What is important is to check "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device" and "Give exclusive mode applications priority" in the Windows sound settings under "Advanced". This is likely the cause of the error in the log posted above (against forum etiquette!).
On my rig, even with those options selected I only ever got stereo until I went in and configured the WASAPI driver for 5.1.
Probably a driver bug, but from what I see reported, others have to do the same to get 5.1 working properly.
