No sound from windows 7 on bootcamp

I bought my lovely brand new imac, done all the updates and all is good, I installed windows 7 on bootcamp but cannot not get any sound from the windows, yes I get sound while running the mac but when I boot to windows 7 i hear nothing.
Now the meters that should pop up and down do that so there is sound there I just cant hear it, I have gone without sound for 3 months now and its driving me mad.
I have been to various sites and downloaded high definition drivers etc but still no luck, any ideas?

You need to install your audio driver yourself, which would be RealTek.

  • Can not reboot into OSX from Windows using Bootcamp assistant

    I'm having a bit of a problem with rebooting into OSX from Windows on bootcamp. Clicking on the icon in the system tray produces a message that Windows can not find the OSX disk. Trying to open the Bootcamp preferences also generates an error. I have no problem getting back into OSX if I shut down Windows and restart the MacPro while holding down the option key. This is with a Windows 7 install on Bootcamp, but I had the same issue with a previous install of Win XP. I nuked and paved OSX and the WIndows disk between installs so my current problem is not carry over from the XP install.

    My bad I should have been more clear. The problem is actually with a XP install via bootcamp, my Win 7 install is in VM Ware Fusion.
    The XP install is on a second drive. Since you asked about this I'm assuming it may be the reason Im having problems.
    The error is I get when trying to access bootcamp via the Windows control panel or by right clicking the sys tray icon is - "An error occured while trying to access the start up disk settings. You may not have privileges ...blah, blah, blah. I only created one account and I have enough privliges to change admin stuff in windows so I cant see privliges being the issue. I reassigned the OSX partition a new drive letter and rebooted windows but this didn't help.
    The only drivers I installed, other then updating the video driver, are the bootcamp drivers
    Sys tray icon - small diamond shapped icon in systray for accessing bootcamp functions.

  • No sound in windows 7 bootcamp macbook pro 15" retina

    Hi and good day,
    I recently purchased a mbp 15" retina and decided to install windows 7 professional via bootcamp. Upon completion, i realised that there was no sound from the speakers or the headphone jack. I updated the bootcamp drivers to the latest via apple bootcamp website and in addition, updated the latest realtek / cirrus sound driver. But to no avail, Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance for the assistance

  • No Sound in Windows 7 Bootcamp

    So whenever I run Windows 7 in Bootcamp, I don't get any sound. I did check the volumes and still nothing. Please help!

    I am having the same problem, the internal speakers and the headphone jack both don't work.
    In the control panel/properties it recognizes when I plug in external speakers to the jack and when I am using the internal speakers, but there is no sound.
    It says the drivers are from Microsoft, when I tried installing the drivers from the CD Windows 7 told me that the current drivers were more up-to-date and refused to install the dirvers from the CD. Anybody have any thoughts on how to get sound in Windows 7?

  • HT1533 How can I switch back to Mac OS X from Windows 7 Bootcamp?

    I'm having problem switching back to Mac OS on my Macbook Air.  It's currently running Windows 7 bootcamp without a Mac OS installed with it.  I tried booting up on Mac OSX installer disc (Snow Leopard) on the external CDROM drive but it boots to Windows instead.  I tried the Boot Camp Control Panel on Windows and Restart to Mac OS X but it could not find an OS X intalled and I tried changing the startup disc to the installation disc on the CDROM and restarted but still goes to Windows.
    Please HELP!
    Thank you.

    The MBA did not ship with an OS on DVD because they don't have an optical drive. There are two kinds of OS disks - commercial release, which for Snow Leopard is 10.6.3 I believe, and machine specific. If your SL disk is gray it isn't going to boot your MBA because it isn't made for the MBA. If your SL disk has a cat on it look at what specific version it is. As I said, I think it is 10.6.3 and while I wasn't able to find out what specific OS version your MBA shipped with, I'm pretty sure it was a version later than 10.6.3 and if I'm right your disk isn't going to boot the computer. You'll need to either contact Apple for a valid replacement installer or find someone with a Mac who can make a valid installer on a USB drive or DVD.

  • File won't delete from WIndows XP BootCamp

    It's late so I'm going to keep it simple:
    I found 2 files in My Documents today, that just sorta appeared there in my Windows XP volume. They don't have an extension, and when I try to delete them with Windows, I get an error, "Windows could not delete these files. The files cannot be found." So I booted into Mac, and went into my Windows volume, then proceeded to try to delete the files. I high-lighted both, and hit "Command+Delete" and clicked yes on the delete dialog. Everything seemed to work, then about 3 seconds later, one of the files reappeared, so I tried deleting it again, and everything seemed to work. I received no errors, however, the file keeps reappearing.
    How do I get rid of it permanently?
    Get Info says it is taking up 0kb and it has no extension. I just don't want it on my computer. I enjoy order, and this is messing the crapping **** out of that order.
    Thanks in advance.

    Get Info says it is taking up 0kb and it has no extension.
    That sounds a bit more like a stuck registry key for an icon than a file.
    Just doublechecking before we proceed ... what are those two files called? (Precise spelling please.)

  • ITunes initiates inadvertent sound from Windows 7

    Something recently changed in my setup that I'm not aware of. Whenever I have ITunes open every two minutes I get a strumming sound that I'd like to eliminate. I've gone into the sound control panel and there is nothing here that appears to be the culprit. I'm at a loss of where to turn next.

    Try Ctrl+B.

  • [Solved] No sound from VM (Windows 7) on qemu with virt-manager

    I posted this in Newbie corner,
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=176131
    but let me re-post here becase it is about sound matter.
    I have installed Windows 7 (64bit) on qemu with virt-manager.
    It seems that audio works fine inside the guest os, but I can hear no sound.
    [Guest]
    Guest os: Windows 7 (64 bit)
    Sound driver: ich6
    Console: Spice (VNC doesn't work.)
    [Host]
    linux 3.12.8-1 (base)
    qemu 1.7.0-1
    virt-manager 0.10.0-4
    libvirt 1.2.1-1
    According to
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=157604
    I did as follow before launch the VM, but it doesn't solve the problem.
    export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa
    What shoud I check and do?
    Followings are some additional information:
    * If I put the same command above
    % /usr/sbin/qemu-system-x86_64 -name win7qemu002...
    It produces error.

    * According to the someone's discussion,
    I added my user to kvm group
    % sudo gpasswd -a taro kvm
    or edited /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, but they don't fix this errors.
    % sudo vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
    - #user = "root"
    + user = "taro"
    * Everytime I launch the virt-manager,
    a dialog "Authentication" pops-up and asks
    for my user password (not root password).

    Self reply.
    Finally, I got to hear sound from windows 7 as guest OS.
    I gave up to use virt-manager and launches OS image by command line
    like follows.
    % export QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=alsa
    % qemu-system-x86_64 /mnt/win/win7qemu002 -cpu kvm64,+nx -enable-kvm -m 1536 -soundhw hda -usb
    Then, sounds works good.
    # However, the quality is bad because of heavy CPU load.
    Virt-manager may make things complex..
    Sorry for the duplicated post.

  • Access to Mac HD from Windows

    Can I access files on the Mac OS partition from Windows via Bootcamp?
    I would like to have all of my files in one location.

    Hi folks - and a special nod of gratitude to Fortuny,
    I didn't mean to "hi-jack" this thread, so my apologies to MtnMac2.
    But to the point of info for all - I loaded the two utes suggested by Fortuny - and WOW! without a hitch nor hiccup, it worked beautifully. I can read/write to ALL of my BootCamp partition while booted in MacOS 10.5.6. Very slick.
    I spent nearly a half an hour dragging all of the files from my VMware directory into the new BootCamp "My Documents" and further into sub-directories. I was able to rename files IN THAT PC directory, create folders, sub-folders, etc., all while booted in Leopard.
    What I haven't done yet is see what the Mac side looks like while booted in XP-Pro - I suspect it will be the same trouble-free ease of use. In fact, I now know more about this than the local "Genius" at the bar at one of my neighborhood Apple Stores. (shocker...)
    And the best part? These utilities are FREE. While I don't doubt the functionality of Hatter's suggestion (he's ALWAYS spot on!!) - this was the immediate path of least financial resistance.
    Thanks again Fortuny - and I'll follow-up IF and only if I hit trouble from within XP-Pro - just to share the experience with this wonderful community of users and experts!
    Peace,
    Mike P

  • No Sound from speakers but Headphones work on HP All-In-One 23-p142

    I recently purchased my computer HP Pavillion 23-p142 with Windows 8.1 64bit on July 9, 2015 and everything was golden...couldn't be happier with it for my needs. Now, in just the last few days, the sound doesn't work at all. No sound from Windows Media Player, Youtube etc. Absolutley nothing. Not even system sounds. I've tried troubleshooting tips such as going into Computer Management> Services> Windows Audio and restarting that service...still no luck. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio drivers several times and it worked on the very first attempt then the sound went away again after a few hours. I'm at a loss for what to try next...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.  PS. I forgot to mention my headphones work fine. And here are some screenshots of devices...if that helps with anything.  

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I have read your post on how you are not able to get sound from the speakers of your desktop computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Do you speakers work on another computer? Is there any software you need to install to properly configure your speakers on your system? In the meantime, I recommend following the steps in this document on No Sound from the Speakers (Windows 8). This should help return the sound to your computer using your speakers. I also recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point before the issue occurred. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, as well as the requested information above. I look forward to your reply!

  • Sound Blaster Live 24.bit LD No sound from online TV or Ra

    [color="#ff0000"]I had the new Sound Blaster Li've 24.bit installed in my computer, at first I had trouble getting sound out of my back two speakers but after the fourth day, I finally got that figured out. Now I am having problems with my tv and radio online. I am using winFM 5.3 and I can not get any sound though my speakers. I get sound from Windows Media Player or either CD/DVD player. I know it has to be something really simple but I have yet to find the problem. Can someone please help me.Message Edited by determinedone on 03-02-20060:2 AM

    Does the software have any options in relation to audio, such as selecting the audio device you want to use?
    If Windows Media Player and other applications work, then it's likely the card is working fine. Check another application if you can, such as WinAmp, to see if that works.

    O.K. fgonoz98
    I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
    Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
    1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
    under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
    2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
    under Input highlight microphone.
    3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
    If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
    (Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
    For any other audio device you do this for input and output.

  • 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.

  • No sound from OSX, fine in Windows 7

    I'm having a problem where I am getting no sound from OSX from the internal speakers or headphone jack. Everything is fine in Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition.
    Im using OSX 10.9.1 on a Macbook pro retina.
    I don't hear the 'pop' noise when changing volume and the output is set to internal speakers.
    Strange thing is the first time I play a track from itunes or a video from youtube, i get about 0.5s of audio but then it cuts out.
    Update:
    Getting this in the console.

    Hi roboguy123,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
