[Luke Yelavich <luke.yelavich@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To solve this bug requires knowledge of how the hda chip in these
notebooks is connected. From what I've been told, it is possible to find
out this information by looking at the .inf files for the audio drivers
for Windows. Are you able to possibly obtain this file and put it up
somewhere? This bug may not be the best place, but if you have nowhere
else, you can always zip it I suppose.

If you are not sure where to find the .inf file, you could have alook on
your OS X CD, for bootcamp related executable files. I think these files
can be extracted, and the necessary files obtained that way.

Hope this helps

Luke

Bug description:
Reporting this bug for another user...

In MacBook and MacBookPro 5,1 (aluminium, late 2008) the soundcard works out of the box only with headphones, and to turn speakers on it is necessary to manually set the 6 channels. In that case, sound is heard both on headphones and right and center speaker; the left speaker doesn't work yet.

This bug is confirmed by several users, see the additional information attached.
