I recently setup windows 7 on my Mac book pro 13, however I noticed that windows aero doesn't work and there is no sound from the headphone jack. After a lot of searching on the mac/apple forums I finally found a solution that worked Putting it on my blog for self-documentation ...
1) Solution to Aero problem
Insert you "Mac OSX install" dvd. Browse to "Boot Camp\Drivers\NVidia" directory and choose the correct directory depending on your configuration. In my case it was "NVidiaChipsetVista64" and run "setup.exe". Finish the install and after a reboot Aero effects should be working like a charm.
2) Solution to headphone jack problem
Insert you "Mac OSX install" dvd. Browse to "Boot Camp\Drivers\Cirrus" and copy
CirrusAudioVista64.exe to the desktop or any convenient place.
Extract this file using winrar or anyother similar product.
Go to start menu, in the "search programs & files" box type "device manager" and hit enter. This opens the device manager, now go to "sound video and game controller" expand it and right click on "Cirrus logic" and select "update driver software".
Now in the new window that opens click on "Let me pick files from a list of device drivers on my computer".
In the next window be sure to deselect "Show compatible hardware". Then click on "have disk" and then browse to the folder where you extracted the files and select the inf file (for example cs420x.inf). Click ok and when you are back to the window where you deselected "show compatible hardware" checkbox select choose the driver "Cirrus Logic CS4206A (AB77)". Click next and select yes in the following "warning window". Congratulations you are done . ... A restart maybe required.
