Audio relay doesn't open

Fresh install of windows, i have downloaded all drivers needed, and audio relay was working until i installed a windows update, and since then audio relay will not open, ive tried reinstalled , restarting and almost everything. My issue is similar to this guys problem:
Audio Relay literally just doesn't open

Only thing is, its a completely dead thread, and the 1 person that commented didnt get the point that the 2 instances that do open, close immediately.
would love help on this cause i use my phone to talk on my pc.
Cheers
