I am trying to get sound drivers onto Windows 7 part of my Mac

Ok, so I have my hardrive split up. Half Mac OS X, half Windows 7. The Windows 7 part, doesn't have the drivers I need. I can't use the same scroll techniques as on OS X or anything, but my main problem is the sound drivers. I CAN'T GET SOUND! GRR!!! I had a friend tell me to use the utility disk that came with my Mac while I'm on Windows and that should give me all the drivers I need. But I don't even know what the utility disk is or what it looks like! I NEED HELP!!!!! :'(

MacBook, Windows 7

If you used Boot Camp Assistant to partition the drive and install Windows you should visit the Boot Camp forum. Driver installation questions and answers are posted regularly.

https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp

If you are running Snow Leopard the drivers are on your Snow Leopard install disk. If you are running Lion, you download the drivers from within Boot Camp Assistant.

Read the Boot Camp Install and Help guides. http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

If you did not use Boot Camp Assistant I can't help you. Someone else will be along.

In addition after you install Apple's support drivers such as Cirrus Logic Audio (or Realtek) you usually still need to install a driver from the vendor on top of that - if you still have trouble with audio which is VERY common and use to be "normal" (ie, happened to everyone).
