Are you using VAC to connect to other software? If not, I would suggest leaving it unchecked. cmASIO with your Foucsrite is all you need unless you are also using software like FT8.

Operating system updates can play havoc with audio drivers. Try uninstalling the VAC drivers that you are using, reboot, reinstall, reboot, and see if that fixes the problem.

If you loose audio with VAC unchecked, then you have a settings issue. If you have edited the Registry with the correct entry for your interface and in Windows Sound settings, you have selected the USB interface for Audio input and output, it should work. VAC is not needed for cmASIO to work.
In the Thetis installation folder there is a text file for cmASIO explaining the different settings needed.

Windows 11 should look like this using a USB audio interface.

And, as you can see here, VAC is not selected.
