What is the "dolbyDAX2API" process?

Hello,

everything is in the title. The only detail is that I want to know what this process is for and where it comes from since it is consuming 20% of the CPU... consistently. Once stopped, it tends to come back from time to time; otherwise, it is there at startup.

I am on Windows 10, and the problem started occurring after a (forced...) OS update.

Does anyone know where it comes from and how to fix the issue?

    Thank you very much, indeed I have a basic Dolby program installed, but I didn't have this problem before the update, and why is it using 20% of the CPU when I don't have any sound running?
