Hi.. just registered to say i got this problem with the megalodon fixed by updating the firmware.
So.. if you still have problems with vista 64bit or win 7 64bit and want to use the megalodons without sound disappearing please update the firmware from razers site. it's from 26th or 27th October 2009.
The instructions on the firmware update are hard if you have UAC off. to update with it off place the headset into the USB after uninstalling the headset from sound devices with the middle button held down. then go into devices and printers you should see razer megalodon as a problem device. select with right mouse button, properties and update the drivers manually with the firmware downloaded from razers site. when successful the 7.1 and 2.0 lights should flash left right left right etc.. then just unplug and replug and it works.
Had sound on for more than 24 hours and it didn't disappear.
now i'm happy to have sound through them as they should work.

EDIT: Should have waited a few days and tested properly by gaming. sound issue still there after new firmware. need to get a pci-e soundcard to replace the onboard. sound got cut off again after gaming an hour.
