Have you installed the drivers? If not, it is likely that sound isn't working because it lacks the proper drivers.
Is the sound device recognized in device manager?

My sound started working just by installing the drivers, which I did by inserting the OS X.5 install CD. When the CD is inserted into a Windows operating system, the Setup program that shows up when you open the CD is designed to install Bootcamp and any relevant drivers on Windows. This should fix the problem, although sometimes there are a few additional fixes needed to get iSight or your Wireless card working.
I would recommend checking out this article: How To: Get Vista Up And Running On Boot Camp | MacApper
Even though it says it is for Vista, it covers how to install drivers off the CD.
Another article that I thought looked pretty good, but I didn't end up needing to use (it is more XP specific whereas I was installing Vista): How do I install Windows XP on my Mac using Boot Camp? :: Free Tech Support :: Ask Dave Taylor!®
