MBP produces hiss sound in bootcamp

uramaru · 02-03-2010, 10:52 AM

My early 08 Macbook Pro is producing a hiss sound everytime I boot up to windows 7. I've installed all the drivers correctly and also the bootcamp update. This is deafening!

Anyone experiencing this kind of issue? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

hmmmm. did you already use the bootcamp drivers found in the SL installation disk? because mine's working perfectly fine

Yup I used those drivers found in the SL disk. I think its a hardware problem.

Anyone out there experiencing this? or just me?

^If it only happens when you run Windows 7, it probably isn't a hardware problem.

This may be a silly question, but have you checked your system volume when you boot?

what do you mean by system volume? i found a fix on this but its kinda lame. I should play atleast 30 sec of a song every time im in win7. but its not permanent the issue still occurs after 2-3hrs.

ok, this is really odd, I discovered the fix. Screen brightness should be either maxed out or dim (like 1 bar before the display turns off). weird.

^Well, with my old Blackbook, if the volume was maxed out there was an audible hiss although I wasn't playing anything. Cool that you got your fix, but that's a strange one

but how come mine doesn't do those sounds..

hmmm, i'll check in awhile though.. will let you know

Better to have this checked by my service provider but not now, maybe after our thesis.
