HP P7-1174 Pavilion Home Edition PC audio

Question

Greetings,
I thought I'd already posted this, but apparently not. I'm not familiar with this forum, so I apologize if I had.
I have a new Windows 7, HP P7-1174 Pavilion Home Edition PC. It comes with “Integrated IDT 92HD89E Audio, Built-in High Definition 7.1 channel audio, Audio codec: IDT 92HD89E “.
I’ve had a long relationship with a top-notch audio recorder/editor application, GoldWave (http://www.goldwave.com/). GoldWave has come out with a 64-bit Windows 7 application that has major audio problems on my PC. GoldWave insists the problem is with the IDT driver. I've been working with GoldWave for two weeks, but they can't replicate the problem - they're using a SoundMax driver for their testing because IDT bought SoundMax - no. seriously.
I got a reply from my support-request at IDT, and they said nothing was wrong with their IDT chip or software. They told me they use Adobe Audition audio editor for their testing, but I want to get some input from HP before I try that.
I installed a Spectrum Analyzer on my PC, and it displays the audio just fine and has normal level/volume control.
I don't know what to ask for in the way of support here. I can't believe that HP would come out with some esoteric audio system that won't meet the audio-editor market's requirements. I'm certain my P7-1174 will handle any audio recorder/editor I install on it. I have seen some comments about audio software requiring a sound card (which doesn't use the IDT chip or software), but I shouldn't have to do that just for GoldWave. I'd appreciate any experience, insight, or suggestions as to how I can approach getting a firm confirmation that the P7-1174 will work with any audio recorder/editor installed on it. What would be nice is a specification of what the P7-1174 audio system meets/expects.
Thanks
