You will find this ACPI ID inside the following popular (and obscure) devices:
Every component inside a computer relies on a unique identifier string so that operating systems like Windows can match the device with its correct driver.
Without proper handling, peripherals behind this controller may fail upon suspend/resume.
: This is the specific Device ID (DEV) designating the Intel SD Host Controller architecture. Acpi 80860f14

Understanding and Fixing ACPI\80860F14: Intel SD Host Controller Driver Guide
Fresh installations of Windows (especially Windows 10/11 without manufacturer recovery media) lack the proprietary Intel Serial IO drivers. Windows Update may find them eventually, but manual installation is faster. You will find this ACPI ID inside the
On Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt install firmware-intel-sound
Select from the dropdown menu. If you see ACPI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F14 , you have confirmed you are looking for the Intel SD Host Controller.
The sdhci-acpi driver in the Linux kernel is the primary destination for this ACPI ID, bridging the gap between the ACPI description of the hardware and the actual SDHCI (Secure Digital Host Controller Interface) driver that makes the hardware work. Download and run the Intel Driver & Support
Understanding what the hardware ID string represents makes it easier to troubleshoot underlying firmware problems:
After extensive research, cross-referencing with Intel’s reference documentation, and analyzing Linux kernel source code (specifically the drivers/platform/x86 and drivers/i2c directories), we arrive at a clear conclusion:
On a standard installation, this device “just works.” Windows ships with a built-in Intel SST Audio driver (via Windows Update or the OEM driver package). The ACPI tables provide the necessary GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) and I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) connections to the onboard codec (often a Realtek ALC5642 or similar).
: Most modern Linux kernels (5.x and above) include the sdhci_acpi driver which supports this hardware automatically.
