When I installed Windows 7 Beta (Build 7000) on my early 2008 MacBook yesterday, the audio driver did not work. The driver provided by Boot Camp is not the right one. Using the hardware id, I learned that the audio card is made by Realtek. I downloaded the driver directly from Realtek and it worked. Here is the download link. The one I downloaded is Vista Driver (32/64 bits) Driver Version R2.14. Extract the files and run the setup.exe.
BTW, if you are looking for some older versions, you can use this ftp site.
ftp://202.65.194.211/pc/audio/
This is a mirror site used by Realtek. Note that the download speed is kinda slow, so be patient.

The ftp site is protected by password now. It’s not working unless you know the username and password.
Thank you a lot for this post! I’ve looking for this driver on realtek’s site but i’d found It! Thanks!
but not found,sent to me please if you have other link

thanks
thank you
thank you for this post I give it a try.
this link it not working pls can u give me something els ?
heres another solution: just insert your original tiger/leopard install disc. it will say setup.exe. run that. boot camp will install all the right drivers and stuff then it will work nicely.
You, sir, are an idiot.
If you READ the article, you would know that the “right audio drivers and stuff” installed with Boot camp DO NOT WORK. This entire article is about an ALTERNATE SOLUTION to fix the BROKEN BOOT CAMP DRIVERS.
I hope that cleared things up for ‘ya.
Great post! Thanks for your sharing. Any idea with driver for webcam and keyboard for windows in Mac?

Its sad that the download is so slow, someone should upload it to a new server.

The link is working. However, the server is busy. You might want to try it later on if you still cannot access it.
Try the bootcamp update.
