I hope you have luck with the fresh Windows install, but what happens behind the scene is XBMC asks WASAPI to initialize the card with a given set of parameters, in this case with an 8-channel, 192khz layout, and a media sub-type of DTS-MA. WASAPI passes this directly to the audio driver (ATI). The driver returns either yes or an error code via WASAPI. Failed to initialize happens if the driver rejects the format as being within it's capabilities per your hardware.
