Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
This is an issue especially with microphone as it’s less obvious to check than the camera.

My list looks like this:

• Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller Digital Microphone
• Monitor of Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller Headphones
• Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller Headphones Stereo Microphone
• None

We already cut it a bit via name-parts__last but that always only seems to take the last word (at least in my case), so there’s 2 entries with "Microphone".

Describe the solution you'd like
What would be ideal is:

• Internal microphone
• Headphones microphone
• None

The "Monitor of" device basically never makes sense, I don’t know what it is. And the whole part of Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller is just technical jargon which does not need to be shown.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A very simple improvement would be to organize what is shown in front and behind, e.g. in my case it would already be a massive improvement to change it around like this:

• Digital Microphone (Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller)
• Headphones (Monitor of Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller) – although this one seems useless?
• Headphones Stereo Microphone (Tiger Lake-LP Smart Sound Technology Audio Controller)
• None

Ooof that's gonna be a hard one as there's so many different device types and so many different options of what people want to use. Not even Chrome hides those labels and simply shows the device name.
