Kodi crashes upon changing audio output settings

Hello, just received new computer (Windows 10) in mail. Installed Kodi for first time, and found it crashes whenever I change audio output device settings or play any video. I searches the forum but didn’t see anything that would help. Uninstalled/reinstalled fresh Kodi 17.0 several times as well as Realtek HD audio driver (Realtek_Audio_Driver_Win7-81-10_V6017960) on ASUS site with no success. Motherboard is ROG MAXIMUS IX HERO. Trying to switch between SPDIF or HDMI Audio outputs, or even use passthrough on either one of those. Changing to anything other than directsound:default results in fatal crash. If I don’t touch the audio settings but try to play a movie, same result. I don’t think this is a bug but rather something on my system because it occurs with 17.1 as well as 16.1 and others would have reported a similar issue (I don’t see one on the bugtracker). Debug log is attached in zip file along with kodi log and stacktrace. Any help is much appreciated as I heard Kodi rocks!
