Windows 10: PCI driver issue: unable to use PCIe to PCI bridge

Hi!


I've been researching for months and couldn't find a solution to my problem.

Scenario: Dell precision 5530->Dell TB16 dock->Akitio Node Duo->E-MU 1010 PCIe card which hosts a PCIe-to-PCI bradge: https://www.diodes.com/part/view/PI7C9X111SL?BackID=213


I narrowed down the problem to the pci.sys driver I'm using v10.0.19041.1 WinBuild 160101.0800, but had the problem with previous versions too. It seems to me that the driver isn't allocating resource properly.


I came up to the this conclusion because all linux kernels I tried are able to recognize all the hardware and run it, including the sound card while Windows x64 keeps failing at allocating resources for the PCIe to PCI bridge:

Z-PCI tells me that resources can be rebalanced. I tried to go into Device Manager, disable all I could, disable the PCIe bridge device and re-enable but nothing, still exclamation mark and same error.

Here's what I see under Linux:

I also tried to disable link state in power options but nothing changed. Any help you can provide?

Please let me know whatever may help in terms of data collection to further analyze.


Thanks!

PCI - PCI brdige driver update

Where do I get the up to date PCI - PCI Bridge driver

 

PCI - PCI brdige driver update

You should be able to get it from the computer or motherboard manufacturer.

Why do you believe it needs to be updated?

 

PCI-to-PCI Bridge will not allow my PC to sleep longer than 10 seconds, and will turn PC on from shutdown.

We are volunteers willing to help you try to resolve this issue.

PCI bridges allow the system to support added PCI devices and are important to the system. They are the purview of the System/Motherboard Maker so check with their support, online docs and drivers, and in their forum.

The PCI-to-PCI bridge drivers are usually included in the chipset drivers.

Check for updates and install the latest versions. Also, update the BIOS. And check in the BIOS settings.

Please let us know the results and if you need further assistance.
