Rather than a bunch of posts, I will try answering all here.

Yes, although thanks for reminding me because that was before local audio sorted itself out, I will revisit that.

Yes, that was what was originally being used up until last week when I installed the manufacturer drivers. I've done a bit of searching and it seems there are others out there who are also having issues with streaming audio in chrome.
I appreciate all your tips and advice in helping me sort this out. I am not sure if I will ever be able to nail it down and say 'this and this' was the issue, as per previous posts, local audio started working correctly of its own accord - the magic of Windows! I know there were no updates as I had them paused for 7 days. To quote Dire Straits... It is a mystery to me, the game commences.

I think it's not a bad idea to reinstall windows...
because...
win 10 is an unpredictable software
also for example I had a problem with slow glitchy video playback on a fresh win 10 (with video drivers of course...)
by installing the k-lite codec pack I fixed it. maybe you should try it too. And only then reinstall windows..
if you have lags in google chrome, you should remove all extensions, remove and install chrome again, and then add the extensions. It has or at least had a bug with installing extensions after an update or maybe not only

It contains multiple GPU settings.

No longer is it necessary to to a complete re-install with Win10. You can now re-install only the OS, while leaving your apps, data and config intact: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...1-c4baa2a6190a
This feature alone sold me on Win10.

Just wish I'd known about it the last 3 times I did a full re-install this year! What an enormous waste of time.

As it is a totally new/fresh install I am not keen on going down that road, although as Fox said it is reasonably easy to do.
Video's play fine, the problem is solely audio related.
KLite, that one escaped me, I did forget to install that. I will do that and see what gives.
As for extensions in Chrome, there are none, don't use them.

I am in the middle of a total reinstall & let me tell you when you have a TON of plugins, it may be easy but it is lengthy and frustrating. Mine was because MS messaged me to say that my current version of Win10 Pro was about to go out of service after just a year, so I decided to upgrade. After a day or two of interacting with MS Support, who basically wound up with "we got nothing" I decided to reinstall clean on a spare HD, get it going & then clone it to my actual OS drive.
What a pain!

Also just came across this, which works great and even improved performance on my already massively tweaked system:

NOTHING!
And I have a perfectly performant working DAW system (not to mention a DEV machine and god knows what else with roughly 300 apps installed).

It's not my imagination karbo...I did latency tests throughout the process. Though I know all too well the price of over-tinkering...
I think you might just be lucky.

It shouldn't need massive tweaks, massive tweaks really means "spray and pray". Why? Because it goes like this..
"I'm having problems".
"Well I heard doing x/y/z may help"
"OK did that, didn't help"
That is a terrible methodology, just terrible.

I have to agree with Karbo here. I am not keen on 'tweaks', if I do try a 'tweak' someone has suggested, once I confirm it hasn't done anything for me I always set it back to it's default state.
You can spend hours chasing around all the tips and tweaks on the net to find most don't work, and probably had no relation to your actual problem in the first place.
It is very easy to write overly technical shit on the net and pass yourself off as an expert, but very few are. Need to be careful what you change.

Does everything work fine when using on board sound rather than the Focusrite?
And, do you have reaper open when you're having problems with chrome, or does it happen with reaper closed?
Regarding tweaks: Stuff that works now might not work in future versions of windows.
Like recently when people who had manually disabled bing search in cortana, who ended up with the cortana process using half their CPU power after updating to 1903, which assumed it would be turned on, and failed badly when it wasn't.

I have on-board sound/video disabled in the BIOS.

Both.

I did think (now mistakenly) that the streaming audio issue was related solely to Chrome, but alas in Edge the other night I had issues with streaming audio again, but it has righted itself again. How?? - don't ask, no idea!
At this point everything works hunky-dory except streaming audio (mostly in Chrome, now and then, as above Edge spits the dummy to). So I guess it is a matter of waiting until an update of Chrome rolls over the horizon and seeing if that makes any change. If not, then back to hunting.

Well, if you re-enable it and everything works fine playing audio through it then you've at least narrowed it down to something to do with the focusrite interface and/or how it interacts with the rest of the system.
At that point you at least know that your system setup, and OS version, and software are capable of playing streaming audio properly, just not with the focusrite.
