If your computer is having problems playing sound, try using the Playing Audio troubleshooter to fix the problem. It checks for common problems with your volume settings, your sound card or driver, and your speakers or headphones.

To open the Playing Audio troubleshooter:

1.       Click the Start button, and then click Control Panel.

2.        In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click Troubleshooting.

3.       Under Hardware and Sound, click Troubleshoot audio playback.

4.       Follow the instructions in the troubleshooter.

    Hi pusfactory,

    I have a MacBook Pro purchased in Fall 2009.  After installing Windows 7 Ultimate I get no sound on the PC OS side of the system.  The headphone receptical has a red light that stays on all the time while in the Windows side of the system.  When I reboot into the Mac OS (Snow Leopard) sound works just fine and there is no red light in the headphone receptical.  Neither Mac tech support nor the Windows tech support have an answer and both point their fingers at the other tech support group.  This is not the kind of technical support that I need to solve this problem!

    First find out what brand of sound card you have and series , you probably need to download new drivers or turn on your vega drivers.
