Sorry for reopening such a old thread, but I had the same problem,
and I followed your solution's steps.

Everything OK until I try and disable the devices in multimedia properties -> Playback window.

Even though I disable all the devices I can't head the sound; this is the situation:
- My devs: SPDIF/AC3 Output, Master Mixer, Wave Out 2/3, Wave Out 4/5, Wave Out 6/7.
Any one of them I try to set as default, the meter at its side start signalling some kind of activity, but no sound;
If i try to set as default the first three devices, alternately, an annoying noise start, but no sound, and no music.

Could you help me please? Thank you very much
