MATLAB: How can one recognize a digital audio interface name /vendor (USB digital audio)

audioverinfo

I tried to use 'audiodevinfo' as follows
myDevice = audiodevinfo;
nInputs = audiodevinfo( 1 );
nOutputs = audiodevinfo( 0 );
inName = myDevice.input.Name;
inID = myDevice.input.ID;
inVER = myDevice.input.DriverVersion;
outID = myDevice.output.ID;
OutName = myDevice.output.Name;
OutVER = myDevice.output.DriverVersion;
but no matter what USB digital audio interface I connect I got
myDevice.output.Name = myDevice.input.Name = 'Primary Sound Capture Driver (Windows DirectSound)'
myDevice.output.DriverVersion = myDevice.input.DriverVersion =
='Windows DirectSound'.
I expect to get the name back something seen in the PC Device-Manager List, such as 'USB One' or 'Komplete 6 Audio'.
Two digital audio devices I connected are 'USB One' and 'Komplete 6 Audio', respectively.
Komplete 6 Audio is a digital audio interface with 24 bits/96000 Hz, 5 analog inputs and 5 analog outputs
And 'USB One' is a digital audio interface with 24/bits/48000Hz, 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs.
Eventually, I want to display the device connected to the PC via USB, so that the user knows his/her device connected to the PC is working for the job.

Hi Ning,
The function audiodevinfo does list the device names.
Can you confirm that you are able to use these devices outside of MATLAB? Try to playback audio using media player or youtube and check if you can hear audio out of these devices?
One thing is that audiodevinfo does not refresh the list of devices automatically. If you plugin in new devices after u have started MATLAB, you might have to restart it.
I tried the following on my system and it worked:
   info = audiodevinfo;
   {info.input.Name}'
Sample output:
'Primary Sound Capture Driver (Windows DirectSound)'
'Microphone (2- Logitech Mic (Communicate STX)) (Windows DirectSound)'
'Microphone (2- Logitech H360 Headset) (Windows DirectSound)'
'HP 4120 Microphone (HP 4120) (Windows DirectSound)'
'Microphone (Realtek High Definition Audio) (Windows DirectSound)'
