That's part of the Realtek Audio Service. It's not essential, but it may affect how you control your sound. Many motherboards have Realtek sound chips on them.
What does RtkAudioService64.exe do?

When I check RtkAudioService64.exe to be run whenever user login, I would like to know on what RtkAudioService64.exe is doing.
Does anyone have any suggestions on whether I need it or not?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

2020-01-26T01:22:30+00:00 I couldn't find anything specific for what that particular module does--not even on Intel's web site, which is where the driver can be downloaded.
