I remember when XP came out.. there were some of the same problems, especially for those that used their systems for Pro Audio, web sites like MusicXP sprang up, many of the problems were cleared up with SP1, SP2 fixed the last remaining obstacles.

The "M-Audio Audiophile 24/96" card I have installed never had any problems as it's drivers avoid the "enhancements" layer but yet do show up in the Windows mixer.

I'm thinking I got real lucky with XP... I stayed on Win2000 until SP2 came out and bumped head on into SP3 about 3 months later. Never had a single problem with media on win2000, it was flawless from the day I installed it. In fact, if 2000 had support for HD Audio (24 bit) and SATA drives, I'd probably still be using it.
