I'm working on an audio driver that will add a new endpoint. Rather than a physical piece of hardware, I have a library that handles the details of transmitting data to the target device.
Because this isn't a physical device that will be plugged in, I'm having trouble interpreting much of the documentation I'm reading for my particular scenario.
As an example, I originally thought that clicking an .INF file and choosing "Install" would cause a virtual device to show up in Device Manager. I was confusing drivers and devices. The docs repeatedly say something like "when you plug the device in, Plug and Play does ....".
Neither of the drivers I'm working on have any physical component like that (one is a virtual monitor driver, the other a virtual audio endpoint). So assuming I had finished drivers for both of these, and I installed both of them, what is the event that causes them to show up in Device Manager?
