Q: bootcamp no sound win 10

HI

 

Lately, i've installed windows 8.1 on my macbook pro running osx mavericks 10.9.5 and then i've upgraded it to windows 10 using windows free update. The problem is : now in my windows 10 partition, i can't figure how to make sound working nor the apple HFS+ read only drive so my mac partition can show up in windows explorer. I've tried several thing including : run boocamp assistant from bootcamp 6 version, didn't work, i've also tried to run the driver installer for the sound manually (realtek setup find in the bootcamp folder of my usb key made to install win8.1), but the setup get stuck at installing these so called realtek drivers. I opened up terminal to end the process so bootcamp installer can continue to the end, but not luck at all. Every time I check for error on the sound windows tell me to restart to make the modification take effect, but I did that several times and still no sound. Now i'm running out of idea. Even in apple website, they said that my model is able to run win10 (macbook pro mid-2012 model, non-retina). Am i missing something? or is it the apple driver didn't get any update yet to support windows 10?

 

 

Regards,

 

Simon.

 

P.-s. I don't know if it's relevant, but to make me choose to boot either on mac or windows partition at startup, I've installed rEFInd boot manager on my macbook.

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)

    Loner T, looking at all your set up there is only one difference I see, you are using the a USB 2.0 flash drive.

    I am using a 3.0 USB flash drive (Kingston Data Traveler), can this be the cause for me not being able to boot in BIOS Mode (Legacy) using BCA?

    Please use a USB2 flash drive and test.

    I will try to borrow one and test this out.

    Is your disk2 the designated drive and is it located in your Optibay?

    Can you put the designated Windows disk in the Main Bay, disconnect the main bay drive and try to install W10 after a SMC and NVRAM reset? Once it is installed and working properly, then connect the second drive in the Optibay and test booting both OSes. Do not use Alt/Option key to interrupt the installation.

    I can't really do that because last time I made change there in my macbook I f''' up my wifi card wired and i couldn't make it work again. I had to go to an apple store to resolve the issue and the technician told me that next time i ran in an issue, my macbook must be with all original part. Otherwise they wont help me anymore. So i'm not really wanting to try to mess up with this again. But by the time before I ran into such problem, I remember that I did switch both hard drive to see if this could resolve any problem and it didn't. Hope this help.

    Can you disconnect the Main Bay SATA cable and leave the Optibay drive connected and try to re-install W10 on it? Your MBP Model Identifier and configuration mismatch, which can cause BCA failure. The other option is to check if you actually have a MBR on disk2. If you do not have an MBR, you will only get the EFI boot installer to work.

     

    Please post the output of

     

    sudo fdisk /dev/diskN

     

    If the disk number has changed, pick the appropriate number for the Windows disk.

     

    You show three disks, can you disconnect the all external storage till the installation completes?

    Ok so I disconnected the OSX drive and run the installer by holding option key and selecting the drive saying windows (the other one saying EFI which I didn't choose), but when i'm at the installation screen, I select advanced options and I see 2 partitions: 1 with 128 Mo MSR and another on with 465 Go. So I choose the second one, but windows installer tell me that windows can't be installed in this partition, because it is of GPT type and a little bit lower, another sentence say: windows can't be installed on this drive, because it is MSR formatted, windows can only be installed to a NTFS drive. So I selected the format option to format it in the proper way, but still, windows can't be installed to this drive because it is a GPT partition. So I tried something different, I erase both partition so that only one appeared on the select drive tab and now windows allowed me to continue forward with the installation. Once windows was all set up, I shutdown the computer and replug the OSX drive, but now when i'm holding the option key again, 3 drives appear, one saying mac OSX, the other 2 being Windows and EFI, so i selected the one saying Windows and all i get is a black screen with blank cursor and i'm unable to boot to windows again. I disconnected the OSX drive (again) and by holding the option key, only one thing appear and one thing only : Windows. I selected it and bam! Windows Boot. Now I installed Boot camp driver ( by selecting Setup on the usb key, inside the bootcamp folder) and restarted the computer. Sound working (awesome!) but no machintosh HD drive on the File explorer. ( got to dig a little deeper). I still don't know what make it impossible for windows to boot when OSX drive is connected.

     

    Now that you mention it, I remember that when creating BC usb key, I often got System-UI server has crashed pop-up during the process, but I didn't bother because BC assistant didn't crashed and continue it own process.

    The Windows drive needs to be in the main bay. Please choose the whole disk and the correct disk which has Windows for the fdisk command. Boot into OS X and post the output of diskutil list command.

    Your disk1 (with a CS volume) can not be seen by Windows, because Apple does not provide a driver for visibility to CS. Disk2 should be visible in Windows.

     

    If you want to clean up the EFI selection, please use Re: Can't resize Macintosh HD partition as a reference and cleanup the EFI files from the appropriate disk.

    Ok thanks for the help lonerT, I guess i'll have to iinstall windows on a drive in the main sata bay in order to make it work, so i'll just use the drive in the optic bay as a storage drive. About what you said earlier (Your MBP Model Identifier and configuration mismatch, which can cause BCA failure) do you think a simple reinstallation of OSX should fix it?

    A SMC/NVRAM Reset should also fix the BCA Model issue. Install Windows in the main bay, OSX can be installed in the Optibay drive as well as the main bay.

    Yeah, but unfortunately last time I switch or even touch the inner part of my macbook, I ended up with my Wifi not working anymore, so I think i'll just leave the Hard disk drives were they are. Thanks for the tip!
