Third, there is no way to effectively block windows 10 update from clobbering whatever you do - see Brink's tutorial on the subject around the last page or two. nothing works to prevent whatever YOU do from being overridden at some point by reinstallation of a driver that will eventually fail audio.
if the enhancement switch does not produce stability, exchanging the device driver [dev mgr, update driver] to standard MS provided High Definition Device will work, and works well, until Winupdates overrides it again. then you'll need to hit rollback in dev mgr

just wanted to say thankyou for your advice - nothing i do seems to work and if i get sound working - within a few days it disappears again and yes, since windows 10. But i didn't know that so it helps that you've explained what's happening.
i think i will have to give in and try linux etc because i can't beleive how much time it takes now to try and stop windows from taking over absolutely everything. like a desease.grrr
