Waves audio high CPU usage

Is anyone else seeing this issue?

Every time I start my XPS 13 9310 I hear the fan spin up and notice this high CPU usage for WaveSysSvc.  If I force close the process it stops. I tried to uninstall it but it just takes you to add/remove programs with nothing listed. I am running the latest BIOS and driver versions. I've now manually disabled in device manager but it appears this has been a known issue for over a year so it is disappointing it has still not be resolved.  In general I wish this bloatware (Killer WiFi centre is another one) wasn't installed in the first place!
