I just don't get this. I decided to ditch Snow Leopard on my Mac Mini because it sucks worse than Vista ever thought about and installed Windows 7 via boot camp. Sound worked fine in Windows 7 when it was installed in virtual machine. Now that it is a main OS, I can't get the sound to work. I KNOW what the problem is, just not how to fix it.
The problem is twofold.
1. Windows is refusing to let the Realtek drivers install and instead keeps using it's own driver.
2. The Windows driver only give me audio options of speakers and S/PDIF. speakers option won't work because the audio out jack on the mini isn't amplified so it has to be set to headphones or line-out. That option is not available though.
I tried manually updating the realtek drivers but none of them are working and I don't know exactly what chipset this has, it is a Mac Mini model 1,1 Intel. I even tried installing the bootcamp drivers off of the Snow Leopard DVD and Windows 7 INSISTS on using the MS driver that doesn't work.
Any ideas?
