That wouldn't surprise me.
Surprisingly Windows audio stack is a mess. I have a mini keyboard with Bluetooth and it was an adventure to get it working in Windows. In Linux it was pretty much plug and play.
Low latency audio drviers are also messy in Windows when not using an audio interface with well written ASIO drivers. Pipewire in Linux is much easier to configure. Looks like MacOS also does not have this driver problem.
It is surprising. Because most audio plugins and DAWs support only Windows and MacOS.
If you are using Windows professionally for audio, you will be using ASIO. So in practice, this is not really a problem. Especially considering that ASIO drivers often even perform a bit better than their CoreAudio counterparts and don't have hidden doublebuffering.
macOS also seemed or seems to have quite a few problems with DriverKit USB drivers for large channel count interfaces.
