Oh. Arse...

Soundcard bricked. Call tech support and explained the whole story. Done the fastest troubleshoot ever ('Have you...?' 'Yup. And I tried x, y, z and pi too. No joy.' 'Well, that shuts me up. Wait, how did you know to do z?' 'Geek with geek friends.' 'Ah.'). Explained the difference in the subsys numbers and was told that made no sense and shouldn't make a difference. Considering we've done all things possible and then some and the computer starts going 'splodey when the drivers are forced on by fiddling with the .inf file, he's 90% certain the card's a goner.

Bit by bit it's all breaking down and getting replaced. Soon, there will only be the case left.
