Identical Device Name Bug

I’m not sure whether or not that is the case. What I can say is I haven’t had problems with other applications (i.e. I can select the appropriate devices and they work), and also it just so happens that the Firebox isn’t the only driver in my system creating identically named audio devices.

This is from a GTX 970. I haven’t tested these with Audacity to see if the same issue occurs (or ever used these outputs actually).

As far as updating drivers, I agree with what you’re saying, but also you should know that the hardware is more obsolete than Windows 7. In fact I have the latest drivers and they don’t have drivers for this device for any version of Windows later than 7. :smiley:

One more thing I think I should mention. I found another post while searching for solutions where someone had mentioned doing a similar fix to what I did. At the time I didn’t think their problem was the same as mine but I think seeing this is what led me to try it. This might suggest it’s not ONLY me who’s encountered this issue, old hardware or not.

It’s also possible the actual nature of the problem isn’t what I supposed it to be (identically named devices). That was just a logical conclusion I made.
