lsusb has a database of names.

The snd-usb-audio driver asks the device for what its name is.  You can
see these values in the output of "sudo lsusb -v" for "iManufacturer"/
"iProduct".  (Please check this.)  When these values cannot be read, you
get that "USB Device" name.

It is possible to override this name by adding a .product_name entry
in the sound/usb/quirks-table.h file and recompiling the kernel.
(At least the MT4 does not need this override.  If the Unitor8 or the
AMT8 require it, this change can be made permanent.)

Clemens
