Solution - Audio problem in bootcamp (XP Pro SP3)
I tried for weeks to fix my audio driver. I tried installing the sygmatel driver and even downloaded the realtek driver of the site. Nothing worked until I got the same problem with my EEE PC 4G. The recommeded a windows update and it worked. I tried it on my macbook pro (oct 15 2008 edition) and it worked.
The update is KB835221 and you need request it from microsoft. Once installed, it will let you install the sygmatel driver. I uploaded the english update to a server (don't recommend it if you OS is other than english):
