Sound Card Name

[nco2k]

does anyone know how to get the name of the default sound card?

- i dont want to use directx or wmi.
- it looks like it can be done with the IMMDeviceEnumerator, but it requires vista or later.
- waveOutGetDevCaps only returns the speaker/output name and is insanly outdated.

am i missing something obvious here? im totally running out of ideas.

yes i was hoping to find a simple way, which will also work for xp, but i couldnt find anything satisfying so far. for the time being, i will stick with the vista+ version and hope microsoft doesnt change it for a very long time.
