For some reason, every time i relaunch Kodi.. my sound card selection gets lost and i have no sound.. it should be defaulting to WASPI and my receiver name.. instead on each load, it defaults to DIRECTSound..
Does anyone know where this setting is stored.. i thought in roaming \ kodi \ userdata, but i'm not seeing it anywhere?
I'm thinking ill just force a default setting file if that keeps the sound choice on open (batch file).. not my favorite choice but it would work..
Unless anyone knows of a permanent fix here?
Thanks in advance

Turn on your receiver 'first' or prior to Kodi launch and waspi will be maintained, otherwise the default of DIRECTSound will be the default.

Note that I'm not sure if this will help for your specific need, as I'm not sure what will happen if the audio device isn't active when Kodi starts, so there's a risk that there maybe no audio until Kodi is restarted with AVR on, let us know how you get on.

I had similar issue. After upgrading my 3 years old graphic driver my HDMI output was gone. Restart helped but only for one KODI launch. I put back an old driver and now PC Speakers are active when HDMI is not active. When I turn on my AVR, the HDMI (WASAPI) is automatically selected when I launch KODI.

If stays working could you let us know and I'll add it to the wiki for future reference.

Something has gone wrong after a day or so and reopening kodi..
Now it seems to have lost the setting.. though i cant tell for sure.. when i goto audio settings inside of kodi.. nothing shows up, i guess because i have it "forced".. it just says something about defaults on the audio settings page.
I know its not working because bitstreaming stopped working again.
When i goto the roaming\kodi\userdata folder.. it seems that guisettings.xml reverted back to 9/24/2016 rather than the newer date of 3/16 when i switched it.
Something seems to be overwriting this?
edit: correction.. advancedsettings.xml still shows 3/16 and the change i made.. realizing i typed that backwards.. gui goes into advanced..
So it seems the code is still in there, at least in advancedsettings..
But.. if i goto profiles and choose my "admin" one.. if i view guisettings.xml in here, i see a different selection for the audio..
Do i need to remove/add files in the profile as well?

By profiles, do you mean Kodi profiles? or Windows user accounts?
If Kodi profiles then yes if not set up as shared profiles, then there would be a guisettings.xml for each and I would assume there needs to be a advancesettings.xml for each too.
