I believe the setupapi log is supposed to document how the drivers were installed. I don't understand how to read that log. If someone could look at it and tell me if there's anything out of the ordinary, I would really appreciate it. It was linked to in my first post, and I'll throw it at the bottom of this post as well.

Thanks for your help so far guys,

I've tried 7zip, winrar, and a program called "Universal Extracter" to try and extract the driver files from two different Mac discs, as well as the installer from Apple.com (Bootcamp driver installers 3.1 and 2.1). Those files are available when on the Mac disc . However, whatever program I try to use, I can't seem to extract any files that are useful.

What has been successful has been installing the drivers on both models, and using this tool, , to copy the files the driver uses, and including those files in my driver packs. That worked for all the drivers on both models, except for the sound on the one model I've been fussing about.

I'm starting to believe I have the right driver, but it's failing during the install process. Is there any troubleshooting steps I can take to try and test this theory? Also, I'd prefer to not do any scripting to get the installer to run because I don't want it to run on the model that doesn't need it. If there were a way to script an IF->THEN statement for the installer to run, then I might think about it.

Overflow, I would like to try and manually creating the folder windows/program files/sigmatel, but I'm not sure how I would add an exception to the DriverPacks Finisher to copy the files there. If you could point me in the right direction of how to do that, Id appreciate it.

Sounds good, thanks Overflow and Erik (is that nsanity?)

According to this, http://projectappletree.org/page17/arti … mages.html (scroll to the bottom):

"SigmaTel Audio
I find for some reason, the SigmaTel drivers need to be in the C:\Windows\Program Files\SigmaTel folder instead of the “[what his guide used as the drivers folder]” folder. Its a simple and obvious fix, place the drivers in the SigmaTel folder. "


Sigmatel audio drivers need to be referenced to c:\program  files\sigmatel in OEMPNPDriversPath. I am little confused how to accomplish this to try it because the guide I used uses devpath and makepnf, so any insight would be great. However, Im not too sure how credible that info is, considering it starts that statement with, "I find for some reason..." Also, I don't think there is a "Program Files" folder is in the /Windows folder...

I'm completely stumped with this problem, so now I'm just trying anything I guess.

Thanks,

nsanity, thank you for your suggestion... Unfortunately that did not work. I tried both uninstalling via the device manager, and entering those commands in a cmd prompt box, restarting after each try... Still no luck. (I also changed the HWID in the command to match mine, obviously.)

Overflow, thank you for the encouragement. However in my first post I did have a problem and I would appreciate some help with my sound problem described above.

Thanks in advance guys,
