Back in april I bough a MacBook to use at home and in the office. I installed Windows Vista X64 via BootCamp to use mostly at work (I do some programing in Visual Studio). I read about the many problems with drivers and was a bit anxious but to my surprise everything except the audio worked. I spent some time trying to resolve the issue, trying all kinds of different driver. Microsoft High Definition Audio (default driver choosen by Vista), Sigmatel and Realtek. None worked. I finally gave up and decided I didn’t need audio support while working in Vista.

Some time went by and I soon realized I really did need audio support. Not so much for the work I do but for listening to music while doing it. So I gave it another try and now I actually got it working. Since my last attempt it seems new versions of the Realtek drivers must have been released and it installed with any fuzz.

So now I’m writing this post so that others in the same situation might find a solution to their Vista X64 audio problems as well. The drivers that finally worked was Realtek High Definition Audio Codecs R1.94 Vista.
