You don't want to install the drivers for the real hardware inside a VM. VirtualBox provides a set of emulated hardware to its guests which bear absolutely no relation to the real hardware that the host o/s has control of.

You need to install audio drivers for the virtual hardware that VB provides to your guest.

And those drivers are shipped with Vista by default. If you selected the AC'97 card.
