After installing I noticed my fans were moving at top speed and never slowing down with no applications open. I even quit the soundID app, and tried disabling on startup with a reboot. I checked the activity monitor and "coreaudiod" and a soundIDhelper (or something like that) were non stop using tons of CPU. coreaudiod over 100%, and the soundID background thing nearly an additional 50%. It's clear one or both were burning tons of clock cycles...
I uninstalled the app and the driver and now the computer is quiet and idling like it should.

What's going on here?
