[Old]may i know where can i get the working driver, trying download through the realtek official website High definition Audio driver, not working one! it can detect and show "This device is working properly", it looks like working fine, but no sound output :s, so weird. i am using Mac mini core duo 1.66ghz version. i got the bootcamp 1.3 but dun have mac os, so not be able to make the driver cd. anyone can send me a working driver thanks a lot! [old]

First thanks to Prasys, coz he suggested to use the "TransMac" software, so that i can solved this problem shortly.

Tools to use :

7zip - http://www.7-zip.org/ Extract .PAX files.

TransMac - http://www.asy.com/ use to extract .dmg format, free trial 15 days fully function.

guideline here:

Open the bootcamp.dmg with TransMac, browse deep on this path below:

Install Boot Camp Assistant.mpkg\Contents\Resources\BootCampAssistant.pkg\Contents

then you will get one file name called Archive.pax.gz , then i used 7zip to extract it, after that i got Archive.pax then use 7-zip extract again, and then browse on this path Archive\Applications\Utilities\Boot Camp Assistant.app\Contents\Resources, then will see a file name called DiskImage.dmg, but unfortunately, i used the TransMac to open it, it cannot show the details, it came out error No Mac HFS volumes found, so i figured out other way, under TransMac i right click the name DiskImage.dmg and select Expand then Save the file name as DiskImage.iso., after that it generated an ISO files. I used nero to burned it to a CD. and insert to my Mac Mini which is runing the windows 7 Operating system, at first i clicked the RunSetup.exe it pop a message said only support on vista or XP. so i right click---property choose compatible to windows vista, and select "Run as administrator" , wow! it's running and all drivers works and sound came out from the Mac mini. if can will try to upload the screen shot for easy understanding. noob in writing guideline, any problem, can discuss over here thanks!

Do you have Snow Leopard Retail DVD or Leopard Retail DVD ? You gotta use Apple's Boot Camp CD to install additional stuff

Boot camp 1.3 is only beta if im not mistaken...not sure if you still can download it. best bet is to upgrade to atleast leopard

actually the mac mini i am helping my friend to re-format, he used the mac mini to installed windows xp, but no sound now, anyone have bootcamp cd? can just upload the sound driver for my mac mini? because i dun have mac os now. thanks. the sound card show in device manager just only "High definition Audio codec" any driver, i tried realktek and sigmatel but still no luck, read from other forum, must use bootcamp cd, no matter 1.3 to 2.0, also can install successful. :S

@hotwebs
Boot Camp is a software that's part of the Mac OS X. So you need either a Mac OS X Tiger or Leopard or Snow Leopard DVD.

doesn't your friend have the original discs that came with his mac mini? that's all he needs.

so you mean you can reformat mac mini entirely for windows?

Is it necessary for us to use Apple Driver for hardware to work in bootcamp?

I use bootcamp on my macbook to boot into windows..there were time when i boot into windows, the sound just won't work..then somehow i realized, i mute the sound in Leopard..so each time i mute the sound in leopard, i must remember to unmute it if i want to boot into windows. if not, the sound won't work even after i uninstall n reinstall the driver.

That's my experience though..a weird one XD

Actually the Mac os already format, and just only boot to windows xp directly, and i need the bootcamp cd driver which created from mac os. i downloaded the bootcamp through internet, but it is .dmg format. windows xp cannot run. and i dun have any friend using mac os. so ask for help anyone can make a driver cd from bootcamp and send a sound driver which supported to windows xp and windows vista.

i was quite surprise how do you actually format mac away and just install windows xp

im not really sure abt ur statement....what do u mean mac os already format? is there a mac partition on it or not? if yes, open the .dmg in OSX and burn a boot camp driver CD. If no....dell just launched a nice small PC similar in size to the mac mini. ask ur friend to buy that

serious, if for me, i wont help him.

i just google around, there is a way to do it. Driver works for this kind of solution.

can u send me the link? because i also tried google it around. but no luck, all driver i downloaded is not supported. now just left the sound problem not fix yet, other working well now.

try re-install yr os..thx

why wanna re-install?

=..=!! looks like hard to get the bootcamp driver from here! T_T , i think i will go to apple store to ask them burn one bootcamp cd for me.

the driver i mention is using the bootcamp one

one thing i can tell you than, apple seller probably will not do you this favour, cuz it seem a very very odd case to us

which mac mini you have problem? what gen?

like I said, the drivers are on the original DVDs. those discs are not for copying ... for any reason.

why can't you use the original discs that came with your mac mini?

so good luck getting any Apple-related store to 'help' you to burn.

Well its not hard to find boot camp drivers. If you want to open dmg , get TransMac , open up the .dmg and go under Contents , Resources and then you'll fnd an iso/drivers, extract it and install that

wow that's amazing! I manage to extract the driver through the bootcamp.dmg by using TransMac + 7-zip, thanks a lot man. I will post the guide tonight! without bootcamp CD there is no drivers can support it. , I am using Windows 7 + plus bootcamp 1.3beta, all drivers working well now!

This is why you'll be needing a hackint0sh guru or someone who has hacked the OS to understand the internals on how it would work. Oh thank the author of TransMac for allowing you to extract that. Good to know that you'll be writing a how-to
