How to remove recording devices completely?

[Iamnewtotech]

Hey, so I needed a voice changer asap and downloaded, installed and uninstalled a variety of voice changers and I'm finally set in with voicemod (to me it's the easiest and the least to hassle with). But now I have lots of devices in the recording devices which I really don't need and don't know how to get rid of them even though I uninstalled them (the apps). My microphone doesn't even work in CS:GO anymore but works in discord still. So yeah, some recording devices are from my PC itself which I think I can't remove but others I should be able to. I attached the screenshots in which you can see what recording devices there currently are:

The 2 enabled are the ones I am using right now: first one is my actual microphone irl and the second audio device is the virtual mic (voicemod). I'm not very experienced with sound engineering so please pardon me.

Run a system restore. Or install them again and uninstall propetly and if prompted restart.

If you uninstalled the programs properly, while the programs and files were probably removed, registry entries probably remain. I'd probably opt for a registry cleaner tool.

I will note at this time that making changes to the registry can be damaging to your system's operation and extreme caution should be used. Be prepared for a catastrophic failure by having registry and system backups readily available.

-you can go to control panel, device manager and attempt to remove them there
- you can start cmd or powershell and then run the pnputil.exe and remove the driver package
(google how to remover a driver package from the driver store)
- you can download and run autoruns
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/autoruns
select the "hide Microsoft entried" then sort by the drivers tab, you can unclick drivers you don't want to load (for selective loading) or you can delete the driver entry

if the device is a usb device, when they are unplugged they just become hidden. you can view hidden devices and remove them. see this utility:
