Just installed Vista Ultimate. It's certainly shinier than 2000.

The problem: My FusionHDTV 5 RT Lite passes analog audio to the "CD-in" socket on the mainboard via a cable.

By unhiding the missing inputs, I find that "CD-in" is now considered a "recording" input rather than a "playback" input (it appeared with the other sound sources in Win2000).

This means digital TV works fine, but analogue has no sound.

This is with the standard drivers for the HD Audio Device. If I install the Realtek chipset's vendor-made drivers, I get an ugly 'unsigned drivers' warning have some awful compatibility issues with FusionHDTV-- it must be run in compatibility mode and as administrator, and fails to switch to analogue channels at all-- so it's not a solution.

I could probably just plumb the audio-out cable of the Fusion card to a sound-making-device physically, but this is clearly a software concern.
