How to renumber usb audio playback devices windows 10

I always forget how i fix this, but in the audio playback devices in windows 10, windows will start sequentially numbering a device anytime you replug the device into a new USB port, there is a way to reset these with registry edits, but I recall there being a simple software utility to more easily do it, anyone know how to do it either way? thank you.

Bobby S' answer seems to be working, but it might not always be enough to reset the counter (at least on Win10 21H1).

You should be sure to also enable hidden devices by setting [View] > "Show hidden devices". After that you also can uninstall all disabled / hidden instances of your device. Keep in mind: for audio devices there are two listings to uninstall from "Audio inputs and outputs" & "Sound, video and game controllers" (Example of both listings having the affected device)

After a restart you should have a clean installed device. Remember, the device might need to be setup again (volume, effects, gain, etc.).

ok figured it out again, it's as simple as uninstalling the desired usb audio device in windows device manager, reboot, and voila, your playback devices numbers will be reset/removed. hope that helps someone
