dc7800 Windows 10 64b PCI Simple Communications and PCI Serial Port drivers missing

[CaribbeanBlues]

Can't seem to find drivers for a dc7800 upgraded to Windows 10 64b for the PCI Simple Communications Controller and PCI Serial Port devices.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Paul_Tikkanen, are you still around???  🙂

Hi:

Yes, I'm still around, and yes, I know what drivers you need...:smileyhappy:

You need this one for the PCI Simple Communications Controller:

This package contains the Intel Active Client Manager Host Embedded Controller Interface (HECI) device driver for the supported desktop models and operating systems.

PCI Serial Port:

This package contains the Intel Local Management Service (LMS) and Serial-over-LAN (SOL) support for Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) for the supported desktop models and operating systems. This software is part of the Intel Digital Office Initiative.

And allow me to give you a bonus tip...Install the W7 ADI Soundmax audio driver.

I found that works much better than the one that W10 installed.

You install it, then enable multi-streaming in the adi control panel, restart again and go to manage sound devices in the control panel, and select the PC speakers, but of course installing the W7 audio driver is optional, and that is up to you...

Paul, You're amazing!  Perfect!  I don't know how you do it, but I'm glad you do!  I've even tried adding the sound driver, though I haven't found the right one yet.  So far installs fail, but I will do it.  Thank you so very, very much!

You're very welcome.

This is the one I used...

This package contains the driver for the ADI High-Definition (HD) Audio CODEC in the supported desktop models and operating systems.
