UPDATE.
I now have sound YeeHaaa
Oh Happy Day
I did as I was told and ditched the asio4all completely. disconnected then reconnected everything and for the time being I also ditched the StudioMix mixing desk as it seemed to be confusing the issue.
As for them there tutorial thingy's. Bloody good them aint they? lol
Anyway. no more running before I can toddle, reading then re-reading is the order of the day.
Many Many Thanks guys for your advice and patience, you saved this balloon-head from packing it all in and taking up knitting.
Stay safe y'all
