Using Windows 10 on a Mac computer is easy than most people give it credit. Then again, it doesn't mean that that it doesn't come with particular problems of its own. Sometimes boot camping Windows 10 on the Mac computer could result in audio or sound issues. However, there are multiple methods to solve it, and we will show you four of them in our guide.

Bootcamp Windows 10 No Sound. How to Fix It?

Apple allows its users to install Windows 10 if they feel like using the operating system through a utility called Boot Camp. It conveniently lets the users switch between macOS and Windows, which is not available on a Windows PC. Though sometimes, this sudden switch of the operating system could result in specific hardware issues within the Mac, such as the sound problem. However, the Boot Camp no sound problem could be easily solved with the four methods listed below, and we will discuss all of them in our guide.

Method 1. Update to the Latest Version of Boot Camp:

You may very well have an outdated version of Boot Camp installed on the Mac computer that could be causing the inability of the device to produce sound. It is wise to install the latest version of Boot Camp on the system, and here is the method to do that:

• From the Apple official website, go to Boot Camp Support and click on 'Downloads;'
• Find the latest version of Boot Camp and click on 'Download;'
• Now follow all the instructions stated with the interface of the Boot Camp utility and finish the installation;
• Restart your Mac computer once the installation is done.

Method 2: Install the Newest Version of your Audio Drivers:

If the sound on your Mac isn't working, then it may very well be due to the outdated version of your Mac's audio driver. You can fix the issue by quickly installing the latest version of the audio driver by following the instructions stated below:

• Open the Windows OS on your Mac and open the default browser;
• Go to Apple Support and search 'Downloads' from the search bar;
• From the 'Downloads' page, type 'Boot Camp Audio Driver' from the search bar;
• Click on the driver for Windows and download it;
• Locate the driver on your Mac and install it by following the built-in instructions;
• Restart your Mac after that.

Method 3: Download and Install the Latest Realtek Drivers:

Realtek is a convenient sound enabling company that helps in providing drivers for your Mac and Windows. The recent switch to the Windows OS on the Mac could disrupt the performance of the driver, and you would have to download and install the latest Realtek Driver on your Mac. Here is the method:

• Learn some information regarding the Realtek driver from the device manager of Windows before going to the Realtek Download Center from your browser;
• Type 'Drivers' on the search bar and enter;
• Locate the intended Realtek driver for your Mac and click on the 'Software' tab in front of the driver and download it;
• From your Mac, locate the driver, install it by following the instructions along the way;
• Restart the Mac system.

Method 4: Repair the Boot Camp Drivers:

There is a chance that the drivers of Boot Camp may be faulty. Despite, all of that, you could quickly fix the drivers by following the steps below:

• Boot into the Windows OS from your Mac and insert the Mac OS installation disk;
• Open the disk's folder and locate the Boot Camp folder;
• Double-click on 'setup.exe' and click on 'Repair' to initiate the process of repairing;
• Once the repair is done, restart your Mac and check whether the sound is working or not!

Classic Mac Pro 5,1 (or simply cMP, also 4,1 upgraded to 5,1) is now considered by Apple as vintage. It’s pretty disappointing considering how capable and upgradable these machines still are. Installing Windows is no longer officially supported, but it’s completely possible though not quite easy.

Another challenge is that macOS Mojave 10.14 now implies using Metal-capable GPU while most of them are not able to display Apple boot menu (which you normally see holding the Option key) required to boot into Windows. Basicaly your screenremains black until macOS is loaded. Well, some EFI bootable cards that support boot menu exist but they are released almost 10 years ago and are really outdated. What is more, none of them supports displaying of boot menu with 4k 60hz monitor connected.

This guide is for those who want macOS Mojave + Windows 10 + modern GPU (in our case Sapphire Radeon Pulse RX 580 8GB).

Installing Windows 10 in 5 steps

It’s supposed that you have the latest Boot ROM version 144.0.0.0.0. If not, please update first.

Step 1: Use separate drive for Windows

Boot Camp Assistant no longer supports cMP and doesn’t allow creating a separate partition for Windows.Windows has to be installed on a separate drive, which is good actually to avoid messing with partitions in future.

We recommend using the internal SATA II connector in one of four drive bays or alternatively one of two SATA II connectors in the optical drive area. Using the HP 654540-001 3.5” → 2.5” adapter (7$) to place 2.5” SSD in a drive bay can be quite convenient.

Of cause, SATA II (up to 300MB/s) is a bottleneck for modern 2.5” SSDs (up to 550 MB/s where SATA III is preferable) but real life experience shows that the difference is hardly noticable unless you deal with lots of big files (e.g. >1GB where sequential read/write speeds matter) on your system drive.

We didn’t test using PCIe → SATA III adapter or PCIe → NVMe adapter for Windows partition. Many people reported it was not possible in their case. If you successfully did it please let us know in the comments below or via e-mail.

Step 2: Create a bootable Windows 10 DVD disk

Warning: DO NOT install Windows from a USB flash drive. It has been discovered that Windows when installed in EFI mode is corrupting the Mac Pro’s firmware by signing it with multiple Secure Boot (X.509) certificates. Also, you wouldn’t be able to boot into Windows after selecting its drive as bootable in macOS Preferences → Startup disk. Therefore Windows should only be installed in Legacy BIOS mode from an optical drive.

Make sure that your Windows 10 ISO file fits on the DVD disk, in our case we had to burn Windows 10 1803 ISO (64-bit) to a single-layer DVD+R disc 4.7GB.

Burning a DVD disk under macOS can be done with the following Terminal command:

On Windows we recommend using the free ImgBurn app.

Step 3: Boot from your Windows 10 DVD disk

Turn on your mac while holding the “C” key to boot from the optical disk (if you have PCIe drives installed and can’t boot from the disc, remove those PCIe adapters).Proceed with installation normally until you see the “Where do you want to install Windows” drive selection screen.

Step 4: Format the target drive

Press Shift+F10 to launch command prompt. Type the following commands:

Download Bootcamp 6 For Mac With Windows 10 32-bit

Now make sure to select the correct target drive number N (NOT your macOS disk), after that type:

You should now see your drive as Unallocated space.

Press the “New” button to create necessary partitions. There should be only two partitions (for legacy installation, EFI mode creates four) automatically created:

Select the newly created partition 2 and continue with installation normally. Your mac will be rebooted twice.Every reboot do not forget entering the boot menu (by holding the Option key) and selecting ‘Windows’ boot drive there. When finished, boot into Windows.

Step 5: Install Windows drivers and Boot Camp utility

Windows 10 installs all necessary drivers automatically except Bluetooth and internal speaker. These need to be installed from the original Boot Camp package for MacPro5,1.Download and install 7zip, download Brigadier 0.2.4 app, open Windows command prompt where Brigadier is located and type:

When finished, it will create a folder BootCamp-031-11269, you need to install these for Bluetooth and internal speaker correspondingly, make sure you run the command prompt as administrator:

Now we need newer BootCamp drivers intended for iMacPro1,1:

When finished, it will create a folder BootCamp-041-55643, you need to run this command:

When finished, reboot. We also recommend running Apple Software Update to update Wifi drivers:

You probably don’t want to forget installing our awesome Macs Fan Control app, do you? :)

Switching between macOS Mojave & Windows

When you’re in macOS, use Preferences → Startup disk to select a boot drive:
