If it's crashing with both dsound and xaudio2 then something is really wrong with your system. You haven't told us what game or what settings you're using.
I'm able to play other PC games and junk just fine, Audiosurf gave me problems initially because I was trying to run it while also using SRS Audio Essentials (the brick hit sounds taking precedence and causing the song volume to temporarily mute) but once I disabled that program, the issue ceased. I'm also able to run EpsXe and plenty of other emulators, indefinitely with no problems. I have a Realtek onboard sound card, so maybe it just isn't good enough to provide audio ram or whatever, though the Realtek card I had on my old XP machine didn't give me this much trouble (just gunna blame 7 again for this because of the removal of hardware sound acceleration).
Anyway, you asked about my settings...

As for "what game" I recall one of the captcha things requiring new members to complete the sentence "Downloading games is wrong," and one of the stickies saying that discussing downloading games results in insta-ban, so forgive me for choosing to omit that information and use vague wordings to avoid naming said games.

Here are my full system specs:
AMD FX 6100 Six Core - 3.30 ghz
(Phenom II, Black Edition)
Cooler Master Gemini II Heatsink
w/ 110 CFM 120mm Cooljag Everflow fan
with another of that fan as the System Exhaust.
16gb, DDR3, XMS3 Corsair ram.
ATI Radeon HD 6870, 1gb GDDR5.
1tb Samsung Spinpoint hard drive, 7200 rpm.
Asus M5A97 motherboard w/ onboard Realtek audio.
(using ov2rey's modded driver for better sound,
the crashes in Dolphin were happening before
I installed that driver, so I doubt that's the cause)
800w Coolermaster Silent Pro Gold PSU.
Windows 7 64bit, running Emerge Desktop Shell 6.0.0.1030
