MacBook no sound in XP

[HodgeHi]

is it realtek audio on the new macbooks then?

I have looked at the tech specs but not much info on the chipsets used. Maybe an aieda32 (or something similar) report may shed more light...

[HodgeHi]

I will see if I can get the leopard file for the driver to check the install. Apparently the beta ends december 31st anyway so it looks like upgrading but at the moment I am reluctant. Maybe because I have got to upgrade the ram as well on all 40 machines.

Make sure the windows audio service is started m8, have had problems before with upnp and audiosrv service not starting

I thought it was SigmaTel, it could be Realtek.

 

@pooley checked the audio service and it has been started ok.

 

Cheers again.

Apple have recently updated their macbook range to use the new Intel processors i think. Have you run a report against the hardware to find out what it is exactly?

I will run a report today, and try and find out what it is!!

Try runnning this microsoft KB835221 High Definition Audio Patch before installing the driver, when you install the driver it sound then detect the sound card. We have had this problem on a number of dual booting Macbook Pros and with windows machines installed with XP service pack 3. The problem is with realtek and sigmatel chipsets. Have known it to work installing the patch after the driver, once the patch is installed it detects the soundcard.

The drivers above do work!

Just so that people who have the same problem know...

 

I have a 2.4ghz macbook, with realtek audio...
