Multichannel over HDMI: "could not be started on WASAPI using '96kHz 24 bit 6ch'
shAf:
I believe Realtek is associated only with the "other" audio outputs (eg, SPDIF). I believe you'll find that the onboard Intel graphics chipset (and its drivers) are associated with audio over HDMI. What audio devices is Windows showing you? If the appropriate Intel HD audio driver is installed you should see a HDMI audio device, which should also be an option for MC.
HTH :)
JJJ:
As noted below the only listed device that has a jack association of HDMI is "HSRS Intel Display Audio". (All other devices are associated either with the Juli@ card or ATAPI Internal Jack, Front Panel 3.5mm Jack, Rear Panel Optical Jack.)
This page http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dh61ag.html lists the spec of the motherboard. It includes:
"Intel® High Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio) subsystem in the following configuration:
10-channel (7.1+ 2 independent multi-streaming) audio subsystem using the Realtek ALC892* audio codec
Internal S/PDIF header and front panel audio header"
There is a link to http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/standards/standards-high-def-audio-specs-general-technology.html which includes:
"The Intel® High Definition Audio Specification describes an architecture and infrastructure to support high-quality audio implementations for PCs. The specification defines the register-level interface, physical link characteristics, and codec programming model, as well as codec architectural components. This specification is intended for hardware component designers, system builders, and device driver (software) developers. Implementation of the Intel® High Definition Audio Specification requires a license from Intel."
and this page contains the specs http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/standards/high-definition-audio-specification.html
The only multichannel connectivity on the board is the HDMI port.
I would find it a bit surreal if the advertised specs of the board include 10 channel audio but that this isn't implemented for the only multichannel connectivuty on the motherboard. Am I missing something?

Here is a review of the board http://www.missingremote.com/review/intel-dh61ag-media-series-mini-itx-motherboard-and-core-i5-2390t which refers to "8-channel (7.1) Intel HD Audio via the HDMI interface". In the section "Media Performance" I note that the reviewer sees a device which would appear to be his AV processor. My Theta Casablanca III HD does not appear as a device. (It is more than capable of handling the relevant channels, sample rates and bit depths.)
I note the following comment in the review "The Intel Core i5-2390T’s audio capabilities were consistent with the other SNB systems tested--which means full support for multi-channel LPCM and HD audio bit streaming, but continues to exhibit the issue with decoded content over HDMI where six channel files played on a 7.1 configuration improperly map left/right surround audio to the left/right rear surrounds instead of the correct left/right side speakers."
Audio capabilities depend on the processor?
JJJ:
Everything I have read says that there should be a sound device called RealTek HDMI Output. But there isn't. I have reinstalled the RealTek audio drivers/codecs from here http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false more times than I care to remember.

Did the device come with a driver?
