Here's one thing I ran into after switching from XP to 7.
My "Stereo Mix" option (That's "What U Hear" for you Creative soundcard owners) has disappeared from the sound recording options. Even after ticking the "reveal disabled/hidden devices" thing, it doesn't come up. That means I can't record or stream over (through things like Ventrilo etc.) what I am listening to at the moment on the PC. This was very nice for piping over soundbytes from a tv program I was watching (analog tv card) as well as useful for acting as a bridge between two different voice chat programs.
I suspect this is one attempt to "plug the analog hole". With this method you could record soundtracks off YouTube as the video played for example. There's an anti-feature for you, and it sucks.
