This is an issue especially with microphone as it’s less obvious to check than the camera.
My list looks like this:
- Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller Digital Microphone
- Monitor of Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller Headphones
- Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller Headphones Stereo Microphone
- None
We already cut it a bit via name-parts__last but that always only seems to take the last word (at least in my case), so there’s 2 entries with "Microphone".
Describe the solution you'd like
What would be ideal is:
- Internal microphone
- Headphones microphone
- None
The "Monitor of" device basically never makes sense, I don’t know what it is. And the whole part of Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller is just technical jargon which does not need to be shown.
Describe alternatives you've considered
A very simple improvement would be to organize what is shown in front and behind, e.g. in my case it would already be a massive improvement to change it around like this:
- Digital Microphone (Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller)
- Headphones (Monitor of Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller) – although this one seems useless?
- Headphones Stereo Microphone (Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller)
- None

Compare its current microphone and monitor labels with the requested shorter names, then verify that the picker distinguishes internal, headphones, and unavailable devices without exposing unnecessary technical text.
