Stereo Tool

Equipped with an i9 14900k CPU and 64GB of RAM, I've currently tried setting the computer's power management to maximum efficiency and granting software resource access permissions instantaneous, allowing the CPU to operate at full capacity, as shown in the image. With these settings for processing TV sound, and comparing it to the picture, the sound latency is almost imperceptible. However, I'm worried that a crackling sound might reappear at any time. Currently, the HD audio quality is set to maximum, with a bitrate of 512.

That CPU can handle about 30 STs not 1.
On that picture you have super strange high cpu usage. I don't know is something else working in background tho.
On that cpu you should have 3-5% cpu usage with ST (depends on preset tho). For priority never set "Realtime" only "High".
For asio granularity some default is 256samples, sometimes 512, and you should use what your soundcard is defaulting to.
If you want to change granularity, then do from soundcard panel.

Okay, thank you very much for your guidance.

I'll give it a try, because sometimes after running all day,

it starts to burp.

I thought it was because the CPU performance allocated to the software wasn't enough.

I'll share how I fix it.

Thank you.

That's not the bitrate. That's the block size. While a lower setting does offer lower latencies, the quality really suffers.
You can right-click on some things (try titles as well as sliders/selector boxes) to learn more about them. The latest release, 10.72, has additional translations, so be sure to update.
