Dear Teo En Ming, There may be many reasons for this: 1) a program uses some not fully implemented setupapi functions to find a device 2) a program can not open a device file created by a driver (driver did not create device file due to some errors) 3) a program is trying to use Read/WriteFile for device file, this is not supported now 4) may be something else Try WINEDEBUG=+setupapi,+file,+winedevice,+ntoskrnl,+usbhub Best regards, Alexander Morozov On Friday 17 September 2010 14:12:30 Mr. Teo En Ming (Zhang Enming) 张恩鸣 of Singapore wrote: > Dear Alexander Morozov, > > From the output of the command "ps -ef | grep wine", we can observe > that the native Windows USB driver ICDUSB2.sys for the Sony IC Recorder > gets loaded with winedevice.exe. > > enming 18814 18781 0 16:15 ? 00:00:00 > C:\windows\system32\winedevice.exe ICDUSB2 > > However, Digital Voice Editor 3 (under Wine) simply would not detect the > Sony IC Recorder.
