    might want to try installing the standalone DX9 runtimes (this resolved some issues that cropped up with Vista, but it seemed to carry over to some Win7 installations too if I remember right). Also make sure other components are to the same service level and such for Windows (Windows SP level, .NET, etc.).

    Also make sure you are on the same version level for the sound/video drivers as well as your IDE/SATA and such for the motherboard (have even seen network drivers throw issues at times as well). Sometimes the HD audio bridge is a culprit--you may find a patch from the video card maker for HDMI audio issues, usually addresses such problems. As always, when changing drivers (esp. if reverting to an older driver release), make sure to do a complete uninstall/cleanup of the current drivers, reboot, then install the other drivers.
