Hi all, I believe that the problem is not loosing sound in the VM, but on the Windows side in a Boot Camp partition. I have set-up several 13 inch Macbook Pro and invariably experienced the problem of loosing sound on the Windows side. Last time, we were thrilled because we got sound to work, installed all the software and then imported the Boot Camp image into a VM and this process when flawlessly; however, the next time we booted to the Windows side of the dual boot, sound was gone. Sighted assist found that nothing was muted and volume was at 100 percent. Reinstalling drivers from the Apple OS CD did not resolve the problem. On calling the support departments of both OS's, Microsoft blamed Apple, Apple blamed Microsoft and the customer decided that working in a VM was best anyway. Interestingly as David observed, plugging in a cheep USB sound card works great on the Windows side of a dual boot system, but what a drag to have to resort to this.
