Renaming Devices in Windows Sound Control Panel

[Hadabuo]

If I rename audio devices by the method indicated below, will there be any negative repercussions? I would assume that programs don't use those names to identify devices, but I want to double check.

I've never tried it (or needed to). Give it a try and if doesn't work you can always change it back.

Welcome to the windows 7 forums.

My question is Why is it necessary to rename audio devices?

Who sees it but you when you look at the properties???
