Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard disc will have Mac drivers which are not compatible with Windows 7. Contact the sound card manufacturer to obtain the Windows 7 Compatible drivers. If you have the Realtek sound card on your Macbook then you need to download the drivers from the website below. Windows 10 had installed some default drivers but the volume control didn't have any control over the speakers plugged into either the front or rear audio out. Downloading the Realtek drivers direct from this site fixed this though. After installing the drivers, the names of the audio out devices changes on the volume control too.
