What API are you using to capture?  It's possible that you're using one of the 
lower quality resamplers in the box (for instance if you're using the wave 
APIs, I believe you'll use the ACM resampler which is basically the same 
resampler used in XP).

While the render sampling rate converter in Windows 7 is very good, the capture 
converter is a different matter entirely. It has conversion artefacts at about 
-65dB on a pure tone. I first noticed this back when Vista was released and 
tried reporting it a couple of times but got nowhere, and the problem has 
persisted into Windows 7.
