    Hi,

    I just bought a MacBook Pro yesterday. I downloaded BootCamp and installed Windows XP Professional and loaded all the drivers.

    However, whenever I'm in Windows, I have no audio at all. Windows does not even detect an audio device. I tried to manually go into the BootCamp CD I made and install the audio driver, sigmatel. However, whenever I clicked on it to install it, it claimed that my system does is not built for these drivers.
    wtfness!!

    Can anyone help? I've looked for the past 4 hours for a solution, but no one seems to be having this problem. Everyone seems to be getting sound, but having problems with their headphones...

    Please help, it will be much appreciated!

    Thanks!

    that is strange. i have no idea. windows xp pro (32 bit) is ideal at the moment. the drivers should work properly.

    oh wait- figured it out. the correct driver is NOT sigmatel, it is a REALTEK driver. hunt for that one. get rid of the sigmatel one first.
