Sound is very quiet in bootcamp on windows 7 but fine in osx

the audio/speakers sound great in osx, but after putting windows 7 on here through bootcamp, the audio is like half the volume it should be from the speakers. works perfect with headphones tho, so it has to be something to do with the speakers. any ideas?

you have to install Cirrus audio driver - Apple doesn't provide one.

Sound is very quiet !

Hi
I recently bought a zen mp3 from 32 GB
but now I've put some songs on it and the sound is very quiet, even when I put it on 25 !
my brother has a zen mp3 of 8 GB and his sound is very loud at 25.
Does anyone knows how i can get the songs to play louder?
thanks
sjesches

Hi,
I had a similar problem with my ZEN, the sound was just too low for my requirements as I listen to it a lot along busy roads where there is a lot of noise. I assume that you have the European firmware on your ZEN, check it, the European firmware ends in an "e". If so, you might try downloading and installing the US firmware which you can download from the US site. Download the US firmware first before throwing out the European firmware, then install the US firmware. This is much louder than the Euopean firmware, I believe this is because in Europe the authorities want to protect their young people from ruining their hearing and therefore restrict the volume of players.
Now that I have the US firmware on my ZEN I have no problem with the sound anymore.
Have fun with your player!

Sound is very quiet on Windows 7

I have recently installed Windows 7 on my iMac, and upon trying to do anything that requires audio, the sound is extremely faint. I've raised all of the volume sliders in the mixer all the way, messed with all the options in the control panel, and have the latest drivers installed. Anyone have a solution for this?

I have to install RealTek and use Device Manager to update by searching my hard drive and pointing to the uncompressed file folder in order to use. Not the best sound unless I use real external speakers.
Apple Boot Camp drivers are not compatible with Windows 7. And Microsoft now blocks install as they near release candidate status next month.

Feedback Sound is very quiet

I JUST PURCHASED A NEW MAC MINI. MY SET UP IS AS FOLLOWS.
MY CONDENSOR MIC IS PLUGGED INTO THE LINE IN ON S-PHANTOM AS MY MIC REQUIRES THIS. LINE OUT FROM S-PHANTOM TO LINE IN ON MAC MINI. HEADPHONES PLUGGED INTO HEADPHONE OUT ON MAC MINI. I HAVE TO BE RIGHT UP TO THE MIC IN ORDER TO HEAR ANY FEEDBACK THROUGH HEADPHONES. I HAVE TURNED OUTPUT VOLUMES UP IN SOUND PREFS. ALL THE WAY UP AND SOUND LEVELS IN GARAGE BAND ARE ALL THE WAY UP. I HAD READ IN THE FORUM THAT YOU NEED AN INTERFACE OF SORTS TO INCREASE SOUND FOR CONDENSOR MICS. IT WAS STATED THAT THE IMIC BY GRIFFIN WILL PROVIDE THIS EXTRA POWER. ALL I AM INTERESTED IN IS HAVING THIS ONE MIC FOR ALL OF MY INPUT NEEDS. I PLAY GUITAR AND SING. WHAT WOULD BE YOUR RECCOMENDATIONS. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
Mac Mini 1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo 1GB SDRAM Mac OS X (10.4.5) Samson S-Phantom With Audio Technica Condensor Mic.

sorry to bother you again.
No bother at all.
to make it clear, will the imic boost the feedback
levels once attached.
Yes, the iMic has a pre-amp which will boost the mic's level.
BTW, Feedback is really the wrong term to use, it means something else. Just so you know, what you're describing would be called "Signal Level"
does the imic come with a driver?
The original iMic did not, it was Plug and Play, I haven't used the iMic2
how does it connect? do i run the
mic out to the imic and from there the usb into the
mini?
Yes.
will garage band recognize it?
It should. You open GB's preferences, select the Audi/MIDI tab, and choose the iMic from the Input PopUp menu
Hope that helps --HangTime [Will Compute for Food] B-|>

Can bootcamp run Windows 8 Pro in OSX 10.8.2?

Can Mac OSX Mountain Lion (10.8.2) run "Windows 8 Pro" in Bootcamp? Since Windows 8 Pro has the ability to run program from passed versions of Windows. This way Windows 8 Pro can run Bootcamp, even though it was made for Windows XP/Vista/7 specificly.
I need to know whether it can damage my MAC, or I am able to install Windows 8 Pro.
Thanks guys.

Windows 8 is not supported by Bootcamp. There are no Bootcamp Windows 8 drivers http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899

Dual (Independent Mode) Thunderbolt Drive (5K iMac) - Second drive not showing in Windows but shows in OSX

Hello everyone,
I have a (2014) 5K iMac.
I'm running an "OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual" hard drive running two drives running in Independent mode.
This enclosure has 1x USB3 and 2x Thunderbolt ports (one extra for daisy-chaining).
I have two 6TB drives in this enclosure which run perfectly in OSX under thunderbolt.
In bootcamp the two drives only work with the USB connection when using thunderbolt ONLY the first drive is shown.
I need to use Thunderbolt because all my USB ports are already used.
I am running Windows 8.1 installed using Bootcamp Assistant.
I have had this problem since getting my iMac at launch but now I'm already using too many USB ports including some HUBS.
I have done many web searches, I cannot seem to find someone else with the same problem. I have also noticed the new 5K iMac fixed many of the older problems of Thunderbolt with Bootcamp.
Hopefully there is something I can do to resolve this?
Thank you for your time.

While the enclosure supports daisy-chaining, I'm not using that feature.
The enclosure with two drives inside is connected directly to my mac using the supplied thunderbolt cable.
I'd also like to ask if anyone uses an enclosure that supports 2 or more drives with thunderbolt on a Mac using Windows 8?
If it works for anyone and they can see all the drives that would mean the issue relies with me or my configuration rather than the entire mac ecosystem.
I have a feeling I had seen someone else with my problem in my earlier Google searches 6 months ago. But now I cannot find anything, not sure if I'm using the correct search terms or it was a false memory on my part.
Anyways, thank you for your response

Why are my Photos very poor when printed from PSE9, but fine from iPhoto.

I have the most up to date versions of Mac OS and printer driver for Epson Stylus Photo R280. I have tried many different print settings in PSE9, but my photos are still very grainy and poor quality. Sometimes just a blank sheet pulls through the printer. Please help.

Hope you choosing the correct paper type and profile settings. Also choosing the correct color management will surely help as i myself use the same printer on win as well as mac and not observing any such issues.

Qosmio X-70 - keys very often not working in games but fine otherwise

Hello,
When playing any game on this Qosmio X-70 laptop, the keys are often not very responsive and I have to press the keys often multiple times for them to do what they should. Outside of games all keys respond without any problems. It is unfortunately making playing games on a gaming laptop somewhat impossible.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.

Very often means not always but sometimes. Correct?
Did you notice the keyboard problem playing just some particular games or all games?
Is this issue noticeable using external keyboard?

All is well in OSX, the left monitor shows as the main monitor but in XP it shows them the opossite way round and i can't seem to change them?

Swap cable positions and see if you can then configure the way you need.

[solved] Sound very quiet

Sorry, already solved.
"amixer set Front unmute 100%" fixed the problem. Strangely enough, i muted and unmuted each and every playback device via alsamixer many times.
If you have similar problems try these three commands:
amixer set Master unmute 80%
amixer set Front unmute 100%
amixer set Headphone unmute 100%
Hello,
my sound is very very quiet. To hear something I have to turn my amplifier up to at least 1/2 volume. At that volume level it would usually be enough to be wake the neighbourhood.
I checked with alsamixer if the sound output was muted but it isn't. What's strange is that the sound output worked just fine today but a restart suddenly the sound was very quiet like this.
Any ideas what's causing this?
Mainboard is MSI H55M-ED55 with sound chip ALC889.

Audio playback is very quiet after Windows 8.1 upgrade on Pavilion g7

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 trial version and the audio playback is very quiet through the laptop speakers. Through headphones or played through the TV it works great.
I have a Pavilion g7.
When I check the drivers they tell me that I have the most recent divers.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, @Nautic-Al
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you're having an audio issue with the notebook. I would like to try to help you with this.
As you're using a Trial version of Windows please read this document: HP PCs - About Beta or Preview Software.
To go along with that I will provide you this document for troubleshooting: No Sound from Speakers (Windows 8).
If that does not help you, then you'll have to revert back to the installed OS or completely upgrade to a non trial version.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

A new Mac Mini seems to have a very quiet constant squeaking sound, is this normal?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a brand new Mac Mini (i5) yesterday, and today in my very quiet room noticed that there is a very quiet squeeking sound coming from the unit (I believe it is near the front of the machine, opposite where the ports are). It is constant and changes pitch very slightly - but when there is a chirping noise from the hard-drive doing work, I think it stops then comes back straight after.
Any idea's if this is a problem and if I should be worried? It's just a bit annoying.
I have the latest 2013 i5 model.
Thanks everyone,
John.

If you purchased the full AppleCare service support extended plan with automatic enrollment with the Mini computer, and you get a new one (or refurbished) ask that the Plan coverage be moved to the replacement Mac. Or refunded if you choose to wait & want to re-think your next product. They may be able to re-credit your method of payment, if a credit card.
I usually read through the product support discussion forums to see what the patterns of issues are, since that may be an indicator of a sort within a narrow specific build series model & sub-year version; and am watchful of graphic card problems in models where the parts may be difficult or costly to replace, if at all, later on.
At least with a Mini, you can choose several display adapters and hope to get a good match with whatever kind of display or digital TV you may wish to try & use as a screen. Some don't do all that well, & others do better.
Good luck & happy computing!

Incoming ichat convo very quiet

Hey Guys,
Just trying to get a podcast going in GB3. Myself and a buddy are audio chatting on ichat, except he comes in quiet on my end. I have to turn up my system volume to a good 3/4 of the way to hear him properly.
When trying to import into GB3 i hit the record button, the import ichat convo window comes up and we each get a track... but i am on both tracks... and so is he... but he is very very quiet. Now if we could get eachother on seperate tracks (like i thought would happen) i could probally boost the track volume of his track to make his volume slightly louder, but chances are it will be still on the quiet side.
He is using a usb mic and i am using a line mic through a small mixer. We are both on powermac G5s.
Basically how can i boost his volume on my end and how can we be on 2 seperate tracks in sound as well as the screen?
Thanks in advance
Ryan

all the volumes are cranked on his end... and its still coming in quiet in garageband on my end... and its still doubling the voice tracks on each indivisual tracks.
he trid on his garageband on his end (GB2) and its coming in loud and as it should....
anyone have any ideas?

Bootcamp and windows 8 Pro

Has anyone had a problem with the wireless Apple keyboard and mouse when using Bootcamp? I am running Windows 8 Pro. I have done a bootcamp software update after installing Mountain Lion on the OS X side and reinstalling Windows 8 Pro. My keyboard and mouse work fine on the OS X side and on the password page to Windows, but once on the desktop, NOTHING! Microsoft says they cannot help me at all and Apple has been very patient about trying to find a fix. All software is updated and all devices are working properly, according to the messages. I can hear "clicking" from the desktop speakers when trying to type using Word, so I would think that they keyboard is being recognized. I am NOT a super computer person, so I have no clue as to what the problem can be. I am just looking to see if anyone out there has seen this problem.

Windows 8 Pro? Not with BootCamp.
Depending on your computer’s hardware and OS X version, Boot Camp supports Microsoft Windows Windows XP with Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8. For more details, see Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows. For information about using 64-bit editions of Windows, see this article.
