Installation and uninstallation of drivers is a user-mode activity.
However, one way to do what you ask is to make your "other device" into
a bus driver. When it is ready to have audio services available, you
call IoInvalidateDeviceRelations, which tells PnP to ask your driver
about its child devices. You report the PnP ID for your audio device.
The system will load your audio device, and it will start to run.
When you're ready to kill the device, you call
IoInvalidateDeviceRelations again, and return nothing. Your audio
device will be shut down.
This is exactly what the USB bus driver does when a device plugs and
unplugs. And, really, it's not that hard to do.
