Description
ManagedBass doesn't handle the DeviceInfo Name and Driver properties value correctly, they are UTF-16, temporary I fixed the issue locally replacing in this class https://github.com/ManagedBass/ManagedBass/blob/master/src/Bass/Shared/Bass/Structures/DeviceInfo.cs
this code
```
case -1:
return Extensions.PtrToStringUtf8(ptr);
```
with this
```
case -1:
return Marshal.PtrToStringAuto(ptr);
```
As I'm not an expert in this field I'm not sure if this the best way to do it, but hopefully I put you on the right track, thanks

Research direction
Start in src/Bass/Shared/Bass/Structures/DeviceInfo.cs and inspect the case -1 handling for DeviceInfo Name and Driver. Compare the current UTF-8 conversion with the reported Marshal.PtrToStringAuto behavior for UWP, then verify that both properties are decoded correctly without breaking other platforms.
