I forgot to mention that how you format each partition initially matters too.

*AFTER* I already setup Windows, I downloaded Boot Camp drivers online and installed them simply as drivers. Since this can be a specific issue, I would recommend these fixes for the MacBook sound not working in browsers.

I found the app quite cumbersome, not to mention it wouldn't offer Windows 10 anyway on this machine. Part 4: How to Fix Sound Not Working on MacBook Browsers There are times when users only encounter no volume on MacBook Pro while playing audio on a web browser. Lastly, I didn't bother to run the Boot Camp app under macOS to facilitate the installation of Windows. Since Microsoft would terminate the support for Windows 7 in early 2020, if one is building a system now, he should avoid Windows 7, not to mention Bluetooth is broken. The built-in audio jack works under both Windows. By the way, Bluetooth audio streaming never worked under Windows 7 on this machine no matter what I tried. If you are on Windows 7, the driver version is.

It goes without saying that one must install the Boot Camp drivers for many functions to work under Windows on this machine.

High Sierra being a newer OS is not as backward compatible as Lion.Īfter the dual boot system was setup, I upgraded Lion to High Sierra without causing any problems for Windows since the update didn't reformat the disk and thus still the same system partition prepared by Lion. Not just installing Lion over a disk partitioned by High Sierra, but have Lion format the disk too.Īlthough Lion prepared a GPT disk just like High Sierra, it is obviously that the two GPT disks are NOT exactly the same! A GPT disk formatted by Lion is compatible with a Windows' MBR partition! My anecdotal observation is that with Lion as a circa 2011 OS, it is more compatible with the legacy BIOS mode. This suggests we cannot have a dual boot system of Windows 10 and High Sierra on this particular Mac!Īfter trying many alternatives, eventually I got it to work!!! Instead of installing High Sierra first, I got it to work by installing Lion first. The selected disk is of the GPT partition style." If I wiped the disk clean and installed High Sierra first, then the Windows installer would complain "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It appeared when Windows was installed in the legacy BIOS mode, it formatted the disk to MBR, but macOS was expecting GPT. If I started out with a blank HDD/SSD and installed Windows first in the legacy BIOS mode, when it came time to install High Sierra, the installation would complain "Couldn't modify partition map". Officially Apple does NOT support Windows 10 on this Mac. Windows 10 must be installed in the legacy BIOS mode for all functions to work on a Macbook Pro Late 2011. After days of effort pursuing this problem, here is my solution. This is the reason why restarting the application works.I tried the Cirrus Logic fix to no avail. I Have been having problems with this for the last year or so - Have logged a support request at Apple re bootcamp drivers and have now bought 5 different headsets - Jabra Motion UC - Apple Airpods latest - Rowkin Micro. Certain devices expose the ability to change how it works but the Surface probably doesn't. Headphone - Headset microphone not working on Windows 10 Bootcamp partition Apple Macbook Pro 2016 Audio Device Controller. This is a hardware/firmware/driver feature or setup. The way this is solved in other devices is that when you plug in headphones, instead of showing up as another device it takes over the audio stream from the speakers and sends it to the headphones. However, since the application was programmed in a way to only look for the audio device when it starts and more than likely does not repeatedly check for another audio device it will continue to send the audio out of the device it first chose when it started. I have not seen it first hand but by what everyone is describing, when you plug in your headphones, it adds a second audio device which then becomes the new default audio device. This happens because when you first opened the application, it picked a sound device to send the audio out of.
