2. Go to device manager.

• Right click on sound and select " update driver software"

  select " Browse my computer for driver software"

  • Click BROWSE
  • 
  • Click OK to install
  • Device manager should show:
  • REBOOT
• wollaaaaz..... you should be all set.
• enjoy the sound of Apple ....

Found one solution that works after working through a bunch that didn't.

The audio drivers that come with the latest boot camp don't work to produce sound even though Windows is reporting that the device High Definition Audio is working.

The task is to update the device driver using the driver from Cirrus Logic which can be found at

http://www.stuffedcow.net/macbook_audio. Select "WinVista" version on this page or use this link to download the zip that contains the drivers at http://www.stuffedcow.net/files/CS4207_WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit_6-6001-1-30.zip.

First unzip the drivers to a file folder of your choice that you will need to remember as you will need to point to it later, e.g. c:\users\yourname\Cirrus_Logic

Next find the audio device in device manager. Can use Search Settings "device", select "update device drivers" or "device manager" and find "Sound, Video, and Game Controllers". Under this item, you should see a High Definition Audio device that is working properly., Right Click on it and select "Update Driver Software", then "Browse My Computer for driver software", then navigate to or paste the folder path into the location window. Click Next, and it will start looking for drivers in that folder/path.

It should find the drivers and complete the installation and when it is done your sound device should now be named "Cirrus Logic". Be patient at this step, it can take a few minutes.

Must reboot computer at this point and then sound through speakers or audio jack should be working!

Good Luck,

Darryl

Thanks Folbaj. Totally worked! I've been living w/o audio on my Bootcamp windows for a couple years now. Ran into a little hurdle when trying to update my Driver. When navigating to the Cirrus Driver make sure to hit "next", not "Let me pick..."

My Method is easier and also will install other mac compatible drivers for the i sight and much more Scroll to the bottom

The Only catch is you will need a mac osx installation disk preferably snow leopard but im confident any would work

Hi!

First, excuse my poor way to explain because Im from Costa Rica in Central America and my native language is Spanish. I have a Macbook Air with maverick 10.9 and windows 8 installed, everything is fine except the sound, there is no sound at all. Lucky to get to this post, download the Cirrus Logic file that you recommend

http://www.stuffedcow.net/files/CS4207_WinVista_Win7_32-64-bit_6-6001-1-30.zip.

and follow the installation procedure, but I have one question: Which one of the long list of models I have to choose? Any help or suggestion to get the sound finally in my laptop will be appreciated!

I have to mention that I download to a USB drive the latest version of bootcamp directly from my other OS in the same laptop and when I try to run the bootcamp.exe the system says isn´t compatible with my version of 64bits. Apparently this is the only real solution but Im stuck in the final step to close this painful chapter in my life, hahaha.

I have a Macbook 8, 1 (Late 2011) I struggle getting the sound to work and I was successfully able to do so and installed Windows 10. This can be done with Windows 8 too. Forget about Bootcamp. After soooo many attempts I got it to work!. Super easy, you need to install windows with UEFI Support.

1. Partition your windows drive with DiskUtility

2. Insert your Windows DVD

3. Restart your Mac

4. Hold the Option button when booting

NOTE: You may see 3 options (Mac OS, Windows, and EFI Boot)

5. SELECT "Windows"

6. Install

7. Once Windows is installed, install the Bootcamp drivers

8. Enjoy the sound of your Mac

Also, you can create a USB flash drive to install Windows. Follow the link below for more info.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Enjoy amigos!

I used DVD and still no sound. I have the same problem like gerardofromveracruz,Adam@1955, colibry, and also Macbook PRO 13 inch 2011.

Intel Graphic 3000 tried to reinstal and download every mentioned drivers and still code10.

Thank you for any other ideas or solutions

Depending on your Mac model, you may or may not have the same Audio drivers. The best method is to go to Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support and find the drivers that are appropriate for you specific Mac year/model. Trying arbitrary drivers causes more problems than it solves.

Once the correct drivers are available on a USB2 flash drive (not a USB3 device), you should use Boot Camp: Install or repair Boot Camp drivers to fix any issues.

The ORDER you uninstall and re-install drivers is important. Assuming you are using the correct Bootcamp* (as it has the windows drivers to fix this problem) for your version of Windows, then the sound problem is usually a mix up in audio drivers installed.

I've put a detailed explanation and solution here ( No Audio ( Bootcamp ) ) - see my reply part way down - that should get around most peoples problem when the 'high definition audio' drivers have installed with windows and they are simply the wrong ones.

Cheers

Stu

*The solution has links to let you know, but basically the latest Bootcamp 5.1.xxxx (comes as part of latest Yosemite or can be found on apple support) is fine for Windows 7 to 8.1 and most modern hardware since about 2009. But there are a couple of exceptions so just make sure you have the version for your hardware (also a link in the post after my solution - thanks to Loner T for linking to the official Apple list of Bootcamp versions to compatible Hardware)

This worked for me. I have an early 2010 MacBook pro 17". I had just formatted my OS X (re-installed Yosemite) and deleted/recreated a bootcamp partition running Windows 7. After these operations I had no sound on the Windows side. After trying several common solutions, including the RealTek drivers, I found that Darryl's answer finally fixed the issue.

Thanks Darryl and thanks for posting.

i'm having same problem too,

Macbook pro 13 inch boot camp windows 8.1 pro, early 2011

Installed windows 8.1 pro using usb EFI Boot / EFI Mode,

use the GPT to change the BOOTCAMP disk permission

download and installed the newest bootcamp driver for windows

5.0.5033

everything works except audio.

I had this when I installed Windows 7 on my iMac. I fixed it by downloading the Realtek Audio Driver from here:

http://www.realtek.com/downloads/downloadsCheck.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Le vel=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false#High Definition Audio Codecs

The Latest Drivers will work with Windows XP through to Windows 8.

Then, just reboot and you should be good to go.
