Comment(by yelo3):

 Thanks for your explanations[[BR]]

 1) I mainly asked for the name to be shown, just because whenever a user
 has a problem with his card, he'll be able to know his card model when
 experts ask for it, without having to execute some strange commands on the
 terminal[[BR]]
 You could add the model name in a tooltip or refactoring the treeview
 model. For example:

 {{{
 Internal Audio (Intel HDA STAC9XX)
 1 Input/1 Output
 Analog Stereo Duplex
 }}}
 Or
 {{{
 Internal Audio
 Intel HDA STAC9XX
 1 Input/1 Output (Analog Stereo Duplex)
 }}}
 So you don't change the card name, but add only the model in the Hardware
 tab. This will help users with problems.

 2) I thought that Internal meant inside the computer (internal vs
 external). In this case "Internal" should be renamed to "Integrated"[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 3) I'm not asking to show the difference between front or rear mic. Just
 the difference between "internal microphone" and "external microphone
 plug". Is it possible to detect this?[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 3.1) If you can correctly distinguish the speakers connector, why don't
 you just use "analog speakers/headphones" instead of "analog output"?
 Users will better understead.[[BR]]
 [[BR]]
 3.2) Is the word "alalog" really necessary in the output connectors? I
 know it's analog because I selected "analog duplex" in the hardware
 tab[[BR]]

 Thanks for your support.
