A bit of shot in the dark while I am at work - could be quartz/FilterGraph issue related with ED trying to play startup video and having codecs to do that? It has been issue for Windows in several cases (it needs WMA codec if I remember correctly).
Yes, it is related to the startup/logo clip, it tries to play "Movies/Ident_Frontier_Elite.webm", I'm not quite sure what is going on with the audio, since that clip has only a VP8 video stream, no audio (as reported by mplayer, mediainfo and vlc). There's webmsplit.dll, and vp8decoder.dll in the game folder root (where the EliteDangerous32.exe is). I'll try to find some time to debug it this weekend.
This is the startup clip; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKVO43EWGLg
