SYMPTOMS
In Windows Vista, if multiple recording devices have the same name, the recording devices may not work.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because Windows Vista cannot distinguish the devices.

- Click Start, type Sound in the Start Search box, and then click Sound.
- Click the Recording tab, click the name of a recording device, and then click Properties.
- Type a unique name for the recording device, and then click OK.
