It doesn't appear under any of the WDM categories in graphedt? No, only the virtual HD Audio sound card. The service name can be chosen arbitrarily. However, the system will not allow you to have two services with different names but the same "DisplayName". That's probably what you were running into. Had you deleted the old one, you could have added the new one.

I had some odd behaviour on my virtual testing machine, whenever I change the name property of the AddService directive in my inf file, devcon and my own installer wouldn't install the driver anymore. Accordingly to MSDN, the name property can be chosen randomly, and it worked again after I have reverted my VM to an earlier state, but after that I couldn't change it again. Is that a sign for a problem with the driver? The service name can be chosen arbitrarily. However, the system will not allow you to have two services with different names but the same "DisplayName".
