Does AR8c need Universal Control?

I was trying to update my Universal Control app so it would work with Memory Integrity, but when I opened it to check for updates I noticed it did not see any devices - even though I was listening to my AR8c at the time!  

Tried reinstalling, directly connecting to the laptop without my hub, and nothing changes.  However, uninstalling the Universal Control seems to have no affect either, everything still sees all the channels of the AR8c.  Do I need this since it apparently doesn't add anything?

I spent some time on this problem, and realized I had a whole bunch of old drivers on my system that didn't go away when uninstalling the Universal Control app.  Seems like one of these old drivers is actually controlling the AR8c, which the UC is not seeing.  I manually uninstalled every pae driver on the system from the device manager, then reinstalled Universal Control with only the StudioLIveAR driver included, and now I have access to the device as well as can turn on Memory Integrity.
