I used the Multichannelcheck files at the end of the page that you pointed to. When I run your test program and select output to 'Standard waveout device' I get a 'format is not supported' message. However, if I select output to 'Realtek HD audio output' both the DTS and DD files play fine on my home theatre receiver. I don't speak Swedish, but the narrator moves from channel to channel. The receiver also correctly displays whether the file is DTS or DD.

Ripped CD WAV files give the 'format not supported message for the 'Standard waveout device', but for the 'Realtek HD Audio Device', there's just silence. There are no error messages. The receiver's display is confusing, but it implies that the signal being received isn't a valid s/pdif signal (maybe the WAV file is being dumped to the s/pdif??).
The receiver is connected to the computer via s/pdif (coaxial).
I'm running XP SP2.
