Windows 7 x64 USB AUDIO DEVICE - Device Not Working - Mac Pro

I have a mac pro early 2009. I had vista x64 installed, everything was great. I had 2 audio devices under device manager, one was listed as HD (digital) and one device was listed as analog audio.
When I played games and wanted the external speakers (using the digital out connection) I had the HD (digital) audio device enabled.
When I played games and wanted to use a headphone/microphone combo, I had the analog audio device enabled.
Switching between the two was as easy as clicking the audio device icon and clicking on whichever device I wanted.
Now that I installed windows 7 x64, I have a HD (optical out) device in device manager and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, I also have another device listed called "USB Audio Device" and it shows a yellow exclamation mark next to it and it is NOT working properly.
I tried many suggestions on here, which included downloading the cirrus logic audio driver and picking different models, as well as trying the snow leopard install disk driver for cirrus logic, and even tried installing the realtek analog driver. The closest I got to getting anything to work was installing the realtek analog driver. It installed fine up to the point when windows said "this driver is not tested, do you wish to install it anyway?" and I click yes, but then it pauses for a few seconds and the same message comes up again and repeats in a endless loop until you say "no, do not install driver" and then it does a uninstall of the driver.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so were you able to fix it?
Thanks

I found Gigabyte has links to latest updates which work fine.
Treat Mac Pro as just a dual Xeon PC.

Or from Realtek which is http://218.210.127.131/
http://www.realtek-driver.com/
Guru3D is also a popular site for drivers.

You can ignore USB audio, you want RealTek HD Audio. There are or can be some of those yellow alerts that are safe to ignore. Buried somewhere in Apple Support BootCamp technotes.
You can use installer from Realtek or zip file in which case just uncompress and update the driver from inside Device Manager. Nice thing, you can rollback a driver if you want to, or totally uninstall and then reinstall.

  • "Show my windows and tabs from last time" not working, Mac OS 10.6.4, FF 3.8.10 or FF 4 Beta 6

    I have tried any number of times to get this to work, but it's still not working. On my other Mac with OS 10.6.4 and FF 3.6.8/10 the "show my windows and tabs from last time" is working just fine.
    I have checked some of the settings in about:config per some of the other forum posts with resolution to this issue, but this hasn't worked for me. Especially Since some settings have changed in the more recent versions of FF.
    I'm pretty sure my settings are correct. Is anyone else having this same issue?
    On the Mac exhibiting the issue it prompts me if I want to close all open tabs when the red X is clicked, when I quit firefox it keeps my tabs open just fine when firefox starts up the next time. This is normal behavior, but when the feature in question is active it overrides this behavior, on my other mac, and just stores my last session so that when I open firefox all is as it was before it was closed (either closing it via quit or with the red X will do the trick).
    On my new mac, the prompt to close open tabs never goes away and my tabs just vanish, whichever way I close firefox.
    I hope that was clear enough. Thanks for any help.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] in Firefox 3.5 and later to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • HT2090 External iSight camera video feed working fine but mic is not working Mac Pro 2009 and Mountain Lion 10.8.4

    Finally I decided to move forward and installed Mountain Lion 10.8.4 (with all the updates). Now I am facing a dilemma, my external iSight Camera  is working fine regarding the video fee but the Mic is useless. I am using a Mac Pro 2009 and a Apple Cinema Display 30". I checked all the trends about iSight External devices but no one has a really specific solution for my problem. Firewire is not longer supported with Mountain Lion? By the way my iSight was working perfectly before. So I am wondering if something wrong happened with the OS and the support for this kind of device?   I reset the PRAM, the SMC, even I reinstalled the MAC OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4) from scratch. So I am wondering if the problem is that ML is not longer supporting this device or what is the issue here.
    Hope someone can help me with it!
    Thanks

    Not true.  External iSight works fine with my '09 Mac Pro and 10.8.4.

    So it must have.

    You have tried several good things, but there may be other suggestions from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090 that you have not yet considered.  Be sure to check more than one Apple app in more than one user account to help you pinpoint the cause of your trouble.  Then you will know what to fix.
    In addition to the Apple troubleshooting, check your  > System Preferences... > Sound > Input to verify that your iSight's mic is selected, not muted, and that its volume setting is properly adjusted.  You may need to check this again after restarting Mac or changing apps that use the mic.
    Also, be certain that the apps you are testing are configured to use iSight's mic.  Different apps select the mic in different ways.  For example, QuickTime X allow selection among various microphone alternatives via one of its preferences as shown in the image below: 
    (I was using my Display microphone and did not have my external iSight connected when I made this image.  Therefore, there is no iSight mic shown in my list of mic choices above.  If your iSight's mic is properly connected, turned on, and recognized by your Mac, iSight will show in your QTX microphone preference choice list.)
    If you are trying to use your iSight with a Flash based web site, also check your Mac's  > System Preferences... > Flash Player > Camera and Mic settings to verify that your Flash system preferences are not blocking your mic.
    Some other apps may offer mic and or camera selection via their application menus.  If you have trouble finding out how to select the iSight internal mic in other apps, check each apps' Help or post back the name of the app whose selector you cannot locate here so we can try to help.

  • Bluetooth not working mac pro 10.8.5

    Bluetooth not woking on Mac Pro  (2x 2.4 quad) afrer inatalling 10.8.5
    Rolled back to 10.8.4, unplugged from power for 20 seconds. Zapped the PRAM twice and it appears to be working again....
    Has anyone got 10.8.5 working on a Mac Pro with Bluetooth ?

    On a Late 2009 iMac, this problem cannot be solved. I have tried resetting SMC, zapping PRAM, deleting file(s). No fix, no built-in Bluetooth.
    CORRECTION:
    Much thanks to Rex Raymond.
    This worked for me as well:
    1. Trash the com.apple.bluetooth.plist at /Library/Preferences.
    2. Delete the kext caches with this terminal command: sudo rm -R /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kext.caches
    3. Shut down the laptop. Unplug all cables but power.
    4. Reset the SMC by pressing Shift+ Control+ Option keys on the LEFT hand side of the keyboard, then pressing the power button at the same time and releasing of all of those keys together.
    5. Power up the computer.
    6. Zap the PRAM by holding down Cmd+Opt+P+R and wait for second chime
    7. Start up in Safe Boot by holding Shift key until progress bar appears.
    8. Upon logging in, open System Preferences. Note that the Bluetooth icon is again visible.
    9. Reboot normally and log in.
    10. Turn Bluetooth on and test by pairing with mouse. Verify functionality.

  • Display does not work mac pro

    I tried connected 4 27" LG 1080p monitors to the mac pro (Late 2013), only two come on at a time no matter what ports i use. All the monitors have come on at least once but not all at the same time. Is there something I need to do? Also under system report it shows both graphic cards but the displays only show up on one card regardless of port. any ideas?

    hi,
    I have installed registery mechanic last week and made a system run in my laptop. After re starting my laptop, my audio devices are not working fine. I have installed the drives correctly and they are reflecting in program lists, how ever the audio device is not working.

    Tecra A8
    Model No = PTA83L-04C02N
    Can you please tell me from where I need driver so that my "Fn" key will be operation? Right now I tried to use "Fn" with F6 and F7 which suppose to change screen resolutions but nothing is happening.
    Can you please tell me if I reinstall New OS (Windows XP - Sp2) then in which order which driver and Toshiba software I should install?
    Hard to find XP drivers and utilities for that machine, Manoj. But you're in luck because the Asian part-number family PTA83L corresponds to the European PTA83E.
    Go to the European download site and look up the Tecra A8 with Short Model No. PTA83E. You'll find 40 XP drivers, utilities, and BIOS updates.
    Install the Chip Set Utility first, then the Display Driver, and then the other major drivers. Install the Common Module prior to Toshiba utilities and other programs.
    Good luck!

  • T430S device manager: USB-IF x HCI USB host controller is not working properly

    Hi ,
    How to change get ride off the exclamatory mark on this device:
    Problem:
    Device manger Intel WiUSB: USB IF x HCI USB Host Controller always has the exclamartory mark on it.
    Device status: This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)
    Pls help, thanks.

    Hey there wche5,
    I found some information over on this thread may be beneficial to your situation. This controller enables USB over wireless as part of the Intel (WiDi) Wireless Display function. To obtain a fix you will need to go to the Intel Site, and run the Intel Driver Update Utility. This should identify any Intel drivers you have that are out of date, including the WiDi driver.
    Other threads on the forums point directly to this driver by Intel that typically resolves the problem, found on this thread at the end.
     I hope this able to assist you in getting a solution to your issue, Thank You wche5!

  • Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard?

    Are mobile internet USB devices still not working on Snow Leopard? I actually had to go back to my previous operating system to get this to work. I would however prefer to use Snow Leopard...if Apple & HUAWEI have finally got their act together!

    There appears to be a problem with drivers for USB wireless modems with 10.6. I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard and now can't connect to the internet with my wireless modem. I hope Apple sort this out soon. Or maybe it's Huawei that needs to put a 10.6 driver into its software.

  • Satellite U400-17R - Sound device is not working after installing XP

    Hi there,
    I purchased a U400-17R Model with Vista Home. i Formatted it and installed Windows XP Professional downloading the XP drivers from Toshiba site.
    Everything works but my Sound Device is not working. when i check in the Device Manager the Sound Drivers are there and it says working properly.
    I am Lost...Can anyone please help?

    Hi!
    On Windows XP you have to install two patches from the Microsoft Knowledge Base for high definition audio cards. If you only have SP1 or SP2 you need the patches but if you have SP3 you dont need it because they are a part of SP3.
    Both patches or SP3 must be installed *first* and then the sound driver. So if you have installed the sound driver first you must remove it and then install the patches again. After this it should work with the sound:

    Using Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter shows the "device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.

    Internet and WiFi connections all working ok. Am also running MacDrive 8 to access the Mac drives when in the Windows partition, again without any seeming issues.
    Updating the driver simply generates another Code 31 error.
    Appreciate this seems to be a known problem - is the a solution a novice use might be able to follow or should I simply ignore the error message?
    Driver Date us 21/06/2006 and Driver Version is 6.1.7600.16385.

    Hi  ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY 4-1204tx Ultrabook and issues with WiFi adapter is not working properly. Error codes in Device Manager in Windows  8.1 could be fixed by deleting any extra drivers. So I would uninstall all that is listed in the Network drivers in the Device Manager, restart the Notebook. Here is a list of Device Manager options, this might help.
    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updating or reinstalling. Hope this helps. Thanks.
