We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

At some point the new versions of SDIO stopped showing a lot of drivers for some systems we frequently use this on. We use it on HP ProDesk desktops often, these machines came originally with windows 10 but they support windows 11. We install windows 11 from microsoft media creation, and run sdio to install a sound driver that enables the computer to detect when you plug a device into the front or rear audio out jack and it will switch the audio output to that jack. without this driver from sdio, that function seems to not work. luckily i had an older version of sdio still in my downloads i can use.
Todays example i had a few minutes to take screenshots of was a HP ProDesk 400 G6 SFF the HP product number is 8HS58UC
i use sdio the same each time, i just download it from this site, extract and run the sdio_x64xxxxx.exe file. i do not modify any options or anything, it always just shows the drivers and i select the one i need. however newer versions show very sparse set of drivers. older versions show many more drivers. i really only need the audio driver Sound Research Audio Effect Component.
Here i'll show both the old version and the new version side by side. the old version defaults to windows 10 in the top left box. the newer seems to default to windows 11. but even changing it to windows 10 does not show the drivers.
screenshot attached
is there any more info i can provide to help let me know. thanks
Thanks for the report. Can you do another side-by-side like this one but with "Expert mode" checked so we can compare the options.At some point the new versions of SDIO stopped showing a lot of drivers for some systems we frequently use this on.

Edit: I suspect it's the difference between Newer checked and not checked.
Ok I see the difference, the newer sdio under expert mode Newer is not checked by default. on the older one it is checked by default. Checking Newer on the 'new' version of sdio does show me the driver i was really needeing. thanks! removed link
