Hi everyone,
I do realize that the audio for the windows 7 beta is not supposed to work "out of the box" on a MBP, but I can not seem to get it to work even after I installed the drivers from the OSX install disk. The only progress I saw from installing the drivers is that now the F11 and F12 keys change the non existent audio level. However, the extremely weird thing is that the audio BARELY works when plugged into headphones. Meaning that the sound is extremely faint. The audio does not work at all on the MPB speakers. Is anyone having this same issue? Thank you for your help.

I think it has to do with apple not releasing drivers for win 7. I would not expect as much until closer to the launch date.
