How to change default playback and recording device names in Windows?

In Windows when a recording device plugged in, the device alias name becomes "Microphone", but I want it "M" for new devices. By default I want it like this:

Not like this:

Also the same thing is necessary for playback devices, I want them with default alias as "S" instead of "Speaker".

How can I change it for all new plugged devices. When I change it for a device, its alias changes, but I want to change it for newly plugged ones.

Perhaps it might be somewhere in regedit, but I can not find..

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\MMDevices\Audio\Capture

All play and record device are there

You can rename key, that will change the peripheral name instantly without reboot

You can listen the newly plugged devices and rename their names programatically. I hope that helps
