    small mystery for teh driver experts:

    USB Audio Device Properties

    USB Audio Device Properties
Device status:
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

{Operation Failed}
The requested operation was unsuccessful.

    thats the last missing driver on my older desktop. SM Bus Controller with Code 28, everything seems to work fine, but Id rather not leave it like this in case its something like teh card reader or power management. im happy to share any details from Device Manager if it helps. I just dont know which information is the most useful for identifying the device. thx in advance!!

    facepalm

    ahh classic it's usually safe to leave a non-critical device without a driver, but chipset-related devices can affect power management and sleep. Worth fixing.

    yeahhh get teh hardware ID: Device Manager > right-click the device > Properties > Details > Hardware Ids... the VEN_xxxx part is the vendor and DEV_xxxx is the device. that pair identifies the chip precisely.
