Reply to HOW TO: Force install-Vestax VCI-100 & others...

Ok, here's the deal:

My PC laptop was having issues with plug n' play devices with my Vestax VCI-100, and my Akai MPD32. Only one of my USB ports would recognize the MIDI controllers, the other three would "fail to install", thus not be usable by the computer.

Here's the steps I took to (finally) figure this problem out:

Find your unrecognized device in the Device Manager, in the Control Panel.



Double click the device and click "Update Driver"



Click "Browse my computer for driver software"



Click "Let me choose from a list of drivers on my computer"


Click "Sound, Game, and Video Controllers"



Click "Generic USB Audio" and select "USB Audio Device"


It will ask you if you are sure you want to install these drivers. As long as the device you are installing is a plug n' play USB Audio/MIDI device, this will work.

Neither the VCI-100, nor the MPD32 are not audio devices, but this is indeed the correct driver for them. Click "Yes"



That's it! Your plug n' play controller should work on that USB port. You have to repeat this process for every non-working port, but now they all work! I can now has multiple controllers for Traktor!




Good luck!
