I never make an "upgrading" of the driver in my tests. I used DevCon
to uninstall it and then deleted inf/pnf file from windows\inf
directory. Then I installed it again, not changing anything in my inf
file. Is it enough to completely remove and reinstall the driver?
Now I did as you recommended, and see no my custom names at all, only
"Microphone" and "Line In".
BTW, how Vista compares the GUIDs from MediaCategories? Is the
comparison case-sensitive? If yes, how to form a correct GUID? I see
some GUIDs are uppercase but some have lowercase letters in Data3.
And does Vista a kind of "caching" the names got from MediaCategories
list?

Eugene
