Hello house,

Pls I have a problem. My MacBook Air went bonkers some months ago and I couldn't reinstall the Mac leopard OS after that so went ahead to install Windows 7 on it. Ever since then, I have not had audio on the lappy. I tried downloading Boot Camp 3.1 hoping it would resolve the issue but I got no where with it. Right now I got no clue on what next to do so I'ld really appreciate it if anyone would come up with a solution for me cos it really sucks right now as I use my laptop to watch movies whenever am on the road and you all can imagine what it's like to watch Spartacus without audio. Tongue Cry

Am looking forward to solutions from anyone. Thanks.

@ ZIM DRILL

I would say thanks for your response but I'ld also like you to know that I went through 1 - 150 of All Solutions put up on Apple Support site but couldn't find a solution to the problem. I've actually searched through the support site previously but had to do so again in case I over looked something. I just feel too bad about the whole thing.
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by 4llerbuntu(m): 12:39pm On Oct 25, 2010
@ tipsy, i suggest you try to install the macintosh os back on it!!!

how did you even get windows on it without bootcamp? i dont know of an active hacker movement for windows on mac hardware.

put what was on it back on it. simple. or what was wrong that leopard could not get on it and windows could?

instead of looking for ways to get windows to work, look for how to get the leopard back on it!!!! or is there something you have omitted to tell us? hmmmnn?

My internal speakers are not working, I can't hear any sound from my laptop.

I connected by computer to my TV using the HDMI connection, I set the The computer Sound to come  from The TV, so I think I uninstalled one of the sound system thing  from the computer. It's telling me that no devices are installed.

HELP PLZ!!!


Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for the above enquiry. would  like you to specify make and model operating system
type of the computer. This can be found underneath the laptop on top of a white sticker. E.g. Hp 530 Windows XP

1st Line Diagnostics pending the answers to the above questions
Meanwhile i take it is windows Vista or Windows 7. if it is click start, run and type in devmgmt.msc and press enter
look for sound video and game controller.Any yellow underneath right click on it and update >automatically. Please ensure laptop is connected to the internet. If you know the manufacturer of your computer, could also visit their
website and download require drivers if still no joy after performing the above diagnostics. Good luck

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for the above enquiry and would advice you to run Microsoft Windows 7 Compatability test
to check your computer is ready to dual boot Leopard and windows 7. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=1b544e90-7659-4bd9-9e51-2497c146af15

Dear kevoh,

Thanks for the above. whats the name of your operating system type, for example Windows XP.
Here's your diagnostics in narrowing down the cause. Click start , all programmes , mozilla firefox and
mozilla firefox (Safemode) Tick all the box to reset/loade default settings. This will erase your browsing history
and reset to a brand new state. Good luck

Dear Saylawchar,

Thank you for your recent enquiry and appreciate your explanations. My fellow colleagues
have given you a shortcut key to use so you can paste your capture unto a paint still having
some difficulties with it. Heres' another alternative. click start, all programmes, accessories, accessibility click on screen keyboard if windows xp. [b]Then click Alt+Prtscr key on the on screen keybaord
and make sure what you want to capture is open. for example facebook page

open paint right click then paste or use ctrl +v to paste. IF windows vista type key into the start menu box then click
on screen keybaord follow the above instructions


Good luck

Dear Ogogo,

Thank you for the above enquiry. As the laptop screen flickers this could either be
a software or a hardware failure. Just like a doctor would said, always read the instructions
and follow just as advised. Here's your diagnostics in narrowing down the cause. make sure charger is
plug in to laptop so as to get more power to the screen. turn laptop on, as laptop make and model was not
specify, I would have to blindly flow along. turn laptop on and keep pressing f2, delete or f1 until a screen
similar to the below appears. Observe the laptop on the Bios setup utility. Does it flickers in here. if it does take your laptop a computer centre Engrs for further advice/repairs. Good luck

I dont think you can run any meaningful application on Windows 7 starter. It was designed for very old people or nursery kids for basic internet browsing and learning computer.

Try and get Windows 7 pro or Ultimate.
