No external speaker sound with mac-mini running bootcamp win7 64

Hi,
I am unable to get external sound working with mac mini (september 2011) running windows 7 64 on bootcamp 4 (Lion). Drivers appear OK in device manager. Running seperate driver exe from bootcamp library results in a message that the best driver is working. Any suggestions? How do I know which audio driver I need? Where, specifically, can I download the correct driver? I have seen a reference to cirrus logig 4206B driver working but I can find no such driver anywhere. I can't figure out how to search for drivers on cirrus web site. Please help.
Thanks,
b

Ok, the solution in my case was to go back to MacOS, run the BootCamp assistant again, and have it re-download all the Windows drivers.  Back in Windows 7, uninstall BootCamp, then reinstall.  Now all the drivers work.
Apple has apparently updated/fixed their 64 bit drivers since I last tried to make it go.  I would have thought that Apple Software Update (on Windows) or Windows Update would have picked up the newer drivers, but they didn't.

  • External iSight - no sound with Mac mini 2011

    Hello,
    I'm trying to connect External iSight camera to Mac mini 2011 (using FW400 -> FW800 adapter cable) but I can't get microphone sound to work...
    When I open system prefs>sound>input, it shows iSight is connected but system will freeze for a while (like it's looking for iSight) on openning.
    When I try open Skype video preferences, it shows me video from iSight with no problem, but sound doesn't work.
    Can anyone give me some advice?

    You're welcome.
    (1) Your new info indicates to me that there is probably something wrong with your cable(s), adapter(s), Mac mini's Firewire, or your external iSight itself.
    You can eliminate most of these by troubleshooting with other cables, adapters, Firewire devices, and Macs as suggested in the info from my earlier link.
    If no Firewire device you test on your Mac works with any connecting cable, resetting the Mac's Firewire bus may help. Apple's "how-to" article has been archived in this link.  (This link may be slow to load.)
    If you have trouble displaying the archive page, here is the pertinent extract on how to reset the bus:
    ... If the issue persists, try these steps:
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).
    Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.
    Plug the computer back in and turn it on.
    Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.
    If an individual third-party device leads to the issue, contact the manufacturer for more information and further assistance.
    NOTE: Some users who try FW reset forget that "all" cables include the power cable.  Disconnecting power is important.
    (2) If your troubleshooting shows that your external iSight itself is the problem, you can decide whether you want to have your old serviced.  If you do not have access to a local Apple-Authorized Service Provider, you can obtain cost and Apple contact info from http://www.apple.com/support/isight/service/
    (3) Rather than spend more money on your old iSight, you may decide to consider a new webcam.  A new Mac compatible USB connected cam with a current warranty will be a faster fix, and it may be lower cost.  Some examples are at http://mac-compatible-web-cam.com. Moreover, compatible USB connected cams are not subject to all the same conflicts that sometimes effect external iSight.
    Unless you already have a separate microphone for your mini, you can decide whether to buy separate mic or look for a new camera that has an inbuilt mic.

  • Is isight external camera compatible with mac mini?

    I just bought an old isight camera from ebay. I used a firewire 800 to 400 cable to connect to my late 2012 mac mini. I test to cam using facetime but the screen said no camera connected. So I connect the isight with my old macbook to test the camera, and the connection is fine.
    I wonder if the old isight cam is still compatible with mac mini. If so, that might be the problem of the fire 800 to 400 cable.

    Other users, including myself, could not get the barrel iSight camera to work on the 2012 Min with Mavericks. It did work on my late 2009 Mini except the mic did not work. It does work on my late 2013 Mac Pro desktop except again, that the mic does not work.

  • Target Display Mode iMac 27 mid 2011 with Mac Mini 2011 bootcamp

    Hello,
    I can't seem to use Target Display Mode with Bootcamp.
    My configuration:
    Imac 27" mid 2011 with osx 10.8.4
    Mac Mini Server 2011 with osx 10.8.4, bootcamp 5 and Windows7
    Both are connected via Apple genuine Thunderbolt cable (2m).
    When I boot the Mac Mini into OSX then Target Display Mode works perfectly and I can see the osx installed on the Mac Mini on the iMac display.
    However, when I reboot the Mac Mini into Bootcamp (windows7 x64) I can't put the iMac in Targt Display Mode and get to see Windows 7 on my iMac screen.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924#8
    The following article says that this should work, however once I reboot osx on the Mac Mini the iMac leaves Target Display Mode immediatly and will not return to Target Display Mode.
    Any advice? I contacted Apple Support and a Sr. Enginner said it should be supported and he's checking with a higher tier.
    Thanks

    Yes, it does.

  • How can you find serial number on mac mini running bootcamp Windows 7?

    I am using a Mac mini and it is running bootcamp Windows 7, and I want to be able to look for the serial number using the Windows 7 side without booting up to the Mac OSX partition. can anyone help me out with this?

    I don't think there is a way to get the Mac serial number in Windows. You could carefully lift up the Mac and look at the printed serial number on the outside of the Mac without having to turn off the computer, otherwise it would be necessary to boot in to Mac OS X.
    If you still have the physical packaging the Mac came in the serial number would also be printed on that.

  • How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    How to produce 5.1 sound with logitech z5500 running on iMac 10.5.8 with sound blaster live 24 bit external.

    First off your operating system version is obsolete and not being updated for security issues from Apple.
    OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
    So at least you need to upgrade to 10.6.8, and that will make your machine secure again.
    However if you decide to upgrade further to 10.7 or 10.8, be forewarned your PPC based software of old is not going to work any longer. and your machine may require more RAM.
    Check here to see and download the free MacTracker to see your machines true RAM potential and specs. There are videos online at YouTube, it's really easy to install yourself.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    I checked out the z-5500, apprantly the optical out shouldn't be a problem, however the surround sound decoding is a problem as the Mac doesn't do it, just passes it through for decoding on a receiver via the optical out port if your Mac has one.
    Use the free MacTracker to find out or when you upgrade OS X, there is a option in the System Preferences > Sound.
    https://logitech-en-ap.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9693/section/trouble shoot/crid/409/lt_product_id/224/tabs/1,3,2,4,5/cl/sg,en
    The Sound Blaster Live 24 bit doesn't do Dolby 5.1 according to Wikipedia. More info on it is here.
    http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=1&prodID=10702&pr odName=Live!%2024-bit%20External&CatName=Sound+Blaster
    If it's able to accept optical toslink cable from the Mac's toslink stereo mini port (if it has optical output) and then send that to the z-5500 via the analog speakers, then you should be fine.
    I'm afraid you'll have to do some more digging to get it to work.
    The only surround sound your going to get is by playing DVD movies that have it, then it can't have Dolby 5.1 as the Live 24 bit can't decode it.
    So do your research on what surround sound formats the Live 24 can decode, then compare your DVD collection for those movies that have it, then get it all connected and enable it on the movie preferences at the menu.
    Good Luck

  • Mac mini running 10.6 - what is the max external HD space supported

    I would like to purchase a mac mini and would like to attach 2 external drives in enclosures for data/mirroring. Does anyone know the max HD size supported by the mac mini running 10.6?
    Thanks!

    The maximum HD size is for all practical purposes the total that its file system(s) support. For HFS+ file systems, that would be close to 8 exabytes per volume. (See Mac OS X: Mac OS Extended format (HFS Plus) volume and file limits for more about this.)
    IOW, you will not have to worry about hitting the limits with any HD's available in the foreseeable future!

  • Is it possible to screen share an old iMac running 10.4 with a new Mac Mini running Yosemite

    Is it possible to screen share an old iMac running 10.4 with a new Mac Mini running Yosemite. I am trying to bring the old iMac screen up on the Yosemite system

    Hello! Not out of the box: OS X Mountain Lion: About screen sharing  You'll have to look for third-party options like Teamviewer

  • I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable

    I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable for this file." If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam

    What camera took these RAW photos?
    Did you use any Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer's hard disk?

  • Blank screen on Mac Mini running Boot Camp 3.1 with XP SP3

    After upgrading from 3.0 to 3.1 of Boot Camp I now am getting a blank screen after Windows finishes it's loading screen.
    Booting to safe mode works.
    I have tried uninstalling 3.1 and reverting back to 3.0, but the issue remains. Reinstalling 3.1 again also gives the same error.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled 2.1 (from a older system disk I had around) and the issue seems to be resolved however the refresh of items and windows on the screen are very slow.
    I have isolated the issue to the NVidia drivers, however I am unable to find any besides the bootcamp ones that seem to work. I've read through the forums and people have mentioned downloading drivers for other models but not the Mac Mini.
    So, two questions that would be very helpful in my quest to fix this:
    1) Anyone know where to get the latest working Nvidia drivers for the new Mac Mini (besides bootcamp)
    2) Anyone have a good utility or know of a good cleanup utility to get rid of all the previous nvidia drivers all over the place and in the registry? I read about a few, but it would be nice to know which ones actually work with bootcamp/xp, etc.
    Thanks for any assistance on this!
    - David

    I fixed it. All I had to do was change the output to the Cirrus audio device instead of the ATI.

  • I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

    I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
    I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
    If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
    If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
    The bottom of the page I link to says:
    Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
    But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
    Boot ROM Version:          MM51.0077.B10
      SMC Version (system):          1.75f0
    What does the additional "B" mean?
    My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
    I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

    Hello,
    It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!
    Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Intel graphics
    Macmini5,1
    MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
    Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Radeon graphics
    Macmini5,2
    MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
    Mac mini Server (Mid 2011)
    Macmini5,3
    MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
    Not sure what the B means.
    If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
    No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.
