Headphones not detected in Windows 7

Pretty sad that someone asks a question and doesn't even get a response that says they have no idea or anything.

becaue installing audio drivers yourself is a must, is not spelled out, but 'we' answer this type too many times.

Install the Cirrus (or RealTek in some cases)

And yes Windows can be fussy at times.

I just figure some people fiigure things out on their own too. Reallty. People do. On their own.

Ok, but what do you do when all of this fails (installing Realtek, Cirrus or both) and the person is still sitting there with sound coming out of the speakers but not the headphones? Headphones are recognized when plugged in as some kind of "line In" object and recognized when they are unplugged. I have been searching for an answer to this question for 2 weeks now and although some of the solutions are different, the results are the same, the headphones that are good, both sets that have been tried, do not work.

Hi Guys, same things here, I've reinstall my system with seven and the new Bootcamp 4 from Lion ... and .. so ugly, headphones doesn't works ... so why to do a new bootcamp if the older works well ...

Roll back to the previous version.

You did it wrong. Use System Restore and Roll Back.

I format and reinstall bootcamp again now, I let you know ...

(but I just test headphone on Lion osx and headphone doesn't work, before osx update : they works well so...)

I didn't and don't suggest a reinstall of Windows for this, I am out.

Partition is formated so ... I MUST reinstall Windows 🙂

And what do you suggest ?

Even though this is a resurrected two year old thread I'll jump in.

Get your Lion installation working correctly before attempting Bootcamp and reinstall of Windows. You said the headphones do not work with Lion. So you have done something wrong with your Lion install or you have a hardware issue.

After you get Lion and sound working then try Bootcamp Assistant making sure you download and install the Lion Bootcamp Windows Support software.

Ok, maybe, but how to make sound working with Lion ?

Reinstall OSX too ? 😟

Ok the SMC / PRAM process works to revover the headphone on OSX Lion, pfiou! 🙂

I try under Windows 7 now & let you know
