Vista - Problem With Windows Vista Build 5384.4 & Realtek ALC882 HD Audio

I have an Asus P5WD2 Premium motherboard that incorporates the ALC882 HD
audio codec, i have tried installing the last (5254) and latest (5265) beta
drivers downloaded from the Realtek website for Windows Vista Beta 2 Build
5384.4, i have also tried the Windows XP drivers from Realtek (1.37, 1.38 &
1.39).
The problem i am having is when i install any of the ALC882 HD drivers my
USB keyboard locks up (stops responding) at the Windows logon screen, even if
i restart the system, also my USB mouse sometimes (not all the time) has the
same problem.
If i restart the system in to safe mode my keyboard works fine but stops
responding again once i boot back in to normal Windows mode, if i disable the
Realtek controller from device manager in Windows safe mode then my keyboard
starts to work normally again, this issue is not pressent with Windows XP
Pro/Home, this is a Windows Vista only issue.

Can anyone please shed some light on this issue and also is this a known
problem withe Windows Vista Beta 2 and the Realtek ALC882 HD Audio or is it
just me having ths problem?

I have listed below any system specs that may be relevent, bios version, and
drivers that have been tested to try and solve this issue.

Asus P5WD2 Premium (BIOS 0709) (INTEL INF 8.0.1.1002 & MICROSOFT VISTA
DRIVERS)
Intel Pentium D 930
Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X1024A-5400UL (TOTAL 2.00GB)
BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC 256MB (NVIDIA VISTA 88.61 & MICROSOFT VISTA DRIVERS)
Western Digital Raptor WD740GD X2 (MICROSOFT VISTA DRIVERS)
Plextor DVDR PX-716A X2 (MICROSOFT VISTA DRIVERS)
Saitek Eclipse Illuminated Keyboard USB (MICROSOFT VISTA DRIVERS)
Logitech UltraX Mouse USB (MICROSOFT VISTA DRIVERS)

Thanks for any help anyone can provide.

Personally, I think you need to spend some more money on your computer!

It is too bad you did not try the audio drivers with the basic Vista drivers
for your USB and mouse and such. Maybe it would not have conflicted with
those. Does that motherboard bios have any type settings for resolving
conflicts? Maybe booting a few times with the bios set to "No PnP OS
installed". With Vista, this type of thing may not help, but who knows.

I did try the basic vista beta drivers but only the front panel audio would
work, rear panel wasn't detected at all using the vista drivers, also there
was no conflicts untill i install the realtek drivers.

I also forgot to mention that i never use any drivers for my keyboard or
mouse, the Windows drivers seem to do a good job as they are.

Please file this with MS via the feedback link. Yes there are many issues
with audio and usb both remaining in Vista. Even if everything was working,
the fact that you are struggling with it is significant feedback.

I can also certify that i had the same problem when i tried those drivers.
I have a p5gd1 mobo with usb mouse and keyboard. To get back up i had to
boot in safe mode, remove those drivers, then reboot back into normal mode
and let vista install it's own drivers. The vista drivers only give me my
front speakers too, no sub or rear sound at all.
