eHome Infrared Transceiver not working on Windows7!!!
-
שבת 21 פברואר 2009 09:49I got a remote controller for my processor which is HP Elite m9250f running on Windows 7. Remote controller uses eHome Infrared Transceiver to connect with the computer but since I started running Windows 7 it does not work any more. I tried reinstalling it but it keeps giving me error saying that it is not installed correctly. Anyone know how to fix it? Please help.

שבת 01 אוגוסט 2009 22:26I have the same problem, my IR controller does not work properly ( its intermittent and sends the wrong codes) in Windows 7 32 bit ultimate build 7100. eHome Infrared Receiver c:\windows\system32\CIRCoInst.dll version and C;\windows\system32\Drivers\usbcir.sys version 6.1.7100.0 (winman_win7rc.090421-1700). Any suggestions?

יום שלישי 04 אוגוסט 2009 01:42Since I downloaded the Windows 7 64bit RC, it fixed my problem. Just install the RC and you will be fine. Atleast my problem was fixed because of it. Make sure to do a clean install of the RC because you dont want any "beta" datas to be left on your computer. Good Luck.

What version of the driver and what O/S are you running might help. Nice try -
יום שלישי 15 ספטמבר 2009 22:43I have the same problem running Win7 x86 Home Premium on an HP z552. The version of the drivers are 6.1.7600.16385; CIRColnst.dll / usbcir.sys

יום חמישי 29 אוקטובר 2009 21:04 I have a similar problem with the same machine. I tried a custom driver install and selected the eHome remote install under the Microsoft section for drivers, I got a big warning that the driver was not for the device and then it still failed to start. I suspect something on the board acts like a USB hub and that fails. I've installed the Hauppauge drivers as well with no luck. I think the IR blaster is actually on the hauppauge HVR-1800\1850 card and that the card acts like a USB hub for the IR-blaster. I'll tinker with it tonight and see what I can find

Here is what fixed it for me. Somehow it enumerated one of the USB hubs wrong during upgrade
- I uninstalled the device from device manager (the unknown device with the exclamation mark)
- Shut down
- I detatched ALL usb headers from the motherboard and removed the interface cable to Hauppauge card.
- Booted \ Started Windows. Checked device manager. No failed devices
- Shut Down
- I re-attached ONLY the IR Remote receiver usb cable. To force a rededect I attached it to another USB header (it was on header 2 I put it on previously open header 1)
- Booted
- Windows detected the infrared remote, but but failed on another device (IR blaster?). I suspect it detected it as an eHome Remote not a Transceiver. Even so no failed devices. And what do you know my remote works!
- I wired all my USB cables that I previously detatched
- I plugged in all USB devices (Logitech Headset, Portable Media Drive, HP monitor usb hub, Printer)
- Booted \ Started Windows
- Everything runs perfectly now

Like the trent_m I have to say that the fact that it works on your computer does not solve any problem and nor does it answer the question.

יום רביעי 09 דצמבר 2009 23:21 I found out how to fix the problem with my ehome microsoft branded USBCIR IR Receiver not working. Red light was flashing but nothing happening.
Device Manager > System devices > Unknown device > Update Driver > Identified as "Consumer IR Devices" and installed driver > ALL WORKING NOW!!!
Ensure you have "Consumer IR Devices" installed ok under "System devices"- הוצע כתשובה על-ידי Miina יום שישי 29 יולי 2011 19:40

Did you read my solution? Uninstall the device from device manager. Open the case. Disconnect the USB headers. Start. check that windows does not pick up the device. Connect the USB headers again (I used different ones to force a reload). Restart and voila! eHome is a windows driver so no install disks needed.
The H-P forums has more on this, but it is a USB enumeration problem.

I know it's a bit late, but I have the same problem with an external card reader, using the same software.
I'm pretty sure it's just an external version of the same device.
Following the solution did not work for me however.
When the computer has fully booted, the drivers instantly fail installing. -

I never needed to install any drivers. Windows just needed to detect the device correctly. In the case of your external card reader I don't know. I would go to the manufacturer of the reader, since its external I assume you purchased it after-market. The problem in my case was simply that after the upgrade the device was not detected correctly. I would take the external card reader and plug it into a different USB port, if it still fails again it is a completely different problem than described here. Did you check the device for compatibility prior to upgrade? If its not supported... card readers are cheap (< $20 for a multiformat reader is common). It may be worth it to get a newer reader with Windows 7 support -

Well, it's the same issue with the "eHome Infrared Transceiver" not properly running. The "Detect the device properly" is the device automatically installing the drivers.
Using different ports makes no difference, I have even tried it on 3 different computers. However, they are all W7.

I thought you said this was an external card reader? Is this a combined device (IR and card reader)? Since I suspect this device is more than just an IR transceiver it probably has a usb hub in it as well. If it doesn't have sufficient power it may fail so try not to plug it into another usb hub. uninstall the device before moving it to a different USB port. Mine is built in and directly wired to the Motherboard (Now that I think about it, it may be combined with my internal card reader as a single usb hub. I haven't checked that closely) -

It is, there is nothing infrared about it, however for some reason it requires the eHome Infrared Tranciever" to run, it's probably just a reconstructed version of the built in remote device for this purpose.

When you say "requires" what do you mean? Is it detected as such? And how do you know its not other hardware on the computer?I just checked Geeks.com and the have 7 in 1 external card reader for $5. Try newegg and tigerdirect too. I wouldn't waste any more time on a potentially faulty device.

It is the drivers the device automatically installs and relies on.
I know, it's just that I just got it and wanted to just try to get it to work before I instantly got a new one. These kind of devices cost about 25-30$ around here.I just checked Geeks.com and the have 7 in 1 external card reader for $5. Try newegg and tigerdirect too. I wouldn't waste any more time on a potentially faulty device.

Hi Guys,
I've got the solution. Go to TASK MANAGER > SERVICES (TAB) and click the SERVICES button.
Sort the services by name and find "Human Interface Device Access"
It is likely to have the start up type as "Manual"
and not started.First test.
Right click the service and select START
Now test the remote.If it works...hooray. Now set the service start up as Automatic. Do this by double clicking the service and choosing the option from the drop down.
Cheers
Ben

I'm using the MCE Remote Control and Receiver on a Windows 7 64bit system. This suggestion was the ticket! My Receiver has two jacks for the IR Cable/Bug. One is already connected to the Comcast Set Top box and the other was empty. I plugged a headset cable into the empty jack during the setup process and Media Center finally recognized the IR Device and allowed me to proceed with the configuration. Since I'm using an IR Cable Bug in one of the jacks, it is allowing me to control channels. After the setup, I just removed the dummy headset from the transceiver box and everything continues to work perfectly. Thank you -

I'm having a slightly different problem. My HP m9040n died a while ago. I told HP I had a hardware problem, but they had me try a bunch of software repairs then a recovery (and then I had no luck restoring my files). Turns out my graphics card and motherboard were bad. Since then I have purchased a new aftermarket case, graphics card, power supply, motherboard, RAM. I took my computer to a shop to recover my old data. (I was previously running Windows Vista Home Premium x32.) They upgraded me to Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Now I have to set up Live TV again and can not. I get the IR hardware not detected during setup.
I am still using the OE TV tuner that came in the HP 9040. However, I'm not sure what parts I need to transfer over from the 9040 case to get the remote to work and set up Live TV. My 9040 has the remote sensor in the front card reader. I never used the IR extender board out back to control other devices, and I don't want it in the new case unless it has to be there to get the TV / remote working. My extender board does not have IR Controller Electronics on it (no MOBO connector). I have tried connecting just the card reader to a MOBO USB, the card reader with the front connector port box connected to it and to the tuner card, the card reader with extender attached, etc. .......
In my Device Manager the eHome Infrared Receiver (USBCIR) is recognized. I have tried uninstalling, shutting down, reconnecting multiple times. The computer discovers the receiver and tranceiver receiver with no problem at startup. It continues to give an error (Red X) for an unknown device. I continue to get the unknown device in the device manager. IS this what's holding up Live TV setup? I have not tried the headphone trick, but what would I plug it into since I'm moving parts to a new case? The front headphone input? What hardware from the old case do I need at minimum to use the remote and set up Live TV? Card reader - YES. Front input Assy. that goes to card reader and tuner card?
The HP Remote Solution Application Update didn't work for me either.
Upon trying to install, I'm told I don't meet system minimum requirements - update cancelled. I have the same 2.4G Quad core processor that came in the Pavilion case, same hard drives / DVD, an aftermarket ASUS MOBO running a single 4G card. It is worth noting that my new MOBO does not have the ports to connect the red and yellow cable ends from the front input. Could this cause the problem? I doubt it but am not sure.
Any suggestions?

This solution worked for me and my IR receiver:
- Plug in the device to a usb port on your computer (not through another hub)
- Go to device manager
- Click the "Scan for hardware changes" button
That was it, Windows fixed itself.

I found a simple solution that worked for me, it was driving me nuts, so glad when i found this. I tried the above solutions, didn't go so well and found this one on another site.
If your usb receiver box has the red light constantly on then somethings wrong, it is receiving a signal from somewhere when it shouldn't, it should only light up when your pressing on the remote.
Put any object on top of the box, the light will go out and you will be free to use your remote on it like you should.
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers. Rob.
