What do you mean by either 1c88:003e or 1c88:003f?
If you see 3e or 3f, that means that you already have initialized the device?

Do you already have the firmware?

For the EasyCAP DC60, this should create a file named "Program Files/Common Files/Somagic/SmiUsbGrabber3C/xp/SmiUsbGrabber3C.sys". For EasyCAP002 this should create a file named either "Program Files/Common Files/Somagic/SmiUsbGrabber3E/xp/SmiUsbGrabber3E.sys" or "Program Files/Common Files/Somagic/SmiUsbGrabber3F/xp/SmiUsbGrabber3F.sys".»

I'm not sure why you was told to contact me, the correct place is our

This looks like there is a problem with your wine installation.

I've never used the extract-firmware application, and I'm no wine expert.
I'm forwarding this email to our mailinglist, and hope someone there
can help you.

Yes we are several developers who are running this on linux,
and you can contact all the developers if you send your email to the
"easycap-so...@googlegroups.com" address :)

You should probably re apply for subscription.
The subscription process is fully automatic.

Any ideas about how to fix this issue? :)

[cristian]

But, above all, the most important question is: which version of wine did you use to extract the firmware? :)
