How to get Audio Drivers for Macbook in Windows 10. And 500 GIG HDD and using Bootcamp 6.0, no audio. Bootcamp built in audio with macbook Pro mid 2014 win7. Jul 29, 2019  It goes without saying that one must install the Boot Camp drivers for many functions to work under Windows on this machine. The version of Boot Camp I am using is 5.1.5621. If you are on Windows 7, the driver version is 4.0.4033. By the way, Bluetooth audio streaming never worked under Windows 7 on this machine no matter what I tried. Easy & New way to Fix: Web Site Link: How to Make Bootable USB For Macbook:If you. I have a 2015 Macbook Air running Windows 10 on bootcamp. Everything works great except for sound via HDMI. When I plug in the HDMI cable no new sound device shows up when I.

Windows 8.1 isn't playing back audio on my 13' mid-2012 Macbook Pro. I only have a speaker with an x on my notifications bar. When I click on it, I get the usual 'detecting problems' garbage. Unfortunately, every 'solution' I've found seems to work for everyone else, but not for me.

Device Manager

Windows shows a High Definition Audio Controller listed under System. Its properties state that it has a Code 10 - 'This device cannot start', along with 'The requested operation was unsuccessful.' This is the only notion of an audio device listed in Device Manager.

Most solutions I've found say drivers need to be reinstalled (downloaded from the internet or simpliy re-run from the Bootcamp support drivers) and I've currently tried the following:

  • Bootcamp setup.exe (No errors are reported, 5.0.5033 'installs' a variety of sound drivers)
  • Cirrus Audio (Both CirrusAudiox64.exe and a manual .inf installation)
  • Realtek (I've tried nearly every link I've found)
  • Intel Graphics 4000 (apparently it does audio too)

Every executable runs and reports success, however, I don't see any sign of a change apart from the Realtek driver copying files somewhere in Program Files, and the Intel driver blanking the screen a few times.

Cirrus Audio

I've tried manually installing the Cirrus Audio driver by performing the following:

  1. Select High Definition Audio Controller from Device Manager
  2. Click on Driver -> Update Driver
  3. Select 'Browse my computer for driver '
  4. Select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers'
  5. Click 'Have Disk..' and navigate to the .inf file

At this point windows complains that the driver does not support Windows x64, despite having 'x64' written all over it.

Rounding out the bank is a number of scat vocal sounds.BANK2Bank 2 features Voices and Waveforms from a number of third party sources. Yamaha motif driver download. 73 Voices were taken from Easy Sounds Phat Analog library including Voices based on waves sampled from a variety of vintage analog synths. 24 Voices were taken from the Organ Session library from Easy Sounds including a complete set of B3 drawbar waves. It includes a wide selection of brass and woodwind sounds including soprano, alto and tenor saxes and sax sections, trumpets, flugel horns and tubas and stereo brass falls. 31 sounds were taken from the DCP Productions libraries including voices from Vintage Keyboards, Bee's Knees, Axxe, Complete Orchestra and Mo School.BANK3Bank 3 features a wide variety of ethnic sounds with a particular emphasis on instruments from the Middle East.

'The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for x64-based systems.'

Air

If I skip #'s 4 and 5, and browse directly for the driver files, Windows reports that the Driver software is already up to date.

'Windows has determined the driver software for your device is up to date.'

This makes me believe that Windows 8.1 might have an issue with certain drivers, deeming them unusable in some way. It's possible that windows is denying the .exe installers' drivers, Realtek, and Cirrus behind the scenes, without letting them install anything. Maybe they report success and silently fail?

Setup

It's worth mentioning that my Bootcamp setup isn't typical. I've partitioned the hard drive and installed windows manually, alongside Arch Linux. (I've triple booted this thing, and windows audio is the final hurdle.) I'm also using the refind efi bootloader to boot the system.

For the windows boot option, I point refind to /EFI/Microsoft/bootmgfw.efi, without any options. I'm thinking that Bootcamp might do more than partition and install, and that I'm supposed to do more to inform windows about the macbook hardware at this stage. Is this the case? Did I miss something critical about Bootcamp?

If anyone can help me solve this, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks.

P.S. I'm a linux user, so windows drivers aren't exactly my forte. If I'm doing something totally wrong, please let me know.

Navigate on your Mac to the Bootcamp application. Before this make sure you have a 8GB USB flashdrive formatted to FAT 32, Windows default. Open Bootcamp app, and install the latest Bootcamp drivers onto the USB. I suggest naming the USB to SUPPORT all caps after doing this.

Navigate to Windows Partition on boot menu. Open up File Explorer, click on you new SUPPORT drive, open up Bootcamp folder, then drivers, click on Realtek driver set up .exe, and install that (depending on your computer it will prompt you to restart it or not after installing). Next after rebooting or re-installing the Realtek driver, head into the Cirrus folder.

This is the most important part about getting the sound to work

Click on the second .exe driver manual download, and run it. If you don't do the second one first, it won't work. After the download is complete, click on the first Cirrussetup.exe and install that. After that is complete, when you go to test your Mac's sound, there will be a slight delay.. followed by the nice obnoxious chirp on Microsoft's sound test.

Forget EFI and install using boot camp assistant.

After backing everything up, wiping my partitions, and installing Windows 8.1 using Bootcamp, everything works as normal. The machine boots using bios mode, Cirrus Audio was properly installed after a single run of setup.exe from the Bootcamp support software, and the device is recognized properly as VEN_1013 DEV_4206 --Cirrus Audio CS4206B (AB 82).

It sucks, but it's worth it. I plan on resizing windows' ntfs partition and booting linux beside it, but that's a problem for another day.

So what I just did was I pluged my bootable usb drive (from bootcamp) back in and went into bootcamp>drivers>Cirrus then clicked the exe and it auto changed the drivers and enabled my microphone as well. hope this helps!

If you installing Windows 7/8/8.1 on MAC in EFI (native) mode - you'll get problem with sound.If you installing Windows in BootCamp mode - you'll get corrupted files on your hybrid MBR/GPT disc if you'll try to use same files on both systems.If you have only 1 system (Windows in bios mode or Mac OS in gpt) - no problem.So you have to decide.

  • If the assistant says that the Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive, or that the USB flash drive can't be used, make sure that your USB flash drive has a storage capacity of at least 16GB and is formatted correctly.
  • If the assistant doesn't see your USB flash drive, click Go Back and make sure that the drive is connected directly to the USB port on your Mac—not to a display, hub, or keyboard. Disconnect and reconnect the drive, then click Continue.
  • If the assistant says that it can't download the software because of a network problem, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
  • Make sure that your Mac meets the system requirements to install Windows using Boot Camp.
