Clicking Options > Show Only Connected Devices and Options > Show Only Devices With Location String cut the display down to the essentials, and there are other filters if you need them (Show Non-Plug-and-Play Drivers).ĭouble-clicking a device displays more information about it.
The program defaults to showing just about everything, too, so for example we had to scroll through 19 'Generic volume' devices on our test PC.įortunately this is easily fixed.
