No sound on Pavillion 6700, so I installed Windows 7, still no sound

My computer came with vista, I got it a little over two years ago. About a month ago, the sound quit working. It said, no audio output device installed. I updated the conexant audio drivers and tried everything that I could, and downloaded everything from the HP website for it, but nothing worked. My brother put Windows 7 on the computer, hoping that would fix the problem. It hasn't. It's even made it worse. When I go to device manager, there isn't even anything there related to audio at all. Please help?

Hi
Satellite P300-1BN belongs to series PSPC4E.
I didnt find Win 7 32bit drivers especially for this series but you could chose the PSPCLE.
On the Toshiba European driver page you could find the sound driver.
I found this one:
[Conexant Sound Driver 4.98.6.61|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=152&selProduct=777&selSho rtMod=726&language=13&selOS=29&selType=all&yearupl oad=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=all Machines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=all& selectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=2&ID=68799&OSID= 29&driverLanguage=42]
I recommend to delete following devices from device manager:
Conexant High definition smartaudio,
Intel High definition audio
Microsoft UAA Bus driver for high definition.
After that reboot the unit.
Now you could go to device manager and could update the driver for Conexant High definition smartaudio. Dont execute the exe file but update the driver in device manager.
Here you will have to choose advanced installation which help to point to the sound driver ini files which were downloaded from the Toshiba page.

Everytime I start to install Windows into my bootcamp partition the screen goes completely black after installing.

Hi All,
I'm using an iMac late 2009 ( Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, $gb 1067 MHz DDR3, ATI Radeon HD 4670 256 MB) with OS X 10.8. I've Boot Camped my Mac Book pro so I'm familiar with the steps to do it.
I've made a partition and downloaded the windows support data to an external hard drive. So I'm at the part where I'm installing windows (I'm installing Windows 7 Home Premium), everything goes smoothly and it installs everything but when it restarts and gets past the loading screen everything goes black and nothing happens. it doesn't get to the point where I put the serial number or set the time.
I thought it was an issue with my OS X so I removed the partition and re-installed my OS X 10.8. Then I've tried re-Boot Camping and installing windows but still no luck!
Anyone have any ideas on what I could do next? Any help is most appreciated

Why it would be OS X?

Is there a workaround for installing Windows 8 on a Mid-2010 Macbook?

Hi there!
I've been digging and digging and digging trying to find a work-around for this issue I'm having. I bought Windows 8 without first checking to see if my Macbook would be compatible with running both OSX and Windows 8... Stupid move #1 because it's not supported in the mid-2010 Macbooks.
I have found a couple slightly outdated threads about how you can edit your plist file in the Boot Camp contents folder but every time I have tried this, Bootcamp crashes. Fortunately for me I kept a backup of the plist file so Bootcamp is in fact still working at this point but I obviously can't install Windows 8 still. (Ignore my last comment in the thread, I fixed it)
I have expanded my Macbook to a 1TB H-SSD and it has 8GB of RAM. I SHOULD be able to run Windows 8 and I'm pretty upset that I can't at this point.
Here is the previous thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5164969 (Ignore my last comment in the thread, I fixed it)
I'm thinking I can probably still get around my issue by using the plist file I just don't know anything about how that kind of stuff works.
Anyone have any suggestions?

You could look into the specs required to use Parallels or other
virtualization VMware Fusion to see what they require to work.
They too may be unable to support Windows 8.x version if the
hardware in the computer is not capable of running it. So the
answer may be to look for an older Windows, due to hardware.

http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion
•Apple - Support - BootCamp:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
Not sure if some tweak to BootCamp is the answer to hardware.
A change to a preference file (plist) may not be an answer there.
There may be a way in Terminal to modify how some things work;
but that is a topic outside a basic MacBooks/BootCamp discussion.
You may look into the BootCamp topics to see if someone has a
similar inquiry posted there.
Good luck & happy computing!

Buying and installing Windows for a new MacBook

(1) What version of Windows OS would be best for the 13" 80 GB MacBook I just bought? After looking on the MS website, I'm confused about whether Vista has replaced XP or whether it's still in Beta (or even actually exists yet).
(2) Any tips on installing Windows on the MacBook? And should I hold off installing Parallels until I know Windows runs okay with BootCamp, or does it not matter how I set up Windows/Parallels?
(3) If I want to use MS Office on the Windows platform, do I have to get MS Office for Windows (XP, Vista, or whatever)? Or does Word 2004 for Mac somehow magically work with Windows?
Thanks for any advice on all this.

Thanks, Jim; that's encouraging. The person I'll be sharing the computer with thought we should have Windows, so I convinced him that we should get another Mac and then I would just install Windows. Still, it will probably just lie around gathering dust, since Mac is so much more stable and so much easier.
One last question: I saw from another post that it's unlikely that Windows running on a Mac would be infected by a virus, and I assume that a Windows virus wouldn't affect the Mac platform even on the same computer.
However, just as a theoretical problem: If a hacker did succeed in hacking into a Windows computer (that's on dial-up), could he get into the Mac area, too? Just curious.

If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, the drivers are downloaded from within Bootcamp Assistant. If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk.

"The troubleshooting audio playback did not help, it says it cannot find any problems. Windows 7 says I have a "High Definition Audio Device" sound card with no question mark. When I right click on the sound card and click properties under the general tab device status says "This device is working properly." This computer is an all-in-one imac therefore it has built in speakers however i tried pluging in speakers and they make almost no sound. In addition when I have them plug in when runnning mac snow leopard it make an ok amount of sound just not as much as the computers built in speakers. When I have them plug in when running wwindows 7 their volumn is max out with almost no sound. Windows 7 says I have a "High Definition Audio Device" sound card but i was wondering if its mistaken and the sound card has a different name but this is speculation. The windows 7 thinks the sound driver/card has the most up to date software. "

This is a common problem when installing Windows on a Mac.
AFAIA, you'll need to i nstall W7 specific audio drivers on the W7 partition.
However you may be better asking this question on an Apple forum.
Cheers,
jerry"
Also while you are at trying to fine a answer, this mac has a camera and other things, how do i test everything to see if they work on both sides.

I tried searching through the other questions here is a question if answer well help answer the first?
How do I figure out what is my sound driver is called? I think Windows calls it High Definition Audio Device however something about the windows is mistaken because I have no sound. But when on the mac side I do not know where to look either. If I can find out what the sound driver is called then I can fined a update download. The other similar questions that were answered suggested that the sound driver needed updated.

Installed Windows 8.1 on my MBP w/ Bootcamp...trouble with wifi connection, trackpad, sound, etc.

Hello!
I decided to install Windows 8.1 on my Macbook Pro (late 2011/ OS X Lion) by using latest version of Bootcamp and everything went smoothly. My problem is that my wifi network is not being recognized (my home network is not showing up at all and I have to plug in to the router, making this an inconvenience), the trackpad is glitchy, and there is no sound! I've looked at all previous forum posts on this issue and everyone says to uninstall and then reinstall windows via bootcamp and I did so and still am having the same issues. Before I used bootcamp, I tried out Parallels. This program works okay, you just can't have too much going on at the same time because apps will freeze up and your poor CPU is probably crying. Anyways, I'm not entirely sure on what to do at this point. Any suggestions or tips would be most appreciated!
Thank you

I cleared out my USB of it and then downloaded the windows support software again through the Bootcamp set up on my 2nd try of installing Windows 8.1 and same results.

HT1349 After installing windows 8, I have no sound on my mac desktop. Need help?

Hi,
I recently installed Windows 8 and after the installation there is no audio (sound) in my iMac. I can't hear youtube videos, mp3 files, no nothing.
Suggestions to solves this problem?

As you sure that you don't have system sounds muted? If you have sound in the music app, then system sounds are muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

When installing the audio driver, was it installed by following the prompts or in compatibility mode as outlined here?
Based on the Software and Drivers page for this unit, the unit was not tested and certified for Windows 8. This means that some functionality may not be the same since the unit was not designed for Windows 8. See this site for information and to find out if it has been tested for Windows 8.
If the sound driver has not been installed in compatibility mode, then I recommend using the Windows 7 64bit driver found here and using the linked steps above to install it in compatibility mode.
Let me know what happens.

Do I need to install boot camp on Windows 7 as well as on Lion? I already installed it some years ago on Leopard when installing Windows Vista on my Macbook Pro. But now after installing Windows 7, many things in windows doesn't work (sound etc.). I made a clean installation because I needed to go from 32 bit to 64 bit.
Or should I just update bootcamp in Lion? (cause when I search for "boot camp" in Windows 7 there's no result)

R5K Sound issues when installing Windows 8.1

Hello everyone
I installed Windows 8.1 Pro as downloaded. I used BCA > USB on my R5K to install Windows.. (Boot Camp drivers via BCA as well). Everything works fine except the sound when using Windows. There is sound, but it all... sounds disturbing, like listening to a radio. Nothing like the sound quality when using OS X, no epic sound effects and crystals clear sound whatsoever. And I think it's not even using all the speakers at the bottom of the iMac when producing the audio. I tried playing with Sound setting in Control Panned, with the audio settings in MPC, VLC, iTunes, re-installed the drivers just to be sure nothing went wrong with the installation and nothing work, I am still getting that "crappy sound quality"...
I am welcome to any suggestions, spend half a day just trying to fix this... Thank you in advance
