Update: Added MacBook Pro files, new file is here:
http://www.wiredbynature.org/temp/speakerfix2.zip
I am in need of beta testers! I have a small package that contains an audio fix for Boot Camp - it disables the internal speaker on the Mini and MacBook. I need information and tests run on the following machines under XP/Boot Camp:
-Intel iMac
-Intel Mini
-MacBook
-MacBook Pro 15.4"
-MacBook Pro 17"
Here is a link to the file: (use at your own risk, please read the instructions!)

I also need information regarding the registry file. I know that it is different on each type of computer but I'm not sure if it varies from machine to machine of the same model. In Windows under Boot Camp go to Start > Run and type in "regedit". This will bring up the Registry. Navigate to the following entry:
1. My Computer
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3. SYSTEM
4. CurrentControlSet
5. Control
6. Class
7. {4D36E96C-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
* #7 is about 1/3 of the way down, make sure it matches EXACTLY
8. 0005
9. Settings
10. GPIO
In the right pane of the GPIO folder, there should be 3 entries that look like this:
(Default) | REG_SZ | (value not set)
00 | REG_BINARY | 85
01 | REG_BINARY | 85
That is what it looks like in my Mini. Please confirm that this is what it looks like in XP under Boot Camp on your Mini, iMac, MacBook, or MacBook Pro. The registry hack simply flips the "00" entry from "85" to "05" for the Mini and from "85" to "15" for the MacBook. I want to verify that the 3 entries listed above are common on all machines. So far the hack works on the Mini and the MacBook; I want to see if it works on the MacBook Pro and Intel iMac. The original thread with this hack can be found over at the onmac.net forums here . I'm simply trying to make a simple package to enable the registry hack.
Please answer the following questions:
1. Which Intel machine did you test it on?
2. Are you using Windows XP Home or Pro?
3. Are the 3 registry entries similar to mine? If not, how do they differ?
4. If you have a portable, did it completely kill the laptop speakers?
5. After applying the hack, did only the headphone/speaker output jack work?
Thanks for your help!
