I think you have the problem, that Linux loads a firmware which are 
incompatible with your Windows driver. Try to turn off the Hauppauge 
before boot into Windows. I'm using both Ubuntu (pvrusb2) and Windows XP 
with my device, but have to restart it when going from Ubuntu to Windows 
XP, from Windows to Ubuntu - no problem because pvrusb2 re-load the 
firmware. The firmware does not replace or are saved in the device - 
both Windows and pvrusb2 load the firmware when starting. When I 
disconnect it, turn it off and on and then connect it with running 
Windows XP, I get 3 audio messages, 1) for USB connect, 2) for Windows 
driver load firmware and 3) for device ready to go (firmware is loaded 
and device ready).

Hope this help
