Unable to RenderStream when using SampleGrabber with Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder and Direct Sound Renederer - directshow

Question

I would like to play only audio from video file. For this I'm using directshow SampleGrabber with Major_type set to MEDIATYPE_Audio and DirectSound Audio Renderer.
This works fine for .wmv files. However when I try to play .mp4 files. The RenderStream fails.
I then tried creating filter in GrapStudioNext with following filtet
File Source->LAV Splitter (Automatically load)->SampleGrabber->MS DTV-DVD Audio Decoder->Default DirectSoude Device
The above filter works fine and I'm to listen to the audio.
However when I create the same filter graph manually in vc++. The RenderStream calls fails while connecting source filter to SampleGrabber
HRESULT hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_FilterGraph, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER,
IID_IGraphBuilder, (void **)&m_pGraph);

hr = CoCreateInstance(CLSID_CaptureGraphBuilder2, NULL, CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, IID_ICaptureGraphBuilder2,

if(FAILED(hr))

return hr;
}
Also when I SetMediaType to MEDIATYPE_Video the first chain connects properly. But seconds one fails even after using PIN_CATEOGARY_CAPTURE and MediaType_Audio.
Also the error I'm getting in RenderStream invalid args.
Please suggest what could be going wrong. Thanks in advance.

This is totally wrong. You don't have capture sources at all, so trying to leverage Capture Graph Builder is weak in first place. You don't have a single pin in your graph which is PIN_CATEGORY_CAPTURE and so it fails.
You know all the filters you need to use, CoCreateInstance, IGraphBuilder::AddFilter and IPin::Connect are sufficient for graph building, you don't need capture graph builder here at all.
