Audio problems with Windows 7 running through Bootcamp

"Rather than try newer drivers from Realtek, I would try using Microsoft's HDAudio class driver. This is a totally different driver than the Realtek driver and so is unlikely to have the same issues. It's written by Microsoft so the quality is quite high.

To install this:

Go to Device Manager
Expand Sound, Video, and Game Controllers
Right-click on your audio device and choose Update Driver Software...
Choose Browse My Computer
Choose Let Me Pick
Select High Definition Audio Device

To be honest though, this sounds more like a hardware issue than a driver issue. If that doesn't fix the issue, try you Mac OS again with the same headphones. Are you sure you can't here it?"

This appears to be a problem with Bootcamp and unfortunately has changed with the new BootCamp update. Just for the record audio playing through Snow Leopard and these headphones is perfect.

set headphones as default in the audio control panel. It should work fine. And when you unplug the headphones it will still play out of the computer speakers.

"Go to Windows 7 search bar

Type audio

Select ""Find and fix audio playback problems

Click Next and and select Speakers

Click Next and this should solve your problem"
