[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1056728, member: 38864"] Hmmm. According to [URL="http://forums.macworld.com/index.php?/topic/123748-everything-but-the-sound/"]this discussion[/URL], simply disabling the ATI HD rear audio should have worked. Is this exactly what you did? What does the Device Manager show? You may want to check for an updated driver for the Cirrus Logic HD (if that's what is still enabled). Also… what output is selected for the sound output (line out vs internal speaker vs digital out, for ex)? I'm not sure what options you should have, or where it is to check for it in Windows (been a while since I've really messed with Windows). My chief concern offhand is that it sounds bad because it's using the "internal speaker", which on a typical desktop computer (like my Mac Pro) is a tiny little one for startup chimes, error beeps, and the like. I'm assuming the iMac has that in addition to the built-in higher quality ones you'd normally want to use. [/QUOTE]
