RE: Finally got Windows 10 running on my mac with Bootcamp. Now a few questions
Yeah I would have thought it would have to be a USB a device of some sort as audio not installed is a problem I have with servers being setup but USB speakers work fine for me. -Original Message- From: 'Janina Sajka' via MacVisionaries Sent: Tuesday, 8 January 2019 2:23 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Finally got Windows 10 running on my mac with Bootcamp. Now a few questions The speakers builtin on a Mac laptop will not work in Windows until the drivers they require are installed. That hasn't happened at the point Windows is being installed. In fact, you may find you need to use a USB headphone or speaker, not just some headphone plugged into the headphone jack. That was my situation when I installed Windows under Bootcamp. Once installed you also install the latest Bootcamp drivers from Apple for Windows, and your builtin speakers begin to work as expected. hth Janina Phil Halton writes: > Concerning the use of headphones during the windows installation, is there > any special adaptation for these headphones?

Re: Finally got Windows 10 running on my mac with Bootcamp. Now a few questions
Thanks, Dan. This is a rather useful and important finding. Ordinarily, one would expect using the latest release is the way to go. But, it seems that isn't always the case, as it seems it wasn't this time. I presume that once you installed, you were able to upgrade the the later Windows 10 release? I'm sure Windows would be prompting for that. You and I have relatively similar hardware. Mine is a Mac Airbook from 2014.

Re: Finally got Windows 10 running on my mac with Bootcamp. Now a few questions
Hello, The speakers will not work till Windows is in the final setup faze, where you enter your account name and the like. Yes, you can connect headphones directly to the 3.5 jack. After windows takes over from boot camp, after several minutes, just activate narrator with control command on a mac keyboard or control and windows key on a windows keyboard.

Re: Finally got Windows 10 running on my mac with Bootcamp. Now a few questions
hi windows drivers for the bootcamp system are not included the mac speakers do not work with the generic Realtec drivers that microsoft provides Thus, the installation is not accessible. In the case of a macbook pro with only USB C ports, I have found no way to solve this, as the windows install does not support USB C or maybe it does not support Apple's USB C to USB A adapters. Has anyone found solutions to this? On 1/6/19, Phil Halton wrote: > Concerning the use of headphones during the windows installation, is there > any special adaptation for these headphones?

Re: Finally got Windows 10 running on my mac with Bootcamp. Now a few questions
Concerning the use of headphones during the windows installation, is there any special adaptation for these headphones? That is, is it just a matter of plugging in headphones into your MacBook airs speaker jack, or are they USB headphones of some sort? And, why do we need to use headphones at all? Is it that the speakers do not work during the installation? Please elaborate. Sent from my IPhone > On Jan 6, 2019, at 1:59 AM, 'Dan' via MacVisionaries > wrote: > > Hi Janina and list, > First off.

Re: Finally got Windows 10 running on my mac with Bootcamp. Now a few questions
Hi Janina and list, First off. Thanks about answering the question regarding the product key. That's what I thought but wanted to be sure. Ok, here goes. It's all about the correct iso. I was using the latest iso, the october release. Even though I thought about running the April iso, I didn't My reasoning was that narrator was improved after the April iso. Any way, I spoke with someone at apple accessibility and they looked through many different articles and finally found some info regarding using the April iso instead of the latest image from October. It had something to do with the latest iOS 10.14.2 on the Mac. At any rate, after using the April iso file, I had no problems at all. In fact, I did use narrator with headphones after I got to that point in the installation process. I was able to complete the installation without any sighted assistance. Wow, does windows 10 ever fly on my mid 2014 MBP. Thanks to everyone for helping me. Now, I need to decide where I go from here. Do I want Home addition or Pro? Do I still want to consider a refirbished computer. or, perhaps both. If I decide to use the Mac only, I'll probably get a few items, like a usb hub and some additional audio input/output devices. Again, thanks to everyone. BTW. I was on the phone with Apple accessibility for about 45 minutes. Thanks to them as well.
