A method an apparatus for providing capability information to a shared controller. In one embodiment, a peripheral bus host controller may be shared by a plurality of peripheral devices coupled to a peripheral bus. The peripheral devices may include coder / decoder (codec) circuitry, and may be implemented using a riser card. The host controller may be configured to query the bus for peripheral devices by reading each address on the bus. During the querying process, the host controller may detect one or more peripheral devices coupled to the bus.
