So, I have reset the OS back to factory.
Another whole afternoon spent on this...

However, I copied the whole bb folder back afterwards and I re-installed just the BIAB and Realband application with the 1 .exe.

Now, on the headphone socket:

WhenI connect the amp there, I get asked if it is a headset, headphone or external speakers (Dell dropdown list for speakers).

If I choose headphones or headset, the sound is back to pretty average and quite soft. But absolutely no noise.

If I choose external speakers and ANY in the list, I get better sound and much louder BUT it then has that very low frequency flutter - fan waving in it.
Super annoying and not usable. I will try and get a video of that but it will be hard as it is very low freq.

This is identical with MME and WAS. Audio Enhancements box ticked and unticked.

In both cases, the noise as per the previous videos is now gone.

Far out!

I have not installed anything else like Behringer or ASIO.

No, it is not the mic. i tried disabling that.
