Missing PCI Serial Driver (chipset driver)

I have a HP Compaq dc7800 Convertible Minitower PC with Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit that the audio jack (back or front) does not work.  When I contacted HP, because their website doesn't give the OS option for Windows 8 or Windows 10, they asked if I had any hardware in Device Manager that had a yellow "!".  I told them that there was one under Other devices called PCI Serial Port.  Then I gave them the following hardware IDs for the device:

  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2E17&SUBSYS_3035103C&REV_03
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2E17&SUBSYS_3035103C
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2E17&CC_070002
  • PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2E17&CC_0700

HP support then told me that this was actually a missing driver for the chipset.  They then told me "Drivers for windows 8.1 pro 64 bit are not available, HP is still working on it, please get in touch with Microsoft for the temporary drivers."  I am assuming the chipset drivers are connected to the internal audio and serial port.  I tried to update driver software using the "Search automatically for updated driver software" without any luck. 

Does anyone know were I can get the drivers?

    You can use a win 7 driver in compatibility mode

    To install in compatibility mode do the following:

    Right click the installer>properties>compatibility>choose OS
