Windows 7 optimization?

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

Ok so I've committed heresy (as a hard core Linux user). I installed Windows 7 ultimate on the HTPC and installed this program called Foobar2000. I have my FLAC drives connected via NFS to my Ubuntu server and mounted as a drive letter in 7.

Where do I begin with Windows in getting better sound? I use a USB Soundcard which has digital outs (Bel Canto USB Link 24/96). I tried to install the ASIO Foobar2000 plugin but under the output section it was telling me I have no ASIO devices. So I guess I'm stuck with traditional things like setting to real time etc..?

I've completely ignored all Windows posts here being a long time Linux hacker, but since this is 7 I'm hoping there's some new things some have noticed.

Any links or references would be appreciated. Thanks
