[Elecraft] Dual Soundcards

[David Gilbert]

Yes, I agree that Windows will work with multiple sound cards, including 
virtual ones like Total Recorder.

However, let's assume that I have two identical sound cards installed 
... same manufacturer, same model number, same drivers, etc.   Windows 
shows both of them with the exact same title in Device Manager, and any 
particular application will simply show both identical descriptions in 
their respective drop down setup menus.   Is there any way I can 
separately identify them so that I can connect them to different 
external hardware and know which is being used for what?

Thanks again,
Dave   AB7E
