You mean the "smart volume management" stuff stays on? I have the same problem with CMSS-3D on my X-fi, in Windows 7. Disabling it in the x-fi settings is not enough, and even enabling "bit-matched playback" in audio creation mode won't switch it off. I have to go to the speakers properties every time before and after playing a game, and toggle "Disable Sound Blaster enhancements" to switch it on/off properly.

Well, it sounds like it's still on, even if every enhancement is off. For MP3s it's quite annoying.
