Windows 10: I have some problem with audio drivers

I just cannot turn on the DtsApo4Service on my PC. The audio quality is affected a lot.I've tried many methods, including reinstalling the drivers and uninstalling the updates. The only thing that works is a clean installation of windows. I did that, but after two weeks, it comes back again. I don't know what to doI am using an ASUS laptop, windows 10 22h2

Problem updating my audio drivers  

Well, to be precise, the problem I have is not about stability, it is about the possibility to install them. This MB came out in 2019/2020, the driver you suggest, which I can download and try of course, is dated 2023. That mean that from 2020 to 2023 it was impossible to install the previous versions ? One had to wait till this 2023 driver to be able to install the audio drivers? I mean...all those drivers are official Asus drivers for the correct MB. The one I pointed out to you, is one that have all the functionality of the audio chipset available, that's why I wanted to install that one. The one you suggest has one function disabled. Don't think it's a good sign when to make your product work you have to disable some functions. But that's ok, I will try the one you suggest. Tomorrow when back from work I will try. Just to be sure to not do something wrong. If I find an EXE file in that folder, should I run it from there ? How about the inf file? Thanks.
