USB driver - The required line was not found in the INF


Recommended Posts

There's an audio recording device I use, called Cenix Digital Voice Recorder. The installation CD has the setup, which installs Power Voice II onto the computer; there's also a folder called "Driver" which contains two files: CenixFMC.inf (3KB) and CenixFMC.sys (19KB).

I have used this device earlier and it has worked. At present, when I try to install it, the Power Voice software easily installs, then when I connect the audio recorder by way of USB, XP gives the messages of found new hardware and the driver installation starts, but then the computer stops responding at the point where it shows files being copied between two folders. I've tried allowing it to automatically install the driver, I've tried pointing out the folder manually from the hard disk where I have copied it and the CD, and I've tried allowing it to connect to the net to find a driver, but nothing works. Each time, the computer stops responding and I have press the reset button.

When I tried to install it in Vista, the computer did not stop responding, but it gave a message that the required software could not be installed, and the reason it gave was "The required line was not found in the INF".

I've tried searching the net for drivers, but what I did found was the same stuff that I've got. I ran a CRC check for the drivers I have on my hard disk with the ones I downloaded, and they are the same.

There's another such post at a Vista64 forum, but there is no answer there:

In any case, both my OSes are 32 bit.

Anything to solve this prob?

The Device Manager shows these entries under Universal Serial Bus Controllers:

Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller

Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller

Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller

USB Root Hub

USB ROot Hub

USB Root Hub

When installing the drivers for Cenix, a separate section opens up for it (not in the Universal Serial Bus Controllers) with the exclamation mark, and when the thing finishes, that section vanishes.

Thanks.

Tried it, but it didn't work. In XP, nothing happens; I thought maybe it silently installed, but when I rebooted, there was nothing. In Vista, when I right-click and try to install, it gives the message that it can't be installed in this way.

Isn't there anything like a disk explorer for USB devices, so that it will just scan and show the files and then the files can be copied?

Its not a branded one; its P4 3.0 Ghz, 2 GB RAM, MB DG102GGC2 with onboard ATI Radeon eating 256 MBs of the RAM.

At present it is way more updated than it was some months back, when I used this device and it worked without any problem.

I think your board is "Intel? Desktop Board D102GGC2" as "DG102GGC2" gave no response at Intel

BIOS Version 1087

One of the fixes was "Disabled USB OHCI/EHCI MSI capability."

But to make absolutely certain you are best to click here: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/...b/CS-009015.htm and identify your board precisely

Sorry, its D102GGC2. Just a typo.

On this page, it shows the latest BIOS version as GC11020M.86A :

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/...b/CS-010639.htm

I used Faronics System Profiler, and in the BIOS section, its says:

SMBIOSBIOSVersion : GC11020M.86A.1087.2007.0130.1451

The link you gave, of the pdf file, shows this same number as the latest one, so my BIOS is up to date, but some kind of USB capability has got disabled. What should I do about it?

Thanks for the replies.

Tried Drive Cleanup, it removed 5 USB devices, 1 disk drive, 1 storage volume, and 7 registry key. Then I tried re-installing the driver, and again the computer stopped responding :(

Is it the USB OHCI/EHCI thing that is the culprit? Is there any way around it?

There's an audio recording device I use, called Cenix Digital Voice Recorder.

Only thing I can think of is its not compatible with your version of Windows (including Service Pack)

You may need to go to the Home site to see if there are any drivers updates or patches available

I haven't done this myself, as it may be best for you to check this whilst having all the hardware (and CD) and info (including model number and s/n) available

There may even be a forum

I have found a temporary solution. Since you mentioned the motherboad, I tried the device on my older computer, an Intel D845HV, Pentium 3, 256 MB RAM. The thing worked smooth as anything, and I could get the data out. But I have to get it working on this newer one.

@ kimsland

You have been a great help. Thanks a ton!

I've already tried that link that you've given, it didn't work.

Anyway, I found a solution. I have been trying to contact the guy from whom I bought this device, and finally he sent me an attachment by email, and when I installed it, the device has started working, on the new computer. I tried uploading the .exe, and then a zipped .rar here on the forum as an attachment, but it won't allow me to do it (maybe these extensions are not allowed?).

The attachment he sent was usb2em_0.9.exe (712 KB). I searched for it on the net, there's something here:

http://www.ts-market.com/products/?action=...8&prodId=11

These seem to be simply drivers, right?

Thanks a lot, kimsland, for taking such an active interest! :)

I am now facing the same problem as HydraHeaded, with my Cenix Voice Recorder.

I tried the link posted by HydraHeaded (in the quoted post above), but it seems the usb2em_0.9.exe (712 KB) driver is no longer there. (Now it seems they require you to have bought an Edic product from them and have a valid serial number, in order to download their drivers.)

Does anyone here have the usb2em_0.9.exe (712 KB) driver? Or know where I can download it? If so, I'd appreciate it if you could reply below with a download link.

Thanks!

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
