Name := SoundGetName(Component, Device)
If blank or omitted, the name of the device itself will be retrieved. Otherwise, specify the component's display name and/or index, e.g. 1, "Line in" or "Line in:2".
For further details, see Component (Sound Functions).

For further details, see Device (Sound Functions).
