Windows 10: How important is the AsIO.sys driver?

Due to Windows' own recommendation I turned on the "memory integrity" setting in the Device Security > Core Isolation settings.Since then, after launch Windows says that it cannot load the AsIO.sys driver because of this setting. Googling about this driver it appears to somehow be related to sound. However, even though this driver isn't loaded nothing seems amiss sound and everything else seems to work just fine.How important is this driver? Can I just ignore the fact that it's not being loaded?

This issue occurs due to the outdated and incompatible Universal ASIO Driver.

  Locate and expand Universal ASIO Driver.

  Right click on the Universal ASIO Driver
  and select “Update Driver Software”. Once this is done, restart the computer and check, if it works.
