Changing device names in the device manager doesn't work.
I understand you're referring to altering audio sources. It seems you want to switch between speakers and headphones using Device Manager, but I should clarify that this capability isn't fully supported.
The registry setting you were modifying helps software retrieve specifications from the system more easily. Usually, this process requires significant effort. According to the Windows documentation, these settings are intended for reading purposes only. The name comes from the driver of the hardware.
