    When I run Windows Vista Ultimate in parallels, no audio hardware is detected. When I run it with BootCamp, I have no problems whatsoever. Any suggestions on how to fix it?

    hi,
    check whether audio device presents and has state connected at your VM (to do this: stop VM and choose Edit->Virtual Machine... from PD menu). If it presents - check whether Parallels tools were installed to your guest Vista. Install them if necessary (to install Parallels tools: choose Actions->Install Parallels tools when your VM started and you logged into Vista)

    I fixed it now. I used XP for years then switched to OS X so I'm not really in touch with how to use windows, but it turned out the audio driver wasn't installed properly, so I uninstalled it in from the device manager and let vista re-install it properly. Thanks for the help anyway.
