Drivers for PCI Simple Communication Controller and SM Bus Controller

[EwanB]

Hello

I replaced a failing hard drive and did a clean install of Windows 10 Home (64bit).  I'm not getting any sound from my headset using the jack plugs on the top of the chassis and I think it may be related to the two missing drivers for:

• PCI Simple Communication Controller
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C3A&SUBSYS_2AF3103C&REV_04
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C3A&SUBSYS_2AF3103C
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C3A&CC_078000
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C3A&CC_0780
• SM Bus Controller
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&SUBSYS_2AF3103C&REV_05
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&SUBSYS_2AF3103C
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&CC_0C0500
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_8C22&CC_0C05

Thanks for any help.

Hi:

You need these drivers for those devices...

SM Bus Controller:  Install this driver first and restart the PC.

This package contains the Intel Chipset Installation Utility. This utility enables the operating system to show the correct name for the installed Intel hardware in the Microsoft Windows Device Manager. This package is provided for supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

PCI Simple Communication Controller:

This package provides the Intel Management Engine Components Driver for supported notebook models running a supported operating system.

Did you install the audio driver?

This package provides the Tempo High Definition Audio Driver for supported desktop models that are running a supported operating system.
