No sound under bootcamp XP SP3

I just installed Windows XP SP2 and updated it to SP3 under bootcamp. I did the bootcamp 2.1 update, and installed the drivers from the leopard disk. However, I still have no sound, either in my headphones or in the built-in speakers. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I've got the same problem but my imac is running SP2.
I get a yellow "!" on one of my PCI sound devices but updating the drivers or trying to activate it will not work. it says that the device is working correctly however "it is possible that another program is running" so making the device not working properly.
the thing is. yesterday when I shut down the mac. everything was working fine. the sound was coming out of the speaker perfectly.
I did try to tweak something though, trying to fix my microphone problem, So I guess i'm the problem but now there seem to be no way of fixing this.
I tried reinstalling all drivers from the mac CD but nothing works. please help

Typing going crazy in MS Word 2008 under Bootcamp

I have a minor issue wondering if anyone has seen it before:
Just created a new iMac 21inch running SNL 10.6.2. and Bootcamp
with Windows XP SP3 installed, along with MS Office 2008.
In MS Word, when trying to type in a document the first couple of lines type
correctly, but as I type further down the page, the mouse cursor will
randomly jump back a line and /or jump a line forward.
I have looked at the keys to make sure none are getting stuck as i type,
and I have checked and lowered the keyboard refresh rate in Windows.
Anyone else experience this issue?

Actually Office for Windows XP 2007.
Further troubleshooting, the issue does not occur when typing in Notepad
or Indesign CS3 on Windows XP under BootCamp. Just Word.

I cannot hear voice through my headset under bootcamp win7.

I cannot hear voice through my headset under bootcamp win7.
would anyone provide update for Mac Air Boot Camp4.0 with Win7 32 bit ?
thanks

There are quite a few posts about the same sound issues so the best thing to do is to do a search here for something like "no sound in headphones in Windows" or something similar and try the one that fits your problem.
Basically you have to enable them in the sound Control Panel, re-install just the Boot Camp sound drivers manually or possibly down load the sound drivers for your hardware (your sound card) from the manufacturer directly.

Performance reduced under Bootcamp after EFI update on Macbook Pro Retina

after i upgraded EFI on my retina macbook pro the proformence reduced to unusable. under heavy load under bootcamp windows7. the cpu clock drops and as well as cpu clock. this is the screen shot of gpu clock monitoring from windows u can see the gpu clock is running at 270Mhz at most of the time and trying to be back to 725Mhz(yea, not 900Mhz!) when im running a graphic benchmark at same time cpu will run about 1.1Ghz as well. i noticed that it will run 10-20sec normally then CPU and GPU clock will start dropping. It's almost like speedstep is programmed backwards. My CPU is constantly running at 3.1-3.2GHz, and then as soon as a game loads, it drops to 1.2GHz. I've lost track of how many times I reset the SMC reseting SMC PRAM, reinstalling windows using Bootcamp or even erease the entire drive and start over from network recovery MacOS did not solve this problem. so all the recent games like COD MW3, Starcraft II, BF3,or D3 will only run about about 10 fps as i was playing them with no ploblem before the EFI update.
this is killing me! please help.
im in NY, in this season i dont think is the overheating problem. when i check the temperature, it stays about 80C (fans will run about 4k rpm). but some time heavy loaded Mac OS cpu is about 90 degree but only with 3k rpm fan kicked in.
i did search online, seems that some other people have the same problem with rMBP or MBA 2012.
anyone knows if i take my macbook pro to the store, will those people work at genuines bar help me with this "windows" problem?
thanks!

Hey Shadowyani, please take a time and fill a bug report at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ . The machine is useless for me as it is now because I develop and use very GPU/CPU demanding scientific applications, after the update my realtime applications are completely useless as they drop from something like 25fps to 9 fps even on Mac OS X (no SMC reset fixed the issue). In bootcamp the situation is worse, my software runs at 4 fps and gaming turns to be impossible to play as well.
Please let Apple know about the problem, fill a bug report, even if SMC reset once in a while fixed the issue for you (this is not a common behaviour and must be fixed). We paid the price for cutting edge technology.
Apple shall not do a downgrade of the system after few weeks, remember that most of reviews and benchmarks were done BEFORE the EFI Update, so people are being fooled by Apple in this sense.

Dvi to video, no display under bootcamp

Hello there,
and here is my situation:
i have a macbook pro running bootcamp, windows xp and an ati x1600. i recently purchased apples dvi to video adapter for the dvi port on my macbook pro but it will not send a signal (or at least a correct signal) to my tv.
a vga external display will work with the dvi to vga adapter under both OSes
and the tv will work under OS X with the dvi to video adapter, but i cannot, for the life of me get it to work under bootcamp.
i have tried all of the ati drivers i could find, old and new bootcamp drivers and the omega drivers. i have also tried forcing detection of my tv and all different resolutions to no avail.
any help would be appreciated.
cheers

im using the composite for now because i dont have an s-video cable.
if it helps you at all, i found a generic brand dvi to component cable after some searching in mom n pop computer stores. they seem to run abour $20 to $25.
but long story short, i need to use my tv-out on 2 different tvs and the second one doesnt have component or s-video, to i returned it without trying and got the apple adapter for dvi to video.
tv out in windows would be a huge help to me as well, lets hope someone can shed some light on this.

HT4617 Even though thunderbolt is not hot puggable in Bootcamp, is the use of mini displayport to vga/dvi still hot pluggable under Bootcamp?

Even though thunderbolt is not hot puggable in Bootcamp, is the use of mini displayport to vga/dvi still hot pluggable under Bootcamp?

This is Apple support on the subject

Can I plug and unplug devices into a Thunderbolt peripheral that is already recognized?
Yes. That is the best way to add and remove devices from the Thunderbolt chain while Windows 7 is running.
Have you tried?

Latest Safari no longer works in XP Pro under Bootcamp

I'm running XP-Pro on an iMac under Bootcamp (Leopard). When Safari was first offered for Windows XP/Vista users I was able to successfully download, install, and run Safari without difficulty. After the most recent Windows XP update from Microsoft, Safari stopped working and hasn't worked since. I've tried completely removing all Apple SW via Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs and reinstalling a fresh Safari download with no success. Any ideas as to what could be keeping Safari-for-Windows from working within XP-Pro on my iMac? I've captured the Windows error message (as .jpg) that appears IMMEDIATELY upon clicking on the Safari icon, but am not allowed to attach it to this post for some reason.

Have a look in the Keyboard preferences in case something else is using that in Safari or another set of keys is now allocated for Hide. As barry says, it should be OK, but there may be something trying to do the same thing.
Also, try to logout and then log in again (not Shut down or Restart). It may be that there is a cache problem.

HP C309 G AIO can't install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp

HP C309 G Printer wont install in Windows 7 64bit running under BootCamp on a new iMac
Just bought a new iMac. Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side. I am also running Windows 7 on iMac through a program called Bootcamp. When I boot to Windows 7 and try to install the newly downloaded software for windows 7 from the HP site, it begins to load then stops, giving me two error messages. They are both essentially the same except one says software and the other says hardware. The software one says: This computer does not have the necessary USB software support to allow completion of a USB installation. The printer plugs directly into the monitor in one of four usb ports. All the usb ports work on the system when using Windows 7. I have other devices working and plugged into the usb ports while in Windows 7. It is almost like the printer software is unable to find the usb software or hardware. Any ideas

Well, you have a full Window's 7 install so you would really have to go to HP and/or Microsoft to see what is going on. Bootcamp basically is only involved with "booting" and just installs Apple product drivers and such. Just treat the Window's side as if you are using it on a "normal" Window's PC. (As far as problems, crash's, updates, or any other Windows, HP, etc, problems you may have.)
"Installed HP C309 all in one without incident on the Mac side."
So,,, that means the printer "works" (prints) on the Mac or the installer just worked? Make sure the Printer actually prints in the Mac side as you may have a dead USB port on the Printer. It happens.
If your HP works fine (prints) in the Apple environment you know it's not the USB ports on either the printer or the computer.
You said you already downloaded the newer versions, have you tried using the drivers on the install disk and then update them to the newer ones? Also if you haven't yet, make sure the drivers are for the 64bit version, just a thought.
That's about all my brain cells have so good luck.......

ESATA external hard drive woes under Bootcamp

Hi everyone,
I have just taken delivery of a early 2009 MBPro 17 inch and a WD MyBook USB/eSATA/Firewire external HD.
I am trying to use the MyBook with eSATA in bootcamp with a generic expresscard that utilises the Silcon Image Sil3132 chip. I'm only wanting to use it as a single drive with no RAID. The drive shows up and works fine when booting into Leopard but under bootcamp it is nowhere to be seen in explorer. I have installed the ATA controller driver and in control panel it shows up as it's own "app" (and even tells me theres a WD drive attached to it). It also shows up in Device Manager under SCSI/RAID controllers as "Silicon Image SIL 3132 Softraid 5 controller.
In the device info panel this is what i see:
Available controllers: SIL 3132 revision 1
Location: PCI bus 6 device 0
IRQ number: 5 (0x5)
Device location: Channel 1 Target 1
Type: Disk Drive
Model: WD My Book
Firmware revision: 01.00A01
Serial number: blah blah
ATA version: ATA/ATAPI-6
Current transfer mode: Ultra DMA mode 6
Host link speed: Generation 2 (3.0gb/s)
Device link speed: Generation 2 (3.0gb/s)
Look Ahead: Unsupported
Write Cache: enabled
But as for gaining access to the drive in Explorer, it isn't recognised.
Am i missing something here?
I am really stuck with this, so if anyone can help i'd be very grateful.
Cheers
John

Where / how can i find that information?
When i "get info" in Leopard it just says it's formatted as "Windows NT File System"
It came formatted as FAT32 but i reformatted in NTFS. Leopard has read and write access thanks to Paragon.
Windows on the other hand can see it if it's plugged into the USB socket, but not under eSATA.
I was wondering maybe that the express card slot might not be fully supported under Bootcamp, meaning no matter what you plug into it the thing won't ever work properly?
The express card is an unnamed generic one with this chip: SiI3132 - PCI Express (1x) to 2 Port SATA300
Drivers are here..supposedly: http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=32&cat=3&os=4

Why can't I install safari on my IMac running Windows 7 under Bootcamp

20" imac won't restart after rebooting under bootcamp running Windows XP. I get a black DOS screen with an error message.

My imac has been running without problems under OS X Snow Leopard and bootcamp running Windows XP for a long time. I had received a Sony MP3 player and wanted to install the software on my computer. At the time I had a CD in my drive slot because I was getting ready to install some brother's software for a printer I wanted to use. I restarted my imac under bootcamp and started installing the Sony software in Windows XP. I was having problems with the install and decided to restart XP to see if that would help. It's been several days since this originally happened so I'm not of sure of any more specifics at this point other than I've had to use windows machines for a long time and know that basically when in doubt "restart".
When my imac was restarting I heard everything spinning up, the white light came on, but I heard no chime, a blue screen came up for about 15 to 30 sec. and then it went to a black screen with DOS characters giving the following message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll. Please re-install a copy of the above file.
I do have a copy of Windows XP, but my first problem was that I still had a CD in the slot and it would not eject. I tried every keyboard combination I could find including: eject button, F12 and holding down the mouse button at start-up and nothing worked. I also tried every other start-up keyboard combination I could find at Apple Support jut to see if I could get my imac to start up under OS X . I finally went on youtube to find out how to remove the CD. I ended up opening up my imac and taking off the cover of the CD drive to remove the disk. After putting everything back together I put in my Windows CD and tried restarting again. The exact same thing happened and I ended up at the DOS screen. Then I thought maybe my keyboard wasn't working so I replaced it with a new one. Same result. I also thought to plug both of my apple keyboards into my windows 8 laptop (hate it!) to see if they worked there at all. They both did so I'm sure the keyboards are not the problem.
At this point, since I do now have a windows 8 laptop (hate it!) there is no remaining reason for me to keep a bootcamp partition on my hard drive. My question is where do I go from here? I have a current time machine back-up on an external hard drive and I have my install CD for OS X Snow Leopard. How do I get my imac back up and running? Thanks.

Can you OPTION boot? If so, then choose the OS X volume to boot back into OS X. From there you can use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the Windows volume and restore the drive.
Boot Using OPTION key:
1. Restart the computer.
2. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the
      "OPTION" key.
3. Release the key when the boot manager appears.
4. Select the desired disk icon from which you want to boot.
5. Click on the arrow button below the icon.
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

How do I get the best performance out of my graphics card under bootcamp?

I have a 20" iMac, I think it was 2009 I got it, maybe 2010. It has an nVidia 9400 graphics card. I have installed windows XP under bootcamp with which to play games specicially Star Trek online and Star Wars The Old Republic (also online game). Now the minimum graphics spec for SWTOR is an nVidia 7800 yet with the 9400 I can only play if I run everything on the lowest possible settings. I'd assumed that the 9400 being several models higher than the 7800 I should be able to run a higher level of graphics and seem to be capable of running better quality when playing games under OS X.
I may be wrong but it seems under bootcamp windows doesn't run my Mac at as high a level as it is capable. For one thing when I look under the specs it states I only have 2.7GB ram when the iMac actually has 4GB.
Am I just over estimating the graphics potential of my iMac or am I right in thinking that Windows under bootcamp isn't utilising the iMac's full potential and how can I fix this?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

you run into the limits of XP and built in graphics.
I would hope that you found in all these years how to install and get new moddified gpu drivers.
XP is limited and is 32-bit where each app gets 2GB address space also.
Windows 7 64-bit (or 8 even free for now to test out) otherwise wait to buy a new Mac.

Can't get 1080p output to TV in windows 7 under bootcamp

I have no problems using my 40in Samsung LN610 1080p TV as extension of my Snow Leopard desktop (though it was rather tricky to get it running). However, I can NOT get 1080p output in windows 7 under bootcamp.
In detail, when I use TV as an extension of the desktop, TV shows no HDMI signal coming in if I try to use 1080p or 1080i output (using NVIDIA panel or standard win7 properties panel). However, when I drop the output to 720p then the signal gets through and TV displays 720p just fine.
I hope I explained it clearly engough. Please let me know if you are having the same trouble or if you know of a solution. I'm using the latest bootcamp drivers.
I have Macbook Pro 13in 2.53GHz, 9400m, 4GIG RAM, mid 2009 unibody model.

This problem is not a problem with Windows or Apple. It has to do with when the updates are applied to Windows boot camp. The way to fix this is as follows. First click on the bluetooth icon from the Windows start page. Then click show bluetooth items. From this window click add a new device. When the device appears double click on the icon for the device. A window should appear that at the top says general and other. Click on the other tab and another window comes up with a small box in it. Check the box and Windows will search and install the exact, correct drivers for the device. Now the device will pair and work fine.

Win 7 on MacBook pro under bootcamp and USB to serial

Hi all,
I am planning running win 7 under bootcamp on my macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.2.
There is only one program I want to run under windows and that program needs to use a USB to serial converter made by KeySpan.
Question is once win 7 is installed will I then be able to install the windows drivers for the keyspan device as if I was on a win 7 PC?
Thanks

One more question: where do I download the apple drivers or does that happen automatically?
Nope. The first thing that the BootCamp Assistant offers you is to create a drivers CD or USB flashdrive. Once Windows installation is complete, you use that media to install drivers that allow Win7 to identify and use properly the Mac's hardware. Else it will use generic drivers that may not work fully.
Run the first step of Assistant again if you missed that. It won't mess up your installation.

Share iTunes for OS x and iTunes for XP under bootcamp

I want to be able to share one itunes library for both my Mac and Xp (same computer)(Dual boot)
the problem is this.
The iTunes for OS x writes the files as:
file://localhost/Volumes/Data/Sorted%20By%20Artist/
and the XP under bootcamp writes it as this:
file://localhost/Z:/Sorted%20By%20Artist/
the only other file that is a factor is the iTunes Library that can easily renamed to iTunes Library.itl
How can I share ONE iTunes library on both the Mac side and the XP(bootcamp side)
if I cant how can I get XP to indentify the /Volumes/Data/ path to see my files... ("Data" is the name of my Hard drive)

Although this topic was covered under http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1750484
it does not explain how to fix the path file errors.
the xml file looks like this..
OS x:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/Data/Sorted%20By%20Artist/!!!/!!!%20-%20Me%20And%20Giul iani%20Down%20By%20The%20School%20Yard%20(A%20True%20Story).mp3</string>
XP:
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Z:/Sorted%20By%20Artist/!!!/!!!%20-%20Me%20And%20Giuliani%20Dow n%20By%20The%20School%20Yard%20(a%20True%20Story).mp3</string>
OS x cant see a Z: drive nor can Xp see /Volumes....
