Well, That Was A Couple Of Hours Wasted

I'm dealing with mobo sound right now -- it's not bad, but it's not fantastic. So I figured I'd try to reinstall my Rocketfish RF-71SDCD sound card, even though it's known to have problems with Windows 7. Surely they've fixed the drivers by now...?

No, they haven't. And don't call me Shirley.

I will not detail the clicks, pops, stutters, and window-hopping I did, trying to get this stupid thing working. It was great for WinXP, but with Win7/64 it's a bust. Sigh.

Anybody know a good sound card that works well with Win7/64, that's not too awfully expensive? By the time my birthday rolls around, I should be able to get it.

ETA: Well, hey. Now I'd like some personal experience with cards on Win7/64.
