When you connect a USB audio device to a Windows 10 Version 1703-based computer the first time, the operating system detects the device but loads the standard USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) instead of the specific device driver.
SP Driver V2.0 Install.rarl
This issue occurs because the USB audio 2.0 driver (usbaudio2.sys) isn't classified as a generic driver in Windows 10 Version 1703. Therefore, the system assumes that a compatible, nongeneric driver is installed for the device even though the driver is generic.
If the device-specific driver is distributed through Windows Update, you can manually update the driver by using Device Manager. For more information about how to do this, see update drivers in Windows 10.
If the device is not yet connected, first install the device-specific driver, such as by using the appropriate installer. After the device-specific driver is installed, Windows 10 will select that driver instead of the standard USB audio 2.0 driver when you first connect the device.
To use VHDs produced by Disk2vhd, create a VM with the desiredcharacteristics and add the VHDs to the VM's configuration as IDE disks.On first boot, a VM booting a captured copy of Windows will detect theVM's hardware and automatically install drivers, if present in theimage. If the required drivers are not present, install them via theVirtual PC or Hyper-V integration components. You can also attach toVHDs using the Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 Disk Management orDiskpart utilities.

Note You can also install Windows XP SP2, and then disconnect and reconnect the USB devices that are connected to your computer. By doing this, you start the Plug and Play utility. The Plug and Play utility updates the version numbers for the drivers.
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 15 SP1 and later kernels include drivers for installing onNVIDIA* BlueField* Data Processing Unit (DPU) based server platformsand SmartNIC (Network Interface Controller) cards.
As a technology preview, the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 15 SP4 kernel includes etnaviv,a Display Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) driver for Vivante GPUs, and theMesa-dri package contains a matching etnaviv_dri graphics driver library.Together they can avoid the need for third-party drivers and libraries.
To use them, the Device Tree passed by the bootloader to the kernel needs toinclude a description of the Vivante GPU for the kernel driver to get loaded.You may need to contact your hardware vendor for a bootloader firmware upgrade.
As a technology preview, the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 15 SP2 kernel addedlima, a Display Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) driver for Mali Utgardmicroarchitecture GPUs, such as Mali-400, and the Mesa-dri packagecontains a matching lima_dri graphics driver library.
To use them, the Device Tree passed by the bootloader to the kernel needs toinclude a description of the Mali GPU for the kernel driver to get loaded.You may need to contact your hardware vendor for a bootloader firmware upgrade.
As a technology preview, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for Arm 15 SP2 added a Btrfs driver toU-Boot for the Raspberry Pi (package u-boot-rpiarm64).This allows its commands ls and load to access files on Btrfs-formattedpartitions on supported boot media, such as microSD and USB.
The NVIDIA proprietary display driver on Linux has been updated to version 470.57.02 as technology preview.This release provides an enhanced support of Wayland as well as providing X applications on Wayland (via XWayland) with 3D acceleration.
Previously in SLES 12, the unixODBC driver for PostgreSQL was included in the postgresql10-odbc package and was located in /usr/pgsql-10/lib/psqlodbcw.so.In SLES 15 SP4, this driver is part of the psqlODBC- package and it is located in /usr/lib64/psqlodbcw.so.
The Linux kernel of SLES 15 SP4 now supports Shared Virtual Addressing (SVA), also knowns as Shared Virtual Memory (SVM).This feature allows sharing of CPU address spaces with devices, and simplifies I/O memory management for device drivers and userspace processes.
Sharing address spaces of processes with devices makes it possible to rely on core kernel memory management for DMA, removing some complexity from application and device drivers.After binding to a device, applications can instruct it to perform DMA on buffers obtained with malloc.
Outputting the driver version when using modinfo has been removed upstream.This has been done mainly because drivers developed as part of the Linux kernel tree are already versioned along with the kernel, and having a separate version was optional and confusing.
On system start-up, the graphics console is first serviced by the framebuffer drivers.Later in the process, the framebuffer driver hands over the graphics-card memory to the Direct Rendering Manager (DRM).In some scenarios, the handover can fail and the system graphics console can appear frozen.15 SP4 provides a DRM native boot-time graphics driver, called simpledrm, as a replacement to the framebuffer drivers.
systemd will automatically load the simpledrm driver on the next startup.To avoid this, simply remove the file.To use the driver, pass the kernel parameter enable_sysfb on the next boot.This can be done from within the GRUB boot menu.
In SLES 15 SP4, in order to support new features of NVMe such as Centralized Discovery Controller (CDC), the package nvme-cli has been updated to v2.0, and two new packages have been added: libnvme v1.0 and nvme-stas v1.0.
Some file system features are available in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4 but are not supported by SUSE.By default, the file system drivers in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4 will refuse mounting file systems that use unsupported features (in particular, in read-write mode).To enable unsupported features, set the module parameter allow_unsupported=1 in /etc/modprobe.d or write the value 1 to /sys/module/MODULE_NAME/parameters/allow_unsupported.However, note that setting this option will render your kernel and thus your system unsupported.
However, there was no HDP-TX physical-layer (PHY) controller driver ready yet.Therefore no graphics output will be available, for example, on theDisplayPort* connector of the NXP LS1028A Reference Design Board (RDB).
As a brief summary, the slowest and the most robust driver is theclassical ev which uses symmetric QR. evr is seen asthe optimal choice for the most general cases. However, there are certainoccasions that evd computes faster at the expense of morememory usage. evx, while still being faster than ev,often performs worse than the rest except when very few eigenvalues arerequested for large arrays though there is still no performance guarantee.
In vSphere 7.0, VMKLinux driver compatibility has been deprecated and removed. vSphere 7.0 will not contain support for VMKLinux APIs and associated VMKLinux drivers. Custom ISO will not be able to have any VMKLinux async drivers. All drivers contained in an ISO must be native drivers. All currently supported devices which are not supported by native drivers will not function and will not be recognized during installation or upgrade. VCG will not show any devices not supported by a native driver as supported in vSphere 7.0.
In vSphere 7.0, 32-bit userworld support has been deprecated. Userworlds are the components of ESXi used by partners to provide drivers, plugins, and other system extensions (distributed as VIBs). Userworlds are not customer accessible.
With the i40enu driver in ESXi 7.0 Update 2, you cannot use VGT by default to avoid untrusted SR-IOV virtual functions (VF) to transmit or receive packets tagged with a VLAN ID different from the port VLAN. You must set all VFs to trusted mode by using the following module parameter: esxcli system module parameters set -a -m i40enu -p "trust_all_vfs=1,1,1,...
Starting with vSphere 7.0 Update 2, the inbox i40en driver was renamed to i40enu. As a result, if you attempt to install an i40en partner async driver, the i40en VIB is either skipped or reverted to the VMware i40enu inbox driver.
A rare race condition in the qedentv driver might cause an ESXi host to fail with a purple diagnostic screen. The issue occurs when an Rx complete interrupt arrives just after a General Services Interface (GSI) queue pair (QP) is destroyed, for example during a qedentv driver unload or a system shut down. In such a case, the qedentv driver might access an already freed QP address that leads to a PF exception. The issue might occur in ESXi hosts that are connected to a busy physical switch with heavy unsolicited GSI traffic. In the backtrace, you see messages such as:
If an NVMe device is hot added and hot removed in a short interval, the NVMe driver might fail to initialize the NVMe controller due to a command timeout. As a result, the driver might access memory that is already freed in a cleanup process. In the backtrace, you see a message such as WARNING: NVMEDEV: NVMEInitializeController:4045: Failed to get controller identify data, status: Timeout. Eventually, the ESXi host might fail with a purple diagnostic screen with an error similar to #PF Exception ... in world ...:vmkdevmgr. 2ff7e9595c
