Hi axeman,
I also noticed occassional audio dropouts (about 2 seconds!). I am running Vista 32. I do not think that the problem is related to anything else than buggy/bad drivers. Also I noticed audible changing latencies during playing.
The test of the card by the German Online magazine Amazona shows the same results:

So let's hope there will soon be an update.
