Hi Gary. Sorry you're having trouble. Let me comment on the first of the three issues. A few years ago BIAB started defaulting to the WAS driver for audio, and I know in my case, my Focusrite sound card that I had at the time choked on it (my current Presonus card does work). I could select the Focusrite ASIO driver, but I normally saved that for my DAW and just chose MME as the audio driver in BIAB. So, try that - either ASIO or MME in Options, Preferences, Audio, but since it's possibly a Sound Blaster I would try MME first.

Write back and see if that helps.
