No sound through Headphones in Windows on 2.3 GHz Mac mini (2011)

I installed the drivers from the latest Bootcamp. It always shows headphones "Not plugged in".

Perhaps you have previous configuration files on your system (~/.asoundrc or similar)? You might want to look at you mapping of signal paths/jacks with hdajackretask found in alsa-tools (Frontpanel might be inactive on your particular hardware setup). Double check if correct module model is loaded for your card (line 36).
If you kill pulseaudio, does aplay produce sound?
To unload jack detection module this should work:
pacmd unload-module module-switch-on-port-available
Some people have issues with pulseaudio since upgrade to 5.0, so checkout changelog for configuration changes, here in forum there are several topics on this matter.

Blank screen when installing Windows 7 with Boot Camp - Mac Mini 2011

I'm new to the Mac scene, having barely any knowledge on the OS.
I've been trying to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp on my new Mac Mini (Latest offering from Apple).
I have an External DVD Drive which I have been using, connected via two USB's to the back of the Mac Mini itself. It's fully functioning, with the Mac recognizing the Drive. I've used it for some CD's and DVD's so far.
I have a full, licensed copy of Windows 7 Home Premium, bought from the Microsoft Store on a DVD. There's both a 64bit and 32bit DVD, of which I have tried both to install Windows 7.
I've been through the Boot Camp Assistant software, un ticking both the "Create a Windows 7 install disk" and "Download the latest Windows support software from Apple" because I already have the Windows 7 install disk. I've had troubles downloading the Windows support software from Apple, as it just stops about 1/4 of the download for no apparent reason.
So once I've made the partition, I insert the Windows 7 DVD into the External Disk Drive, and it reboots. At first it looks like the Disk Drive is working, as you can hear the Disk movement and a blue light on the front of the Disk Drive... But then the screen goes blank, and the Disk stops spinning (from what I can tell). Nothing else happens from then on.
Is there any reason as to why this is happening?
Thanks, Dominic

Yes. Booting from a USB-DVD to install Windows
The MacBook Air has extra drivers. Some people have edited the script preference plist to add their model Not all USB DVD devices may or may not work.
Burning electronic versions like an ISO or in .exe format you will see threads where that is the issue.

I can't install windows 7 in bootcamp on mac mini 2011

I have a 2011 Mac mini (no optical drive). I have a brand new Samsung external DVD drive conntected via USB. I put the Windows 7 DVD (64-bit) in the external drive and the Windows support software is on a USB stick that is in a USB port. I partition the drive in the Bootcamp assistant, then when it reboots all I see is a black screen. Nothing happens. The Mac mini is connected to a TV via HDMI.

Did you format the drive to NTFS (using the windows installer tools) yet?

Sound Through Headphones Stops

I have a Pavilion Dv7-6b01TX and recently I have been experiencing an issue where after a while, the laptop refuses to play sound through headphones, even when there's a pair of headphones plugged in. I've seen other problems like this, and the solution is to reinstall the sound drivers, but I have already done this 3 times. The only solution is to restart the laptop, but that is purely temporary and only lasts a couple of hours, at most.
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks.

I assume the guitar has electronics? If so, you must have some sort of ground loop. However, recording an acoustic using the electronics will not give the best acoustic sound, if that is what you are after. A mic on an acoustic will give a much more pleasing acoustic sound.

When I connect my Mac Mini 2011 with Lion to a TV via HDMI and an earphone cable is plugged in, it´s not possible to choose sound out via hdmi, as opposed to connection via minidisplay port. Anybody knows how to fix this?

Was just on the phone with Apple about this.
The solution was as follows for me anyway...
Go to your Finder
Choose the Go Menu
Choose Computer
Choose your Macintosh Hard Drive
Choose your "Library" Folder
Choose the "Preferences" Folder
There should be a folder called "Audio"
Move that whole folder to the trash
Empty the Trash
Restart from the Apple Menu
When you are back up and running;
     Choose System Preferences from the Apple Menu
     Choose Sound
      In the output tab you should now be able to make the HDMI "Sticky"
      Enjoy your sound over HDMI and no more dirty knees or broken backs unplugging the desktop speakers!

Windows Vista Ultimate - Boot Camp - Mac Mini

Hello to everybody
I bought a week ago a Mac Mini 2.53 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running the Mac OS X 10.6.2 and I have troubles for install Windows Vista Ultimate
I can make the partition without problems
The proccess of installation seems be normal but when is making the last process called "Completing Installation" fails
Then is when show a warning with the follow content
"At least one component could not be configured, please restart the computer and reinstall windows"
Note, I have tested install Windows Vista Ultimate 32 and 64 bits but without luck, too I did a installation from zero, formatting, installing Snow Leopard, updating to 10.6.2 and after attempt install Windows without luck
The weird here is that I had installed Windows Vista on my old Mac Mini 1.5 Ghz Intel Core Solo with a upgrade to 2.16 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo
Ideas?
Thanks

No guarantees, but you could startup to your Vista DVD and try repairing startup. Just choose the options that move you closer and closer to Windows fix options, not toward installation.

WiFi slow when running Windows 7 on Mac Mini (2011)

Hi,
I have just bought a Mac Mini (2011) and used Boot Camp for installing Windows 7 as well. However I am experiencing some problems with the WiFi when running Windows. The speed is less than 10% of what it should be. I have tried connecting a network cable and then everything is running fine. When booting into OS X Lion there are no problems with running WiFi. I have tried to rightclick on the network adapter and select update drivers but it says that the driver installed is up to date.
Any ideas?

Apparently it was a router issue. When I connected my old Cisco router as an extended access point both the Mac OS and Windows session connected as supposed to. I made a factory reset of the router provided by my ISP, configured it again and the problem apparently seemed to be solved.
However overnight the problem occured again - I swithed the router off and on again and was able to connect. I noticed in the DHCP log that when running Mac OS the computername "My-Mac-Mini" is sent to the router with the MAC address of the network card - when running Windows it is the machine name I entered during the Windows installation. Not sure if that is confusing the router from my ISP but after I changed the computername in Mac OS the connection seems stable.

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive, On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7 without the optical drive

On the mac mini 2011 how can I run windows 7pm bootcamp without an optical drive. I watch lots of football on sop cast and other such windows based programmes but can't work out how to do it.

Actually Windows can be installed and booted from an external drive if the drive is connected eSATA (external SATA), since the drive is treated as if it's an internal HDD. I used the same method previously to dual-boot from 2 different HDD instead of partitioning.
Most PC motherboards come with them as standard so it's pretty much plug and play but I don't recall seeing a recent Mac with eSATA connectivity though, so that might not be an option for you.

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Can I install Windows XP SP1 with Bootcamp on my new Mac Mini 2011 i7 ?

Baiscally if your Mini came with Lion Pre-installed new then No you can't use XP.
The Lion installed computers no longer support XP OR Vista via Apple's Boot Camp.
For one thing Apple only supported XP with SP2 in order to install it on pre Lion computers.
If the Mini had come pre-installed new with say 10.6 then you could have installed XP and still of been able to upgrade to Lion without any issues as you already have the drivers for XP installed. Lion only has the drivers for W7.

Is it possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server in a Virtual Machine software like Parallels

I am wondering if it is possible to install and run Windows Server 2008 on a Mac Mini Server as a VM as my main application uses Windows VisualBasic and Fox Pro and requires a Static IP to connect to it, My other offices connects to Windows Server via RDP.
Basically I am researching a Server for the same purpose and since Mac Mini and OsX both are robust in nature it can fit the bill if every thing work fine.
Thanks

From the Parallels website:
32-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8 with: Windows 8, 8.1 (when available)
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
64-bit Operating Systems
Windows 8
Windows 7 SP1
Windows Vista SP0, SP1, SP2
Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2008 R2, SP2, SP1, SP0
I do suggest that you upgrade RAM to at least 8gig
if you haven't already.
FWIW, I currently use Win8/64 bit with Parallels on a 2011 Mini Server
using the windows environment for engineering applications and have
had no issues. I am running Mountain Lion but do not have the
Server app installed.
