I did think of that, and unfortunately, that is not the case.  A
couple of the versions of drivers I tried were signed, so that is not
the problem.  At this point I'm not really interested in
troubleshooting that particular card in Windows because I've seen
similar issues with older Creative products on newer versions of
Windows before, and I have little hope of resolving the issue.  And it
seems wrong to ask a LUG for help getting something to work in
Windows!
Thanks for the idea, though.
On the upside, this issue has caused me to re-assess what I actually
NEED to use Windows for, and with a little bit of work, I may be able
to use Windows so rarely that I won't even care if sound works.  We'll
see how that works out.
