Hey VFIO-Users and supporters,

since april I am a happy user of vfio and graphics card redirection to
Windows 10 Pro. Since the last updates I got some trouble with my setup,
that the windows vm is crashing if there is a driver and the RX 580 is
passtroughed to it.

For troubleshooting purposes I installed a fresh new Windows 8.1 Pro
machine, there the driver cant get installed because the driver setup
seems to find the wrong pci ven / pci device numbers.

The RX580 is also only detected as a "Microsoft Basic Graphics Adapter".

My old setup which was working fine for months look like this in xml and
is generated from libvirt-manager:

(Dont be suprised, I also tried to passtrough both pci devices -> audio
and graphics, same issue).

Just sayin that I couldnt find any errors or syslog entrys in the logs.
My vfio setup seems also to be fine:

(dmesg | grep vfio)

The funny thing is, the audio device is correctly detected from the
driver. I also opened a thread on the vfio-subreddit and got redirected
to you guys.

Any help is highly appreciated.
