DTS audio process settings are unavailable with currently active audio device

Hello bagir shahab,

Thanks for using Microsoft products and posting in the community.

The error message you're encountering suggests that the DTS audio processing settings are not available for your currently active audio device. This could be due to several reasons, such as a driver issue or a conflict with another audio software or device.

Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot and resolve the issue:

1. Restart your computer: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve temporary software glitches.
   
2. Check DTS APO Service: Since you mentioned that the DtsApo4Service is running, it's worth verifying if it's functioning correctly. You can try restarting the service by following these steps:
   
   • Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
     
   • Type "services.msc" and hit Enter to open the Services window.
     
   • Locate the "DTS APO Service" in the list of services.
     
   • Right-click on it and select "Restart."
     
   • Close the Services window and check if DTS audio is now functioning.
     
3. Update audio drivers: Ensure that you have the latest audio drivers installed for your Asus Vivobook. You can visit the Asus support website, enter your laptop model, and download the latest audio drivers compatible with Windows 11.
   
4. Uninstall and reinstall DTS software: Completely uninstall the DTS software from your computer and then reinstall it. To uninstall:
   
   • Press Windows Key + R to open the Run dialog box.
     
   • Type "appwiz.cpl" and hit Enter to open the Programs and Features window.
     
   • Locate the DTS software in the list of installed programs.
     
   • Right-click on it and select "Uninstall."
     
   • Follow the prompts to complete the uninstallation process.
     
   After uninstalling, visit the official DTS website or your laptop manufacturer's website to download the latest version of the DTS software. Install it and check if the issue is resolved.
   
5. Disable other audio-enhancing software: If you have any other audio-enhancing software installed, such as Dolby Atmos or Waves MaxxAudio, temporarily disable or uninstall them. Sometimes, conflicts between different audio software can cause issues.
   
6. Check default audio playback device: Ensure that your desired audio device (laptop speakers or headset) is set as the default audio playback device. To do this:
   
   • Right-click on the volume icon in the system tray and select "Open Sound settings."
     
   • Under the "Output" section, select your desired audio device from the list of available devices.
     
   • Click on it and click the "Set as default" button.
     

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, you may want to reach out to the DTS support team or your laptop manufacturer's support for further assistance. They may have specific troubleshooting steps or updated drivers for your device.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any further updates, thanks.

Program running a background process?

I'm running Corel Video Studio 2018, and it's updates function shows characteristics of a background process:

- the program has an auto check daily plus a manual option for updates

- manually checked, presented with an option of downloading an update and Ok'd, evidence of any activity vanishes from the program workspace, yet the connected internet modem activity light begins running hot as the download happens

- it's repeatable over several up-date cycles

The evidence seems to suggest a background activity - whilst the program/PC is free to use for other things. Several software packages do this.

However, a check in task manager/processes, show all, does not display any info of a related background process for any Corel or Video Studio program. If a background process is being used by the software, MUST it be listed in the task manager/processes
list?

Platform is windows 7 home sp1 64bit plus the important patches.
