I decided to give the MacBook a reboot and booted back into Windows 10 Pro (Boot Camp). Everything appeared to be fine however, there was no audio. I checked the audio settings in Windows 10 Pro and made sure the proper output device was selected and audio was not muted. I then tried playing audio and video clips and again, no audio.

I then tried Microsoft Teams and again, audio wasn’t working. I did some troubleshooting but just couldn’t get the audio to work. One day, I needed to get on an audio call using Slack and realized audio wasn’t working. It’s a base model 12-inch MacBook with an Intel 1.1GHz Dual Core Intel Core m3 processor with 8GB RAM and 256GB of flash storage currently running macOS Monterey natively and the latest version of Windows 10 Pro in Boot Camp. Performance isn’t great but it gets the job done. I conclude this behavior due to the fact the disk is partitioned in Uefi mode.I’ve been running Boot Camp on my Early-2016 12-inch MacBook for almost two years and it has worked well enough for my specific use case. 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.
