I'm looking into this too (since apparently trying to use my
microphone with passthroughed HD audio interface screws things up).
>From what I know, there are no qemu compatible 64-bit AC97 drivers out
there (even the Realtek one which like you said refuses to start).
Likewise for the other audio emulation the xen-bundled qemu provides.
However, in the current qemu release, there is support for Intel HDA
emulation, which 64-bit Windows supports. Unfortunately, the
xen-bundled qemu is heavily patched; so it may take some effort to
transplant the HDA support over, if somebody hasn't tried it yet.
Alternatively, you may use a 32-bit version of Windows, if circumstances allow.
