I am running the same config.
You have to do 2 things , which for sure will eliminate most if not all of you hickups.

1. Disable the wireless interface while you are making music
2. Kill the kbdmgr process (this is a big one)

For point 2 i made a little batchfile with the name KBDMGR_OFF.BAT that contains the following.

taskkill /f /t /im KbdMgr.exe

To restart after you are finished with music related stuff simply run kbdmgr.exe (in c:\program files\Boot Camp

p.s. Of course if the kbdmgr.exe is not running your bootcamp function keys do not work anymore for adjusting display brightness etc. Just re-enable / change setting / disable if needed. 2 icons on your desktop for this will make it a simple task.

Thank uuuuuuu glennv ! ! ! ! ! !
