 DVD and ran the installation without any problems.
    Windows works, but brightness and volume controls for example don't work.
    (When I press F1 I get Windows help etc.)
    I can't find Boot Camp installed under Windows anywhere!
    After the same installation on my second 21.5" iMac everything looks identical
    with the exception that under "Bluetooth Devices" on one machine there's
    "Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse" installed - on the other
    machine NOT, even tough I've NEVER used Bluetooth devices any of both
    machines (just used wired Apple keyboard and USB Trackball).
    How can this be? What's wrong?
    Before I continue (OS X disc, 3.1 update... if required at all?),
    how can I verify that the USB storage device had been used at all?/
    How would it look if it wouldn't have been used?
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your reply.
    You inserted and ran Apple setup off your OS X DVD once W7 was updated and running?
    That adds a bunch of devices and services, OSSwitcher, TimeServices, the Boot Camp
    control panel, and would show Boot Camp version 3.0 in Programs control panel.
    Yes, I know, but I haven't installed it yet. First I want to make sure that the first
    step of the installation (DL995) worked well. on both Macs. Do you know how this
    could be verified? What should have been installed from the USB device?
    It puzzles me that on my 2nd iMac under "Bluetooth Devices"
    "Apple Wireless Keyboard" and "Apple Wireless Mouse"haven't been installed.
    Maybe this is a clue, that on that iMac the USB device had been ignored
    during windows installation? Or could that have another reason?
    This is my problem at the moment.

    If your computer with an internal optical drive you must use that to install Windows in a Boot Camp partition.
    If you are having problems with Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox virtual machines you should visit their respective sites for assistance.

  • I have a late 2009 iMac, with a Nvidia 9400 Graphics card.  I was wondering what my options are for upgrading.  I use Windows 7 via Bootcamp, so I need a card that is compatible.

    I have a late 2009 iMac, with the default Nvidia 9400 Graphics card.
    I was wondering what my options are for upgrading.  I use Windows 7 via Bootcamp, so I need a card that is compatible/has available drivers.
    This is for gaming. On the lowest settings of "Call of Duty 4", I get about 100 FPS... Was hoping to be able to play on higher resolution w/o the fps lag.
    I'm not good with the hardware part of computers at all, but know how to get around the OS.

    In most cases the graphics cards in iMacs are Not upgradeable.  They are usually soldered to the logic board.  RAM is considered, along with harddrives, the only component that is upgradeable in an iMac, unlike in PC's.  So basically you would need to sell your unit and purchase an iMac with a more powerful graphics card.
    Hope this helps

  • Installing Windows 7 on a late 2009 iMac running Mavericks

    I'm running a perfectly good late-2009 iMac running Mavericks and had a bootcamp partition that worked until I needed to replace my hard drive.
    Now I want to install Windows 7 (via bootcamp) for gaming.  Bootcamp 5 won't download the software or allow a USB/ISO Windows 7 load due to my model/ROM version, which is:
    Model Name:               iMac
    Model Identifier:          iMac10,1
    Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed:          3.33 GHz
    Number of Processors:          1
    Total Number of Cores:         2
    L2 Cache:                      6 MB
    Memory:                       8 GB
    Bus Speed:                    1.33 GHz
    Boot ROM Version:        IM101.00CC.B00
    I've read quite a few threads about the apple software download server issues, creating an ISO, adjusting the BootCamp package, using virtualbox, etc. to bypass this.  But can't find anything addressing my specific situation where I'm running mavericks AND have an older ROM version that won't allow USB install for some stupid reason.
    I've made an ISO boot disk (and USB), tried adjusting my BootCamp package strings, and have virtualbox, winclone, Daemon tools, etc. but can't get to the point where I can upload the bootcamp software and Win7.  Has anyone solved this problem?

    No one has done this before?

  • Late 2009 iMac Windows installer won't run

    So I will explain with more detail. My iMac is the late 2009 21.5 inch iMac with a..
    Intel core 2 duo processor
    4GB of
    500GB HDD
    So I followed the bootcamp guide which was made by apple.  I opened up the bootcamp assistant and downloaded all of the software needed, and started partitioning the disk. I made about 40GB of space for my Windows side. After the partition completed, my mac restarted and started to read the DVD. However, I only get a black screen, and I can't get the Windows 7 installer to run. I thought I have some problems with my install disk so I used virtual box to see if the dvd works. When I used it on virtual box, the installer started and everything went fine. But when I use this for bootcamp, it did not work. I tried resetting everything, using a different installation disk, redo the partitioning, or boot up the disk by pressing the option key at the startup and selecting the disc. But none of them worked. I don't know why this is not working, since windows installed without any problems on my macbook pro retina. If someone was in the same situation or knows a solution for this, please help me. Again it is the Late 2009 iMac 21.5 inch model.

  • Installing Windows 7 on 2009 iMac with Radeon 4850 graphics (Guide)

    Howdy
    (This was originally posted in the iMac forum by me as a reply to a Windows 7 question, but I figured it may be useful here too. This may be adjustable to work on other 2009 series macs, but I make no promises. If anyone has any tips on how to get the things working that I mentioned as not, feel free to reply. I would love keyboard volume control specifically :p)
    I was able to get Windows 7 64bit installed on my 2009 iMac. I was expecting it not to work, but in the end it did (with surprisingly little effort)
    I have the following iMac:
    Early 2009 iMac
    3.06 GHz
    4GB Ram
    Radeon 4850
    How to get video to work:
    1) Download latest "desktop" video drivers from ATI's site (I used catalyst 9.7)
    32 bit: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-32bit
    64 bit: http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=win7/windows-7-64bit
    2) Run MobilityModder from the following link: http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php
    3) Follow the directions on the page (When it sais Vista only, that means Win7 too)
    How to get audio to work:
    1) Download exe installer from the following page: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24 &Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
    2) Run the installer
    Things that do work
    Video (Built in version isn't the best, follow directions above)
    Audio (Built in version doesn't work, follow directions above)
    Wireless Internet (Built in)
    Wired Internet (Built in)
    Bluetooth (mouse and keyboard) (Built in)
    Things that I haven't figured out
    1) How to get the 64bit apple software frontend to install (the taskbar icon)
    2) How to get volume keys to work (the apple keyboard driver actually is worse than default)
    3) Things like changing brightness (but I would assume this would go with getting the apple frontend software to work)
    Comments
    1) It is blazing fast
    2) While this works on 64bit, I don't think 32bit would be much different to setup
    3) Using the latest ATI drivers are important because they support the new Windows 7 driver model (WDDM 1.1). While older versions may work (like bootcamp 2.1), they won't be the most advanced or fastest performing.
    4) While I haven't been able to install the bootcamp software (Win7 warns that it is incompatible), from what I've read (all the posts about DPC latency), it is probably better off for performance
    5) Your mileage may vary, I haven't tested this on anything other than my 24" radeon 4850 iMac. I also haven't tested it on 32bit, so don't blame me if something doesn't work right. Basically, if you break something it isn't my fault
    6) Bluetooth pairing is somewhat quirky, it usually goes pretty quickly for the mouse. Sometimes it will take multiple tries (canceling out, and starting again, etc) especially for the keyboard. Once everything is paired though it works perfect without any extra drivers.
    7) Remember this isn't supported by Apple yet.

  • Late 2009 iMac no brightness control windows 8 in bootcamp

    Gues I'm not the first, but I recently installed Windows 8 on my Imac late 2009 model, running Maverick on the OSX side of things. When I try to install drivers for Bootcamp, it tells me that they are not for my model etc. Any Ideas people? My retinas are burning!!

    Restart the machine in Safe Mode and then restart normally and re-test. A Safe Mode reset resets some caches, it's possible one or more of yours is corrupt. To do a Safe Mode reset, hold down the Shift Key when you hear the startup tone until you see a progress bar appear, let it fully boot then restart normally and retest.

  • Blank screen when installing Windows 7 on my Late 2009 iMac

    So before I drop everything and start hitting my head agains the wall I figured I would make one more stop and ask folks on the forum.
    I'm trying to install Windows 7 Pro on my "late 2009" 27" iMac. Here is a quick config.
    Here are the exact steps I take:
    1. Start Boot Camp Assistant
    2. Select both options to download Windows components and install Windows 7... and make the partion (80GB) allocation to Windows partition
    3. Insert the Windows installation disc (Pro, full version)
    Everything seems to be running smooth, meaning I see the windows installer and I'm able to select the partition where I want Windows to reside and here are the last few things I see...
    Right after the Starting Windows the screen goes blank and that's is. If I simply restart at this point it goes back to the Starting Windows and blank screen again (no option to choose OS).
    Since the wireless keyboard is not functioning at this point I learned to take out the CD from the drive by holding the mouse button on startup. From there I insert an installation disc for Snow Leopard and boot from disc by holding the "C" button on my USB keyboard. It lunches the Utilities where I'm able to select The Start Up Disk and here is where I actually see both partitions. That's how I got back to OS.
    So what am I doing wrong? I though that it had to do something with the video driver but if the installer works than I should be able to go in there after it's in place and run the correct driver from the WindowsSupport folder that I downloaded earlier. I have tried this with 32-bit and 64-bit version of Windows 7 pro with the same negative result.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I called the App store to see if they can assist but the only thing they suggested was CrossOver which doesn't help me.
    Does anyone have any ideas on what to do/change?
    Thank you.
    Best regards,
    Marcin

    Got it!
    After posting my question I noticed the "More like this" category and the second discussion was a hit.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11290644#11290644
    It was a display driver. All I needed to do was to boot from the CD again and following the directions in the post.
    Worked like a charm.

  • 64-bit Windows 7 on late 2009 iMacs only?

    with any of these Mac computers:
    - A Mac Pro or MacBook Pro introduced in early 2008 or later
    - An iMac or MacBook introduced in late 2009 or later
    Is this true?
