Windows 10: Disabling recording devices

I'm clearing my laptop of all video and audio recorders and came across these video devices in the registry. Can anyone tell me what they are, and why the duplicates?

:)

 

Device Manager > Sound > Recording "flickering"

Hi,

When you said you disabled it, did you actually disable the device by going to
Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Sound
> Recording, then right-clicking on the device and clicking on
Disable? Also, have you tried to plug in another recording device to check if it will exhibit the same problem?

In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to scan your computer, identify the problems, and attempt to fix the issues automatically.

• Right-click on the Start button, and select Control Panel.
• Type troubleshooting in the search bar and click on
  Troubleshooting.
• Click on Hardware and Sound > Hardware and Devices.
• Follow the steps from the wizard to run the troubleshooter.

We'll keep an eye out on your response.

• Type troubleshooting on the search box.
• Click View all.

• Follow the steps to troubleshoot Recording Audio.
