Thanks for the swift answer, "Primary Sound Driver" does as you suggest, which is nice. Small problem though as using that driver sync with another player (a picoreplayer based build) is not good . Better than is disappearing altogether. I'm trying the Displayport option as I have just got a laptop that connects to the monitor and charges with USB C - this puts the sound from whatever device I'm using through my speakers.
