Inspired by https://ko-fi.com/post/SDIO-Driver-Pack--Test-C0C51OSN7E . Though the filetree structure in my 7Z is likely pretty wrong, it contains official drivers that aim to handle the following devices that are marked as "Unknown" in R818 on my end:
• AOC AG271QG (monitor)
• ASUS VG27AQ3A (monitor)
• vJoy (A driver used for a handful of game controller mapping programmes)
• Lenovo drivers related to "Ready For Assistant"/"Smart Connect".
• One Realtek driver that seems different than an existing one with the same name (realtekapo.inf)
A Microsoft "Voice Clarity" driver also exists, but I couldn't fit it into the forum's 10MB limit.
Oh good! You get to beta test my driver pack construction. I've added your drivers to the pack and re-uploaded to mega. See if you can install the drivers from SDIO. Remember to delete the index for this pack first.
i presume the link is different: https://mega.nz/file/ycE1WbAB#5n3Sy61CYwzz8I2HxfFveGfjVzmXbiKNGS0uuoUsqbs
Testing it out now, I got the new beta pack to detect all but one of the programmes in question in SDIO. So it's a good start.
Detected:
• AOC AG271QG
• ASUS VG27AQ3A
• Realtek Asio Component
• Realtek Audio Universal Service
• Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller
• Realtek Hardware Support Application
• Realtek High Definition Audio
• vJoy Device
Detected, but SDIO failed to install the detected driver's update on my end:
• Realtek Audio Effects Component
I/It couldn't find a way to detect it:
• Lenovo Virtual Bus (lenovoDriverBus.inf)
I eventually got Realtek Audio Effects Component to successfully update as well. For unclear reasons, the version SDIO wanted to install by default was 12.0.6000.1905, while the version marked as "(duplicate)" was 13.0.6000.1905. The latter version worked.
I've added the Voice Clarity driver as this comment's attachment.
@dandelionsprout This is good!
The lenovoDriverBus.inf failed for 2 reasons: 1) the processor didn't pick up the sub-directories in the inf file and 2) the actual file layout doesn't reflect the inf file accurately. It references two sub-directories, "\x86" and "\amd64". The first is missing, so that target is skipped.
Edit: The same is true for the other lenovo items as well
As for any other drivers that I know are frequently found in "Unknown" across many PCs are the various BenQ/ASUS/AOC monitor drivers. The problem with that is that there are well over 400 drivers combined across those 3 brands, and the existing "DP_Monitors_(...)" pack only covers maybe 80 or so, virtually none of them for monitors produced in 2019 onwards.
This specific comment's 7Z has 70-or-so drivers for BenQ, but even then it doesn't cover anywhere near all BenQ monitors; it possibly covers maybe just under half of all, and I'm not at sufficiently good health to take on the task solo of finding ASUS/AOC monitor drivers as well.
But as a bonus in the 7Z, I've added some drivers that I swear that SDIO on my PC listed as "Unknown" in 817, but which it fails to list at all in 818:
• Kensington VeriMark (Biometric readers for Windows Hello).
• "Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge (COM4)" (Used by the admittedly significantly outdated "N2 Elite Reader" device).
• USB controller drivers that are related to EPSON Eco-Tank printers in some way.
• 2 drivers from Nordic Semiconductor. They seem to be for single-device custom USB Bluetooth adapters.
• Jabra's base driver for USB-C Jabra headsets.
Unless anything unusual was to happen, I at least think these are the last drivers I can add to the pack for the time being, since I simply lack enough USB or HDMI devices laying around that I could run detection tests with.
@dandelionsprout Thanks for that. However I really need the original distribution packages as your zips are missing files.
If 100% of them are inadequate for SDIO, then it'd be rather difficult, or at least time-consuming, to find the originals:
• BenQ: Listed on their related products' pages as "WHQL Driver", one product at a time. For e.g. BenQ PD3420Q, it would be at https://www.benq.eu/en-uk/support/downloads-faq/products/monitor/pd3420q/software-driver.html
• Kensington: Since I was only able to find that particular version of that driver through a Windows Update Catalogue .cab file, and even then required some quirky folder placements, even I concede it'd be practically impossible.
• Silicon Labs: https://www.silabs.com/software-and-tools/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers?tab=downloads ("CP210x Universal Windows Driver")
• EPSON: Hard to tell. So that one can be skipped.
• Nordic Semiconductor: I have not for the life of me been able to find any sort of official installer on NS's sites. So those can be skipped too.
• Jabra: The driver package is installed as part of installing the Jabra Direct software ( https://www.jabra.com/en-AU/software-and-services/jabra-direct ).
@dandelionsprout No worries. We'll keep what we have for now. The processor will just skip anything that is missing files. Specifically:
lenovoDisplay.inf
lenovoDriverAudio.inf
lenovoDriverBus.inf
lenovoDriverHid.inf
LenovoKbfilter.inf
JabraBcDfu.inf
nrfconnect_dfu_trigger.inf
@dandelionsprout I am developing a driver export tool to help for SDIO driver submissions and you seem like a good candidate to test it 🙂 See if you think this would make things easier. Extract to your SDIO directory and check the txt file for additional info.

My tests of it are so far so well. I initially ran into some errors when exporting certain drivers like XVDD, but closing and re-opening Backup Drivers fixed it in each case (and I couldn't reproduce the error afterwards), and I unfortunately don't remember what the error was called (except that it was something about writing lines).
It doesn't appear that Backup Drivers actually require 7-zip as an external dependency, as I at least couldn't spot any problems with exporting drivers while 7-zip was not in my system's list of installed programs.
In the attached .7Z are 5 drivers I've been able to export with the tool. All 5 had outdated older versions in existing packs, while the .7z-s versions are newer.
• AMD Special Tools Driver
• Elgato Game Capture HD60 Pro
• NVIDIA High Definition Audio
• NVIDIA Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM)
• Xvdd SCSI Miniport
I was also able to export the recentmost Nvidia GeForce 3060 graphics driver, but at 2.6 GB it won't fit in a forum attachment, unfortunately.
If it happens again, grab a screenshot. XVDD appears to have exported ok.I initially ran into some errors when exporting certain drivers like XVDD, but closing and re-opening Backup Drivers fixed it in each case (and I couldn't reproduce the error afterwards), and I unfortunately don't remember what the error was called (except that it was something about writing lines).
You are correct. 7-zip is not a dependency but it will use it if it finds it.It doesn't appear that Backup Drivers actually require 7-zip as an external dependency, as I at least couldn't spot any problems with exporting drivers while 7-zip was not in my system's list of installed programs.
Yeah, don't worry about that one 🙂I was also able to export the recentmost Nvidia GeForce 3060 graphics driver, but at 2.6 GB it won't fit in a forum attachment, unfortunately.
If all goes to plan you should see your drivers show up in the next DP_SDIO driver pack.
Here's one additional driver (PawnIO, used by certain system fanspeed tools like FanControl):
Hi Glenn,
attached is another missing driver for an USB bluetooth 6.0 dongle with a Barrot chipset. This product is based on the chipset as example:
https://geizhals.de/ugreen-bluetooth-adapter-75073-a3669296.html
They seem to have also an BT 5.4 chipset, drivers can be found here:
https://catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=VID_33FA%20PID_0010
Here you go with two Lenovo monitor "drivers".
