 Posted: Sat Apr 08, 2006 8:00 pm Post subject: No external sound |
 |
|
I just did the Boot Camp install with XP Home. Everything seems to work pretty well so far except for the external sound. The only sound I get is from the internal speaker. I tried digging around in Control Panel and wasn't able to resolve the issue. Any suggestions?
The system is a 1.66 w/2G memory and an a mini Stack v2
Thanks

| I found the answer on Apples site, the driver can't re-route the sound from the internal speaker yet. Bummer. |

You can't play audio with external speakers?  |

| You can if you are using the optical output, but not if you are using analog. Gotta wait for an udate from Apple or a hack from someone else. |

I too have found that sound is played through the internal speaker through windows no matter what I do. But I've been also able hear the sounds quite well at the same time through my analog creative speakers via the output as well. I just turn up the volume on those and it drowns out the internal speaker. I have seen no need for digital only output to use external speakers.
Could be a better solution, but just as good this way.
Hope this helps. |

I can play audio with my external speakers and/or the internal speaker. You guys might need to reinstall the SigmaTel drivers. |

| Did you notice a red LED behind the jack that glows when in XP? I see it on my wall and noticed it was coming from one of the two mini-jacks |

Wow! I wouldn't have noticed that because the end of my Monster stereo cable is big. I pulled the cable out a little bit, and sure enough it was glowing red. I'm not sure what that's all about. I guess there are some driver issues here. By the way, I need to clear up my last post. Audio plays through both the external speakers and internal speaker at the same time when a 3.5mm stereo cable is plugged in. I've also noticed that having your cable plugged into the audio-out/headphone jack doesn't cut off the internal speaker like it does in OS X. Is that what you are noticing? I wonder if this could cause some problems down the road? |

| I think that the drivers for XP just doesn't support the auto on/off of the internal speaker, so that needs revising. |

I tried the driver used in the hacked XP install and lost all sound. I went back to the Apple drivers and still had the same sound issue, only the internal speaker.
If my stereo had an optical input it woudln't be an issue, lol. |

|

| I have the same trouble which is a problem; I have two mac minis (XP on one, Tiger on the other) hooked up to a Gefen DVI KVM, which includes audio switching. Problem is, the internal speaker on the XP machine isn't disabled, so when I switch to Tiger, although my external speakers swich to the Tiger machine, I still hear the audio of the XP machine. |
