Steps to reproduce:

1. Start Foobar2000 and play some audio
2. Set sound split in NVDA, e.g. to NVDA left, apps right
3. Close Foobar2000
4. Disable sound split
5. Close NVDA
6. Start Foobar2000 and start playing again.

Actual behavior:

Foobar is still panned to the right.

Expected behavior:

Foobar should play through both speakers.

Additional context

Note that NVDA seems to restore Foobars panning as soon as you start it. This basically means that sound split, even when it is disabled, changes the panning for applications.
