I had another user that had issues with exclusive mode and had found another case where Error is not reasonable.

Steps to reproduce on any Sound Card not just Mid/High-end USB DACs:
1. Right click on Speaker in Tray -> Open Sound Settings
2. Click on device properties
3. Click on Related Settings -> Additional Device properties (On the top right)
4. Go to Advanced TAB
5. Disable all exclusive mode options
6. Start MM
7. EDIT WASAPI settings -> Enable Exclusive mode
8. Try to play any tracks It Fails to play.
9. Press configure and there is no selection of Sound Formats eg. 192/24, 44.1/16, ...

That missing options means Exclusive mode is not available for device and should be silently downgrade to non exclusive mode with throwing "Exclusive mode is not available for device and will be disabled Automatically."
