I ran into this very same problem. Your driver will need to maintain each
individual devices id. You will also need to persist this across system
reboots since many applications will request the device by name.

Hello Mitch,
hello Jeff,
hello everyone who is interested in adding friendly names to audio
devices under vista.

According to your description I was now able to add my own friendly
names from my .inf file. But there is a drawback compared to xp:
There is no instance id added to the friendly name.
If your are using multiple audio cards of the same type in your
computer, xp adds an instance id to the device name of the second card.
E.g.: if the first device of the first cards is named
"Analog(1+2)"
the first device of the second card is named (under xp, not vista)
"Analog(1+2)(2)"
The instance id is missing under vista.
All cards have the same name.
Does anyone know how to add the instance id to the friendly name by the
.inf file under vista?
Thanks,
Uwe
