Common questions, simple answers
The solution to audio not working in Windows 7 running in Boot Camp is to download and install the latest (2.14) Realtek Drivers. Select the High Definition Audio Codecs (Software) link, accept the license agreement, and after the download has completed run the executable. You may need to reboot your Mac (back into Windows 7) for audio to work.
Thanks BrianSF!

WhenI go to the page in question, the newest version of the drivers that I see is 2.14. I don’t suppose you know of an alternate download by any chance do you?
Kenneth -
Sorry about that, 2.14 are the most recent (at this time) drivers. I’ve updated the post..
The audio does not work properly on my iMac. If I plug a pair of headphones into the back, I can barely hear any sound. Windows does not recognize the amplifier in my iMac. So I either need a pair of USB speakers or amplified ones. Bummer.
I’ve been looking for a solution to this problem for weeks and finally found this post. Thanks!
I have tried this and am still getting a “This device cannot start. (Code 10)” message in the device manager, and no sound. Any ideas as to why/how to fix it?
Hi
I cant get this to work, I have tried the realtek driver thing, but i dont know which driver to install, it doesnt say anything about which driver to download.
I have tried nearly all of them and none seem to do anything…
None of the download links on the Realtek website work. They all lead to either “Safari cannot load this page” or a 404 message… Help?
Here’s what worked for me and my new MacBook Pro (2009). The audio jack was showing a red light in the Vista boot (which meant to me that it was looking for a optical output). The “geniuses” at Mac support told me jam an object in the jack hole as something was stuck (not). The answer: Go to your Windows control panel and open up the Sound driver and select “Headphone” as the default (over speakers). That did it for me, hope it helps someone else.
I can’t get the keyboard, multi touch, or sound working on a 64bit install of windows 7 on my 15 inch mbp. Can anyone out there help me?
Thank you for this. The tip worked for me. At the time I downloaded the realtek driver it was version 2.29. Downloaded it on my vista pc then saved the file on a usb and later installed it on my window 7 running on my macbook using bootcamp 2.0…and it worked!!!! hooray…thanks a lot for a great tip!
A big thankyou to you and BrianSF. It worked absolutely fine. I don’t know about you guyz but here in Britain the download speed of these files were miserably slow (10-15kb/s). I just searched Vista_Win7_R320.exe (the file name of the driver) on torrent and downloaded it in 30 seconds. It is a 34MB file.
now if I don’t die of old age waiting for the file to download. Are realteks servers running dialup?

Install the above driver software and it will work.
how to download and install realtek high definition audio on macbook pro
My sound works but its not clear when its low.
It’s like theres a static sound too, like talking at a really windy beach. I really don’t know how else to explain it.
Hi, I installed the drivers from OS X DVD and I also downloaded the lastest drive from realtek, but I still have no sound on my windows 7. On Sound Control Painel I have this: audio speakers and digital audio (S/PDIF), I have these 2 options before installing drivers from realtek and OS X DVD. After installing the driver, nothing changed. I can volume up and down but I don’t hear anything, I tried using speakers, head phones and still got nothing. Does anyone know what’s wrong?
thx
Worked for me! Thanks!
it workd for me thank you
Ідіть нахуй!!
it seems if you use Safari to download the ZIP file on Realtek,it don’t work.
have do either download on Firefox, or IE, browsers for it to work.
I have done this and now have audio running through my headphones when they are plugged in, but no sound comes through the in built speakers? Whats weird though is that the volume buttons still work and stuff, just no popping sound or audio?
Installed Win7 64 bit, Bootcamp does not support it now to install any drivers from the Mac OS DVD. Installed those Realtek drivers manually and now my sound is pretty bad (far from the Mac OS quality I am used to *sigh*).
I’m not able to download from either of the 3 mirrors it provides. Anyone else have the same problem? How do you download it?
IE would not work for me. Javascript error. I had to open download in Firefox,but now waiting for log download. Will let you know.
6.5kb per sec….
does any body know if windows 7UPGRADE will work on new mac before i buy it or do i need a full version of windows 7??
thanks, new2imac
I am running 7 upgrade, but still cannot get the sound to work. When I expand zip file and exe, win 7 tells me that file is corrupt…
This driver : Realtek High Definition Audio Driver R2.37 just worked for my macbook , bootcamp, Windows 7, 32 bit. Downloaded it fast and free here:

This tutorial is awesome and has worked perfectly for me:
imac 21.5 /w OS-X 10.6 /w magic mouse and wireless keyboard. I installed Win7 Ultimate on it using the tutorial.
The only thing is that when installing Win7, you’ll need to plug-in a USB keyboard and mouse to get thru setup. The issue /w sound applied and the realtek drivers worked well.
Now the only thing left to fix is finding the proper drivers for the apple mouse and keyboards.
The realtek drives do indeed work but the bundled mixer software is so horrible! Is there any way to get rid of this junk and just use the superior Windows 7 mixer?
Hi, none of these solutions worked for me (running 27′ imac core i7 with windows 7 on bootcamp). I was without sound and after using the OSX disc, neither mouse nor keyboard worked. Solution: Using USB mouse and Keyboard downloaded and installed bootcamp software update 3.1 http://support.apple.com/kb/DL996. Everything now works like a charm. Just thought I’d post this for anyone having similar problems.
great and many thanks,i have installed windows 7 and i had no sound,now it works thanks to you.
so the solution is finaly to install realtek driver version 2.4,i run windows under mac os 10.5 AND NOT 10.6 AND IT WORKS GREAT.
PEACE
