The RTX has a unique VID and PID. However it enumarates as a USB Audio class 2 devices.
I helped with some Linux USB audio stuff and saw how complex it is. The Linux UAC 2 driver has a lot of "quirks" for different devices and new ones are getting added all the time.
The USB device "enumerates" what it is and what it can do in the handshake but the spec is loose enough that a lot of details are not consistent between implementations. Both CMedia and XMOS are compliant but not fully interchangeable.

Well, that may be. Still, Microsoft didn't pay for the machine and they don't look after it. In short, they have zero right to even peek inside to see what software you are running. Never mind changing drivers and other sure to please activities.
They already have back doors built into each machine running any OS they have ever written. They can, and I'm pretty sure they do look at what you're running in the way of programs, even non-Microsoft programs. That is called "break and enter" as you do have a reasonable expectation of privacy. They can look at the OS, but fingers off when it comes to drivers and forcing updates.
It is really as open and shut as that.

Yeah, most USB device class specifications suffer from this to some degree. Design-by-committee leads to these overcomplicated standards and specs.
The USB and PCI quirks source files in the Linux kernel are tragically large these days, too. Lots of bugs in the controllers.
It's not just Microsoft Chris.
I had a private conversation with my hygienist about seeing a gum specialist.
She texted me about the appointment. Now I'm seeing personalized adds for tooth implants on my browser. So Bell mobility is spying on me too and using my personal data for their gain.
