I had same problem
I think I had the same problem as you. If I selected directSound as my output device it wouldn't playback (no activitly evident on the panel) and if I selected ASIO4all then there was activity but still no sound.
I read this thread and tried plugging in a mic, thinking that there was no chance this was going to work... and it worked straight away with direct sound as soon as I selected the mic as the input device.
surely this is a bug?
