[vfio-users] SB X-Fi Titanium passthrough

Hello,
I have a Win7 x64 Pro guest on a Fedora 22 host. Using VFIO-PCI to pass
through my graphics and audio cards. I'm managing my VMs through VMM. It's
been up and running for months mostly successfully except for one stupid
little problem I haven't been able to solve.
I've been attempting to get my Creative X-Fi Titanium sound card working
correctly in the guest. If I let windows use generic drivers, it works well
enough to provide basic audio (occasionally the audio just crashes and the
system has to be rebooted before it works again but that's somewhat rare).
I wanted to install the official drivers to take advantage of the card's
full capabilities (such as surround emulation for headphones).
Once I install the official drivers, the device shows up in device manager,
volume controls are there, windows says the device is working, but audio
doesn't work. Attempting to play a test in the speaker properties results
in an error 'failed to play test tone'. I've gone through all the standard
hints and tips and tricks I've been able to find to get the drivers working
in Win7.
I'm starting to suspect some kind of resource conflict. Sometimes upon boot
after installing drivers my keyboard will fail to function. Boot up takes
much longer than normal as well. In the linux console, I'll see messages
pop up such as "kernel:Disabling IRQ #11". My most recent attempt involved
enabling MSI as described here
http://vfio.blogspot.com/2014/09/vfio-interrupts-and-how-to-coax-windows.html?m=1
thinking it might be related. While the guest OS happily switches it over
to MSI, it doesn't help.
This forum thread shows another person in a similar situation.

I'm pretty much out of ideas. If anyone has anything else I'd love to hear
it.
Including any relevant config info I can think of below:
