This isn't really an issue but something that I found fascinating.
I currently use the program in a laptop that has 2 audio enhancement services which I really hate. So far I was only able to completely disable one, while the other one was hard enabled at all times.
The only way to disable the second one was by turning off "Signal Enhancements" in the audio device settings. AFAIK this could also disable all the program's features too, but surprisingly it didn't.
I have it installed on the device as SFX/EFX and to be honest I wonder if that has to do with that or something

That is a possibility if looking at the specs of Audio Processing Objects. Perhaps setting it to SFX/MFX has a different effect. Also unchecking the "Use original APO" checkboxes probably kill any audio enhancement including "Signal Enhancement".
