I know that.
I power down USB controller and rescan PCI because of resource_allignment and 
I unbind all the devices (USB, VGA, Sound Card) from drivers.
Just sound card didn't work well after this.
Strange thing is the sound was working on Crosshair IV Formula.
I suppose linux driver sets up the card in way Windows can't handle.
Funny thing: sound worked in analog in Battlefield 3 but not plain Win7. No 
single beep from SPDIF. One big WTF?
