Windows 10: Method to re-number or remove numbering for Audio Devices?

Ok, so this is a pet peeve more than anything else, but is something that I feel should be simple.

For some reason, both of my monitors and my wireless headset are listed with a prefix of 2- in their description (see image). Bizzarely, both monitors have the same -2 prefix, so I had to rename them to differentiate. I don't want or need any numbers to indicate devices, and given duplicate devices get numbered the same, this seems pointless.

Is there a way of removing the numbering from the pop-up sound menu? If not, can I at least change it to 1?

Trouble saving voicemail number

To access my voicemail it is my phone number, a pause and 4 digit pin.



I did the following steps:

• Turned off default voicemail number
• Added a , (for pause) at end of my phone number
• Added the 4 digit pin

I get the following error message We're having trouble saving your voicemail number right now. Try again later.



Any suggestions on how to correct this?
