I heard this is a common problem. I found by accident when googling
something else that most software for broadcasting or more pro audio won't
run in Vista, or probably 7. I wonder if this is how HD radio will be forced
to not take off. There must be something XP does that this stuff depends on,
but I don't know what it is.

Subject: What audio recording devices are fully supported in Windows 7?
Hello,
Windows 7 had a public beta, gained lots of user acceptance, and was
released
a few days ago on Oct 22 to the general retail public.
I have an audigy 2 ZS platinum. It is a PCI card with a front panel
breakout for midi, 1/4 jack in, headphone jack and such. Worked
well in Windows XP.
On Windows 7 the recording support isn't there. There is no level control
or inputs recognized by recording applications in the "stable" driver,
and strange distortion and massive latency in the latest beta driver.
Creative's web site doesn't acknowledge that Windows 7 has left
the beta stage behind. Reading the forums, I can't see an alternate
product designed for recording work, from Creative,
which is working OK in Windows 7. Creative's FAQ and such
on Windows 7 has not been touched since March 2009
(as of this writing).
I've checked websites at Tascam, Roland and E-MU (division of Creative).
Many products only support Windows XP. That version of WIndows has
entered the first stage of deprecation by Microsoft. Updates are made
for WIn XP only once per month now. The security model on XP is
also weak. For these reasons I'm wanting to move along to a better
supported OS.
Does anyone have suggestions on a good PCI card based product for
1/4 inch jack recording work having Windows 7 support?
Firewire might be another alternate. I've tried USB powered devices
like M-Audio and I'm not impressed with the signal to noise ratio.
