Hello - I just got my iMac and installed Windows XP Pro on it (under Bootcamp) --everything works perfectly, the 8800GS is recognized and so on -- but there is no audio, when I go to the sound preference menu it says no hardware installed.

I've installed (manually, via clicking each file) all the drivers on the iMac DVD1 -- and no luck.

Any ideas?

You should just install the Boot Camp drivers included on the Leopard DVD or downloaded from Apple.

The installer on the Leopard DVD (and I assume the one in the package you can download) is pretty intelligent. When I upgraded my iMac to Leopard, the DVD installed all the right drivers for my machine without any hassle.

Just to be sure... to set up Boot Camp, did you use the Leopard DVD that came with the iMac? If it was a disc from another machine, it might not have the right drivers.
