Soundcard / Audio Driver?? for Macbook 3.1

I was recently given a second-hand macbook, and instantly fell in love with the Leopard os. however as part a the course i was doing i needed to load a programe that only worked on windows, i tried using bootcamp, which asked me to free-up disc space, and i ended up accidentally wiping the harddrive (oh the horror!) I loaded windows XP home, and everything works fine (except reboot and ctrlaltdel??) however it appears i have no audio drivers installed, can anyone tell me which drivers i need? or what soundcard is used in the macbook? or (hope beyond hope) is there anyway to get Leopard back without the original installation discs. any help or ideas would be greatfully recieved.

Well, my first experiance of the applecare helpline did not go well, after explaining my problem (including not having the start-up discs) thier first responce was "a set of replacement discs will cost around £90-£100 (english pounds) strange since i called the Irish number (and ireland like most of europe uses euros??) thier second solution "you should reinstall the operating system using the start-up disks that came with the machine" just made me think i was talking to a idiot.
I then changed focus and asked if/where i could find out what soundcard is installed and i was told "we dont keep such specific information about our products" ????? Apple doesnt know what soundcards are installed on thier own machines??? can this be true ???
Im off to an applestore to see if they can tell me the same with a straight face.
So without knowing the specific soundcard, is there such a thing as a "generic driver" i could use??

    Maybe you got mega bucks, but for me throwing money at at Thunderbird drive is STUPID.
    How many times a day are you cloning your 200GB drive?   Must be several times a day.
    I'm all for getting the fastest computer with the most HP, but for backup money I'm going with USB external drive. I probably should state that I run my Time Machine about once a week.

  • Mac Audio Driver (for Screenflow) will not install

    I have downloaded a program called Screenflow, which records video and audio of my desktop. It used to work fine with my MacBook Pro but it doesn't work with my new iMac (Lion). The program is supposed to record the computer audio, and when I try to enable it, it asks me to accept it installing the audio driver for it. However, when I click install and enter the passport, it says it is unable to install it. What can I do?
    Thank you very much.

    Thank you. By realizing I was able to install the updates individually from the apple website, I discovered that one of the updates apple was trying to install was Airport Utility 6.1, even though I am running Snow Leopard. It apparenly requires 10.7.3 and up. The software update console doesn't seem to recognize this in its search for updates. Thanks again.  -ss

  • Audio driver for G550

    HI friends,
                       I've downloaded my audio driver for G550 laptops for my windows Xp...... But during installation there occured an error and was unable to load..... so please guide me , is there any other way to download the driver software....

    Hi Vaibhav,
    Welcome to the forum!
    Try any or all of these steps.
    1. Enter the BIOS and set it to default values.
    2. Disable the device driver that has problem in the device manager. If you see any yellow or red marks under a device then "Disable the profile" of the device by first going into it's properties. 
    3. Click Start , Run , and type the following into the Open field: msconfig, Click the Boot.ini tab. Remove the checkmark next to /Safeboot , if it is selected. Click OK and restart the PC.
    4. In Safe mode select Start, Run, type "msconfig" and click on OK. Check the box before Normal Startup and click on Apply and OK. Exit and restart your computer.
    5. Your computer may also be infected with a virus or malware, try running a complete scan with an updated antivirus/spyware.
    To successfully install the audio driver, your Windows XP must be at SP2 level and this patch must be applied prior to installing the audio driver:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-65456.html
    Hope it helps.

  • IMac Cirrus Audio Driver for Windows 7

    Here is a link for the Windows 7/Vista Audio Driver for the late 2009 iMacs:
    http://www.cirrus.com/en/support/lic/lic3.html?uri=/en/pubs/software/CS4207WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit6-6001-1-21.zip
    I am not using Bootcamp. I have installed Windows 7 only, but I think you can still get it to work. Unless this problem was already resolved another way and I didn't notice it.
    *BTW, anyone know how to get the Windows 7 driver for the iSight?*

    this is the one i tried to install in a macbook (late 2009), the last on the list is CS4206A (AB 99)
    the file is listed as 4207, implying that 4207 is the latest, however all i can get is CDB4207 in the list.
    installing 4206 ab99 gives me sound, but with left speaker higher than right speaker and NO headphone sound...
    i do however have isight working just with bootcamp 3.0 and 3.1 update installed....those drivers seem to work.

  • Where can I find the Audio driver for a dv9865ek on XP?

    Hi all,
    HP support doesn't have the audio driver for my laptop, which is a pavilion dv9865ek with XP64 installed.
    Any idea where I can find it or find out what the model of my sound card is?
    Thaks for your help. 

    If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
    Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.

    Microsoft LifeCam VX-7000 driver for MacBook Pro with retina display

    I see a mention of Google Chrome and VirtualBox in your log. Stop using those and see if the situation changes? From what we know so far, the problem is a software one (Apple's fault), not a hardware problem. Mountain Lion is supposed to fix the issue, which should be out in about a week. So you could wait til then, upgrade to ML, and see if its still crashing or not.

  • Where can I download Intel (R) Display Audio driver for HP Compaq L2206tm?

    Hi,
    I am using an Elitebook 820G1 with an external monitor HP Compaq L2206tm.
    The monitor is also not showing up in Sounds>Playback as of now.
    But when it does show up in Sounds, it can play sound from the laptop.
    Problem is sometimes after reboot or wake up from sleep, the monitor drops off from the Sounds panel.
    I tried uninstalling Intel (R) display audio driver from Device Manager, and then do a scan for hardware changes to reintall the driver, I get a message "Device driver software was successfully installed."
    May I know where can I download Intel (R) display audio driver for HP Compaq L2206tm / Elitebook 820G1?
    And what can I do to keep the monitor stay on the Sounds panel?
    Please help, I have googled endless with no results.

    Thank you Paul.
    I'm downloading the driver as I write.
    Hopefully HP will update their page and correct the link soon

    Won't hurt to reinstall the driver. There are three listed for your model. The first two have the same version and release date, but the file size is different. Try them all.

    Hi:
    Try the XP driver.  You will probably have to manually install it as follows...
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-46934-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
    Download and run the above file.  Close out of any error windows.
    Go to the device manager and click on the Multimedia Audio Controller needing drivers.
    Click on the driver tab.  Click on Update Driver.  Select the Browse my computer for driver software option and then at the bottom of that window, select the Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer.
    Click on Have Disk and browse to:  C:\SWSetup\sp34210\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP\smwdmCH6 and select the SoundMAX Integrated Digital Audio from the list and see if the driver installs.
    Then reboot.

  • Audio driver for HP Compaq with Windows 7???

    Hi
    Here's my problem...
    I have a HP Compaq dc7100 PC tower, I installed Windows 7 on it, but now impossible to find a working audio driver...
    There's only audio drivers for XP and Vista...
    What should I do?
    Thank you so much in advance!

    Hi:
    You have two choices:
    1. Launch the Windows Update program and let WU download and install the W7 audio driver for your dc7100 or,
    2. Download and install the Windows Vista Business audio driver for your PC:
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=12...
    If you installed the 64 bit version of Windows 7, you will need to click on your audio controller in the device manager, click on the driver tab. Then click on update driver and select the automatic method of finding the driver. Windows Update will download and install the 64 bit driver that way, but it won't if you just launch the Windows Update utility from the programs menu. Go figure!
