You don't need "professional" drivers for your sound card in 2022, latency and stability are mostly a solved problem. There are a few "nice to haves" about ASIO on Windows but it's almost entirely useless, and it's not like Steinberg is maintaining ASIO anymore.

I'm sceptic - I can't run anything with reasonable latency without using ASIO4ALL on my built-in Realtek sound card. Mainboard is with B450 chipset, from around 2017.
