Crash on launch

I have a crash when launching the steam version immediately after launch… Best I get is a black screen, then crash to desktop. The event viewer captures the crash, but no dialogs diplay onscreen, you just end up back at steam.

The only way I can launch the game is to go to services, stop the Windows Audio service. Then launch. The game will launch fine, then I can go start the service to get sound.

I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled my realtek drivers, to no avail. I am using Windows 11, and it is current.

this is the event viewer log:
