Vista - Soundcard Hell in Vista

Every part of a sound controller gets a different device id. That is
that the input and output devices each have a different ID. That did
not happen in XP and MANY program are written with that assumption so
when you have more than one card it gets it wrong unless you are using
the default card.

I wish there were a registry key to change to fix this but apparently
there is not. I think that was an really bad decision not to make at
least a backward compatible option for this as it will break a LOT of
code.

I need this because I use sound card to create digital signals for
Amateur Radio transmitting. If I use the default; card then Windows
sounds get transmitted and also there is an application that announces
things that have been spotted by other stations on an Internet
cluster. Those would also go out on the air, not nice and not legal.
