I've spent hours trawling through version forums to try to resolve my audio issue but I've drawn a blank. I also have the red light in the headphone socket. When I go to Sound, Playback Devices, only Speakers and Digital Audio show up, no mention of headphones. In device manager I've no issues showing with the "Audio inputs and outputs" nor "Sound, video and game controllers". I'm coming from a Windows background so I'm pretty familiar with that side of things. I'm actually running the 64 bit version after reading that it was possible (all I had to do was to modify the Windows 10 install ISO from the Microsoft site on my PC to make it bootable and burn it to a dvd ) and, to my credit it's working really well It's just this one pesky driver. I couldn't get the drivers downloaded through Boot Camp (3.0.4) but I'm now up and running with the exception of the audio. I conclude this behavior due to the fact the disk is partitioned in Uefi mode.It took me quite some time but I finally managed to get my A1181 Macbook 2.1 (I'm running Snow Leopard) to run Windows 10 64 bit today. If I try to install Windows 10, Boot Camp says the OS is not supported. I wasn't able to use Boot Camp and had to prepare everything by hand, since I don't get the option to install Windows 10 from Boot Camp, only 8 and 7. I tried feeding it Intel xHCI drivers with usb keys, it sees the keys but says it doesn't find any driver.

This doesn't happen when installing in Uefi mode. I chose "Windows" for the setup DVD instead of "Uefi Boot" at boot.īut just before the point where Windows usually asks which disk to install on, it actually asks for a missing driver. So I tried to install Windows 10 in Legacy/Bios mode. At least that's what I understood after googling myself to death. I found out audio doesn't work because Uefi Windows 10 installation somehow keeps a Cirrus audio-related device from working. I get the exclamation point on Device Manager and a message saying the device couldn't be started properly.

I have successfully installed it alongside MacOS High Sierra actually, and everything works fine except for audio. It's not officially supported, but I read everywhere it can be done.

I've been trying to install Windows 10 on an early 2011 Macbook Pro.
