jxtpstn Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 So I just bought this brand new, 2.4GHz Core2Duo MacBook Pro (4GB RAM, good stuff), and I nearly immediately installed Boot Camp. It took a few tries to get it to work (drivers CD didn't want to work so well the first few times, and comp froze/trackpad and mouse refused to cooperate), but I got it working with Win XP Pro. I wasn't sure if it was a problem, but it's probably good to mention that one file, called like ariella-something.dll or something like that wouldn't install, so I just skipped it. When I finally got it working, I immediately noticed there was no sound. I checked the volume, but there was no volume. What? Yeah, there was no volume. I mean, nothing. Not mute. Just none to begin with. I went to the control panel. It said, No Audio Device Detected. I was like, wtf? I looked it up. I figured it was a driver problem. I tried to find the drivers that would make it work (I've done like 5 different ones, including two different Intel-backed ones, and one from someplace called like softplay or something), but nothing worked. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jxtpstn Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 I remade the drivers cd, and reinstalled it, and still the computer does not recognize any audio device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jxtpstn Posted June 29, 2007 Author Share Posted June 29, 2007 ok, so a bit of an update: i repartitioned the hard drive (the original one turned out to be too small for my uses), and reinstalled the drivers. again, there is no audio device recognized. i have the latest version of boot camp and everything... i just dont get it. any help is much appreciated. EDIT: just out of curiosity, is anyone else having this issue or a similar on,e or am i alone in my pain? POST EDIT: I got it to work (finally). The trick was that you had to go into the device manager (under control panel -> system -> hardware), and go under system devices. Towards the botom of that list, there will be a PCI device that has a yellow "!" next to it, kind of in the icon. Right click it, and update the driver (do not use an cd or anything). Viola, sound.
