No Audio Boot Camp Windows 8

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

Hi,

I have found a solution for the windows audio problems in the Mac.

I'm the owner of a MBP 13" from 2012. I installed two hard drives and tried to install in the second hard drive windows with a lot of problems, so I decided to share the big disk with windows but I had the same audio problems as everybody.

Finally I decided to install windows 7,and after I asked myself: what will happen if I upgrade to windows 10? So I did, and the result is that everything works perfectly.

The solution: install Windows 7 and check that everything is working. After that, make an upgrade to windows 10.

I expect that it works for future new installations.

Best regards

Thanks Lavaryder! Works perfectly.

Here is The Latest Solution for all macbook laptop no audio sound in windows 10 or any Windows

Can you post the value of BIOS Mode if you run msinfo32 in Windows?

In the other hand, the device audio is

Cirrus Logic CS4206B (AB 82)

The driver file is

hdaudio.sys

and the version is

10.0.16299.15 (29/09/17)

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.

BIOS Version: Apple Inc. MBP91.88Z.00D7.B00.1708080744, 08/08/2017

SMBIOS Version: 2.4

BIOS Mode: Legacy

I'm not English. In Spanish the BIOS mode is "Heredado" and I suppose that the translation is "Legacy" in IT vocabulary.

Best regards

Thanks. Audio on a 2012 Mac works only in 'Legacy' (Inherited) mode.

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

*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)
