Multiple windows users 7.1 surround sound

Hi!
There are 3 windows users on my laptop - my private user, my twitch stage name's user with all things twitch and my boyfriend's user. I installed the surround sound app on my twitch user, as I play all my games there. The settings are set correctly and it seems like it is working on all 3 users, but I cannot open the app on neither of the other 2 windows users. So I am wondering now. Does it work in the background regardless of who is logged in to the laptop? Cause I am not sure if it works and my bf needs the software for games as well, as it helps to know from which side enemies are coming and such.
Thank you in advance to whoever will be able to explain this to me.
Kind regards,
