Q: No audio, volume keys use, etc.
Using a Retina 5k 27" iMac Late 2015, 3.3 GHz Core i5, with the Radeon R9 M395, running El Capitan. Partitioned and installed Boot Camp with a Windows 8.1 iso without any issues on the OS X end.
When in Windows 8.1 Boot Camp:
- volume keys and number pad won't work on USB Apple keyboard
- no audio coming out of internal speakers
- can't adjust brightness with keyboard
Used free upgrade to Windows 10 from within Windows 8.1, hoping that would fix drivers and compatibility. It didn't. Issues still persist.
I've tried downloading the drivers from BCA separately, but that won't even download at all. The progress bar just sits there, about an inch long, and the estimated download time goes from around 10 minutes all the way up to 65 minutes and then back down, repeatedly. It just happens over and over again with no progress made. I've let it sit for an hour trying to do that and nothing helps. When I've tried downloading the zip files from Apple's support page and going that way, the Windows OS says that I can't use those drivers with this machine or something to that effect.
Followed Apple's directions for doing the partition and everything in BCA so I don't know what happened. After selecting the partition drive (I think it was number 5) during the install of Windows 8.1, it seemed like it went fine. But the right-click menu to restart in OS X option was nowhere to be found and when I boot in OS X, the boot camp hard drive icon on my desktop under the Macintosh HD is titled as "Untitled" instead of as Boot Camp? I don't know if that helps indicate what the issue might be. I've tried searching both within these boards and other places that Google provided and nothing helped. Almost all results were for Apple laptops or non-5k iMacs.
Please help. And let me know if there's any other information I can provide that would help.
Selected Installation and Storage and USB/Mouse/Keyboard/Trackpad categories since it kinda involves both.
iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2015), OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)

Update: figured out what was going wrong. Sound is working, brightness adjustment is now possible, and the usb super drive is installing a game as I type this. The number pad on my usb apple keyboard isn't working, but that I think just needs a wired keyboard driver update. Thanks for helping me though!
