Mavericks - Windows7 bootcamp speakers issues

I have a 13" mid 2009 macbook pro recently upgraded to mavericks and after that, I partitioned my hard drive with bootcamp and installed windows 7. All good so far but my speakers don't work when I'm in windows. Device manager says everything is working fine and it doesn't think there are head phones plugged in or anything (which I've seen has been a problem for some people.) I tried to re-install the drivers on the windows disk as suggested but I get the "bootcamp x64 is unsupported on this computer model" error. I tried a couple of things from past posts but I either got that all the drivers were installed and up to date or I got kinda stuck and couldn't follow the suggested instructions because I don't have any real coding skills (I've only ever written code in SAS for research purposes.) Also my bootcamp folder that I downloaded doesn't have a bootcamp64.msi file, only a bootcamp.msi file. Again, I am having no other problems with windows so far. It's just the lack of sound. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. If you're insight requires coding please be SUPER specific about what needs to be typed in the command prompt. Thanks!
I used bootcamp 5.0.533, though I'm told there is a bootcamp 5.1.0. Don't know if that could be making a difference.

sorry, just read your post again and your mac doesnt support 64bit. mid 2009 pro's with duo 2 core processers only support 32 bit.
however 64 bit software does run, but in certain cases like yours problems will persist.
if the sound is important to you then the only option is to start again using the 32 bit version.

Marvericks Destroyed Windows7 Bootcamp Partition

Hi Apple Support and Community.
I have recently updated my Mac OS X Snow Leopard to the new Mac OS X Marvericks. Although I am extremely happy of the performance improvement in the Mac, unfortunately I lost all my Windows7 Bootcamp data and a lot of important journals for my profession.
My Windows7 Partition no longer appears in the Bootable Option (Hold + Alt @ Startup) and under Disk Utility shows up as "Disk0s4". When I try to repair it, this happens:
Verify and Repair volume “disk0s4”Checking file system** /dev/disk0s4
Invalid BS_jmpBoot in boot block: 010101
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
This is extremely frustrating. Although formating is my last option, I really do not want to proceed this way... I have many files and programs on it... It is extremely dissappointing that this happened. Can anyone please tell me how to restore it or mount it back on?

Here's what a did to fix my issue. Don't try the repair in disk utility, that will get your partition worst. For everyone that Mavericks kill bootcamp here's how to fix the issue :
- I am running Windows 8 Pro
- I have updated from 10.8.4 to 10.9 (Mavericks) and Bootcamp (Windows) wasnt working (asking me to insert a CD/DVD).
1- I have plug a USB DVD drive with my Original Copy of Windows 8 Pro
2- Boot from DVD and choose Advanced
3- Click "Troubleshooting"
4- Click "Auto Repair"
5- Computer will reboot with no message and WIndows will work again
I hope this will work for you guys, this has been tested 3 times actually. I have co-workers that updated and their Windows got destroyed (no bootable). One of them was Windows 7, so that should work for you as well.
Good luck!

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why?

I can't install Windows 8.1 on my Imac 27" with Mavericks using Bootcamp. Why? I first did all the software updates needed, downloaded the driver software to a 32Gb flash drive formatted as FAT32, fired up Bootcamp Assistant, inserted the Windows 8.1 Full version 64 bit installation DVD as requested, and got as far as partitioning (tried this at 82 Gb for the Windows partition), then the MAC rebooted but halted before getting to the login page. Then a black screen came up with the error message: 'non-system disk - Press any key to reboot'. I did this and nothing happened. I was forced to shut down forcibly then restart with my finger held down on the option key. Then a screen came up with two icons: the macintosh HD icon and the Windows DVD icon. I double-clicked on the Windows DVD icon and the MAC came up with another black screen and error message: 'CDBoot: Couldn't find BOOTMGR'. Had to shut down forcibly again and restart as before, this time ejecting the Windows DVD first. Then I repartitioned my MAC back to all OSX. What the **** do I do now? Applecare couldn't help me beyond this point. They said to contact Microsoft. I notice a lot of other MAC owners have had similar problems.
Please help? tagjsmith.

Speakers issue

Hi,
I posted a question about a speakers issue last year. It was rapidly solved.
You can read the subject "Problems with my speakers" to know more, but please answer here as the original subject have been archived and replies are not allowed.
The problem is getting back today but unfortunately, I cannot fix it with earphones, because I don't have any...
I've tried every other solution proposed on this page and nothing does... Is there any other way I can fix this?
Thanks
(Here is the problem as I described it last year
"Hi there.
I use a Macbook Pro and my speakers allways worked perfectly.
But I just watched a video online with a very low volume so I used earphones to hear better.
Then I came up to listen music again in my speakers, but no sound came out. I tried to raise up the volume, but there's an interdiction sign (circle with a diagonal in it) so I cannot lower or raise the volume... In the hole (entry? sorry i'm francophone...) for the earphones there's a red light coming out...
What's the matter? Have I made something wrong?
Thanks for your help" )

Your analog audio switch is stuck if there is a red light on inside the jack. Stick a wooden toothpick in the socket, wiggle it around and see if you can dislodge the switch. If you can't, it will need to be taken apart to service.

Why doesn't the MBPr support 2560x1440 over HDMI with OSX when Windows7 (bootcamp) supports it just fine?

I purchased a 2013 MBPr 15" (the first Mac I've ever owned btw) and so far have enjoyed the experience. I purchased a large 27" high resolution 2560x1440 non-Apple display which I planned on using HDMI output for, since HDMI has no problem supporting this resolution. After receiving this display yesterday I came to the sad realization that OSX does not support 2560x1440 over HDMI. However, under further investigation I found that Windows7 in Bootcamp on the same machine will beautifully display the full 2560x1440 over HDMI.
This means that OSX is the problem, and not the MBPr since Windows7 displayed the full resolution with no issue. If the hardware can support it, why would Apple disable it in the software? Is this just their way of forcing people to use DisplayPort? Or is there hope for them fixing this in future versions?

OK. No reason to be playing games here. Just surprised that this issue hasn't been brought up here on the community boards as well. Here's the simple solution

After reaching a Level III technician in Belkin customer support today and having spent approximately 4-5 person hours on this issue, we figured out that the Sound/Output preferences in the Apple System Preferences should not be set to "Internal Speakers" but rather set to "USB PnP Sound Device".
Worked like a charm. Simple, elegant solution to a real problem, one likely to be encountered by 90% of the people who buy a Belkin Thunderbid Express Dock off the shelves of any Apple Store to use with a current generation Apple laptop or desktop computer.
But the Level III Belkin technician admmtted that this critical little piece of simple, straightforward information should have been readily available to their Level 1 techies who began helping me 5 person hours ago. Would even have saved Balkin loads of customer service support time.
And so the saga ends
Belkin owes me for helping them learn this precious lesson.

Help with Bootcamp (Speakers and mighty mouse scroll wheel not working)

So I just loaded bootcamp onto my macbook but I'm having some problems. First, my scroll bar on my mighty mouse doesn't work when in Windows. The only help I've seen online has been for those who haven't yet loaded windows. Can I still download a driver that will help me out? My speakers also are not working and the Realtek driver that everyone said worked for them didn't work for me. Advice?

Sorry, this is not possible in the current version of Firefox, but we have an open bug report where we are tracking this issue here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686228
With luck it will be fixed in a future version.

Mavericks 10.9.4 Issues

I have a Mid 2010 MacBook Pro with a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo processor, 4 GB of memory, and a 250 GB hard drive. Although my computer is getting older I was not having any problems with it until I downloaded the Mavericks 10.9.4 software package recently because the constant update requests were getting annoying (stupid reason for an update I know). Anyways, I almost immediately noticed my computer running slower, especially with either streaming or playing a movie from the disk drive. Being a novice computer person, I have done some preliminary searching and self-diagnostics and see that even when I am not using Safari or playing a movie I am running at just below 3 GB of my 4 GB RAM total. Again, I only started having problems after the update. I guess I have multiple questions:
1. What is an ideal amount of RAM memory I should be using for casual computer usage like internet browsing or movies? (is 3 out of the 4 GB too much stress on the computer for constant use?)
2. What are ways I can cut down on the amount of RAM I am using at a given time?
3. I have seen a lot on the message boards about this being a Mavericks issue, does anyone think this is a temporary issue (until a further update) or is there something wrong with my current memory set up?
4. Is there a way to un-update my software back to Mountain Lion if I did not have a time capsule update saved before the software update? (Yes I know, that would have been a smart thing to do)
5. For future reference does anyone know if there is a way to push off the computer constantly asking to install new updates and let me set that schedule myself?
Also I have included the results from my EtreCheck if that helps anyone, I cannot make much of the results right now but I am going to continue looking to see if I can decipher what is happening:

Windows7/Bootcamp on Sonnet-Tempo-SSD-Card over PCIe?

Hi,
I have Windows7-Pro/Bootcamp 3 on a SSD and it works fine, but over internal SATA-Port with only max. 3 Gbit/s.
The SSD on Sonnet-Tempo-SSD can work with 6 Gbit/s over PCIe-Port.
Is it possible to install Windows/Bootcamp 5 in this way, will it be bootable then
with the latest Bootcamp 5 now?
Sonnet Support so far says:
"Unfortunately, you will not be able to run Windows/Bootcamp from the Tempo SSD card, as the drive is recognized as an externally mounted volume, and in order to run these OSes, the drives need to be mounted internally (through one of the drive bays) in order for the boot to work properly.
Windows will load normally if the Tempo SSD cards are mounted in a PC, likewise, OS X will boot if used in a Mac, but unfortunately, running a virtual machine (Bootcamp) will not work in the Mac".

Sonnet will not boot Windows in boot camp, but the Apricorn Solo x2 will

Windows 7 install on late 2011 MacBook Pro without bootcamp (performance issues)

Hey guys I'm hoping I can get this issue resolved. I have purchased a late 2011 MacBook Pro (radeon 6750m 1gig). I installed a fresh copy of windows 7 without bootcamp. Having real issues with game performance like world of Warcraft. I have done this with an older unibody Mac and it ran great (for any non believer)... But now this time around I'm getting horrible fps in game. I'm thinking it may be driver related it buy I am having trouble finding the right drivers to see if that's then issue. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

That is completely false. There is no real need to leave OS X on the Mac if you don't want to, especially with Win 7 or 8. That may of been true with Windows XP but not anymore.
The problem with leaving OS X installed is then you are really limited with what you can do with the drive. You can only have one Windows partition and if you fool with it at all Windows will no longer boot. you can't even change the OS X partition otherwise Windows would boot
Windows 7 will install all by itself. No need for any Boot loaders or Hack Boot system. Pop the Win 7 DVD in the DVD drive and restart. Windows will be installed all by itself. But you do need the Apple support files.
In the end if you are going to run Windows on a computer by itself then you really should not buy a Mac. The hardware is the same and as to the OPs perceived better built quality I personally do not see it. And if you actually read some of the posts on this and other Mac forums you will see that perceived build quality is just a bunch of hype, in my opinion.
To the OP. You aren't missing anything.
If you had carefully read what I wrote, I merely said that doing the install on a blank drive wasn't a good idea. That's because it can create issues the OP is having. A Mac's hardware is no different than a comparable Windows machine, but the EFI/BIOS/Firmware is. Macs are in something of a no-man's land in this regard, as they have neither an old-school BIOS or modern UEFI of recent Windows-based notebooks. I'm willing to bet that the performance problems the OP is having relates to the fact that a straight EFI install on a modern MBP "enables" (for lack of a better word) automatic graphic switching. The capability manifests, but the functionality is not there. Enterprising individuals have been trying to get graphic switching in Windows to work as it does on the OS X side ever since MacBooks debuted with this abliity but with zero success.
Using Boot Camp bypasses this, as the discreet GPU is enabled full-time in Windows. Thus, you will realize proper performance.
As far as perceived build quality, Apple machines are at the high end of the consumer notebook spectrum. They're certainly better than most of the other machines you can pick up at your local Best Buy, but they fall short of business-class machines such as the Dell Latitude/Precision, HP ProBook/EliteBook, and Lenovo ThinkPad.

Installing Windows 8.1 with bootcamp, partition issues.

So I am trying to install windows 8.1 onto my MBP running the latest 10.9.2 operating system. It took a while to get the HD to successfully partition, however when I finally got it working, upon booting from the USB drive I got this error message
windows cannot be installed to this disk. the selected disk has an mbr partition table windows can only be installed to GPT disks
Is there any way to change the partition table or to fix this?
I just tried restoring the partition to one, verifiying and repairing the disk in recovery mode, then re-running boot camp, issue persists.
running late 2011 15" MBP

Well, when you start the computer you should press ALT to show the boot manager. With Windows 8 and 8.1 (for Windows 7 there's not this problem) there should be three different icons: the OS X one, and then two called Wininstall (or something like that) and the other is similar but there should be written something like "EFI Boot".
Well, don't choose the EFI Boot one and you should be fine.
If you choose the first one the Windows installer format the Bootcamp partition correctly, and then you can start the procedure.

Cannot install Windows 7 on Mavericks via BootCamp

I have the USB drive in and an ISO of Win7. It starts the installation fine, but when it gets to the question of which partition to install it on, there are 4 partitions, the first three are a few hundred megs each and the last one is my main 256 GB partition. However, none of the partitions allow Windows to be installed on them. I even formatted the 256GB partion to NTFS, still no luck. I then deleted and recreated the partition in Windows, still the same issue, can't be installed. What to do? This is on a MacBookPro Retina.

Find the one "Bootcamp" that BCA created. It will be FAT32. Use the Advanced Options in the Windows install step to format it. You did that, then something else going on.
If that is what you did then you have some other drives connected that are GUID more likely.
Both are in the install pdf and tech articles. I liked the old support product pages check

Macbook Pro running Mavericks. Multiple display issue

I didn't have this problem running OS X Mountain Lion but now that I have upgraded to Mavericks the display on my second monitor (an HD TV) is too large for the screen and no resolution changes from the display menu have any effect
To be clear, the issue seems to be that the detected screen is larger than the actual monitor causing the edges of the display to be cut off. This is most evident in full screen mode as it cuts off things such as video action bars from view and the tabs from the top of browser search windows (especially annoying with browser windows as it also hides from view the minimize button).
Is there any way to adjust the screen size in OS X Mavericks as changing the resolution does nothing. Any help much appreciated.

I should also add that it has the problem where when it goes to sleep it's 50/50 as to whether it will wake up or not. If I click 'put hard disks to sleep when possible', it wakes up fine, but I don't like doing this.

MacBook Pro 13" Late 2011 Internal Speakers Issue

Every time I use my internal speakers (especially on high voice), my speakers' strength seems to lessen after few seconds of sound. But after about 30 minutes or so, the speakers are back to normal, but the same conflict repeats again after using the speakers again.

You may try a PRAM reset. If that does not resolve the issue, make an appointment at the Apple store Genius bar.
Ciao.
