    Disabling an audio device in Windows 10it does nothing


    I deliberately want to disable several audio devices so they never record or play audio.Even though the devices are disabled in device manager, applications can and do still use them to play and record audio.I haven't found a solution to the problem.Operating system is Windows 10 22H2 64 Bit.
