  3. Open Disk Utility, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder.

Install the Windows support software

After downloading the Windows support software to your flash drive, follow these steps to install the software. (If you're attempting to resolve issues with a Bluetooth mouse or keyboard, it might be easier to use a USB mouse or keyboard until these steps are complete.)

  2. Start up your Mac in Windows.
  3. From File Explorer, open the USB flash drive, then open Setup or setup.exe, which is in the WindowsSupport folder or BootCamp folder. When you're asked to allow Boot Camp to make changes to your device, click Yes.

If you can't download or save the Windows support software:

  • If the assistant says that the Windows support software could not be saved to the selected drive, or that the USB flash drive can't be used, make sure that your USB flash drive has a storage capacity of at least 16GB and is formatted correctly.
  • If the assistant doesn't see your USB flash drive, click Go Back and make sure that the drive is connected directly to the USB port on your Mac—not to a display, hub, or keyboard. Disconnect and reconnect the drive, then click Continue.
  • If the assistant says that it can't download the software because of a network problem, make sure that your Mac is connected to the Internet.
  • Make sure that your Mac meets the system requirements to install Windows using Boot Camp.

If a Mac feature still doesn't work after updating the Windows support software, search for your symptom on the Apple support website or Microsoft support website. Some features of your Mac aren't designed to work in Windows.

Try these fixes

You may not have to try all these fixes; just work your way down the list until the problem goes away.

Fix 1: Check sound on different apps

Make sure you play sound on different apps (say Youtube, iTunes, Spotify etc.). Check if it's only on one app that you have this no sound problem:

  • If yes, then that particular buggy app is to blame. Update/delete the app should have smoothed out the problem.
  • If no (no sound on ALL apps), then move on to Fix 2.

Fix 2: Disconnect external speakers

Sometimes you can't hear any sound from your Mac because it sends the audio to its external devices, such as headphones, TV, etc. Unplug all of them and check if you can hear the sound. If no, go with Fix 3.

If the volume on your computer is set mute or too low, you won't be able to hear the sound. To make sure you have turned up the volume:

1) On the dock, click the System Preferences icon , then click on the Sound icon.

2) Click the Output tab > Internal Speakers. Move the Output volume slider all the way to the right and make sure the box before Mute is unchecked.

3) Check if you get sound back on your Mac.
