Restart your system. I saw this message once and only after restarting the pc, the problem solved.

Make sure DirectX is installed on your system. It should be installed by default with XBMC, but if you go to the Windows start menu and select run, then type in dxdiag.exe it will run the DirectX diagnostics and you can check for missing files or a bad install there.
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!
