Default MacBook no sound in XP

We recently invested in some MacBook 13inch 2.0Ghz for our Media Studies course, we have also installed XP onto them.

For some reason the sound in XP doesn't work, we get the intial logon sound but then thats it, all the drivers BootCamp drivers installed fine on the XP side, when we click on the sound icon in bottom corner and try advanced, we get "DirectSound settings not available".

Any ideas?

I would recommend trying to reinstall the drivers if you have any XP compatible driver don’t rely on the driver built on to XP if that is what you are using

Remove the driver in device manager then re-install the driver. I had this issue sometimes on a 17" iMac. Seems to resolve the problem each time.

In device manager one of the PCI devices will have the dreaded Yellow exclamation mark. Go to the properties of this and update driver - select automatically, it will then find new audio devices etc etc

Works for me

@ HodgeHi : no Leopard just OSX

@ pooley : there are no yellow exclamtion marks in device manager, thats what is weird, everything seems to be ok, I mean the sound works when you log in then nothing.

I used 1.3. I never upgraded to 1.4 so cannot confirm if any problem exist.
I am looking at my Macbook's configuration now.
