Hi Senthil - went through your log and the data (at least as far as shown in the log) is correct - meaning it tries to initialize the card with the correct number of channels, frequency, bitdepth, etc.
First off I would go here and check that you have the latest driver. Pls double-check whether you have the deluxe version or not. The link provided is for the non-deluxe Win 7 x64 driver per your log. Either way compare your driver to the latest revision on the AsusTek page and upgrade if necessary.
If that fails, the issue is just with the ASUS driver, as I can see by the WAVEFORMATEXT data that the WASAPI sink should initialize. I know that the Xonar was pretty closely tied to TMT as a player, and had to match up with specific versions of it. I'm not sure if there is some non-standard handshake that has to occur as apparently happens with TMT/Xonar.
If that driver update doesn't fix it you may have two options: use your I7's onboard graphics or replace the Xonar with a newer GPU w/HDMI. I'd recommend anything recent by ATI - just pick a level based on whether this is a pure HTPC or also a gaming rig.
You may be fondly attached to the Xonar and in the dark ages (a few years ago lol) it was one of the first ways to get good audio from a PC, but this card is a little famous for only working well with TMT for HD audio.
