In my quest to get sound on my computer, I have noticed that everything under my "Other Devices" tab under "Device Manager" has the yellow question marks beside them. I have a "Biometric Coprocessor" "Network Controller" "SM Bus Controller" and a "Unknown Device" tab listed here. Should I be concerned about these? And, if so, is this another driver issue like the sound was? Thanks for your time and here are my specifics.

Install and run system update, it will fix most, if not all of these drivers automatically.

This table might help you.
You also can try to identify the device in the device manager on the "Details" - tab of each device in the "Device instance ID".
If there is an ID like "PCI\VEN_yyyy&DEV_xxxx..." input the "xxxx" in the right imput field on www.pcidatabase.com
In the result list compare the "yyyy" (above) with the VEN-ID and then you have found the device name.
Other/similar "Device instance ID" starting with "USB..." or "ACPI" you will find in the table i've linked above.
The drivers you will find here
Have success.
