Check your settings, try changing usb ports.

In the future I'd recommend posting in the thread for MultiMiner here:

This will ensure you get faster help and the assistance of others using the software.

MultiMiner uses either cgminer or bfgminer on the backend. So if cgminer detects your USB Erupters there should be no issue seeing them in MultiMiner. What version of cgminer are you using? What arguments are you passing in to cgminer currently? Can you try running the following command with cgminer and see if it lists your Erupters:

Code:

cgminer -d?

I did that, it still doesnt detect. My cgminer is 3.6.1, and it doesnt detect it at all :/. I dont wanna try BFGMiner because i dont have the drivers for it.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Please run this command at the command line and then paste the output back here:

Code:

cgminer -d?

Honestly cgminer has had new releases 3 times in the past 3-4 days and several of them were due to broken USB support. The current version is still broken for OS X. I would recommend trying bfgminer. What is the problem with the drivers? They are available here:

cgminer -d: requires an argument was the response

It only shows the GPU but, when I have the bat executing it like this: it works

Code:

C:\cgminer\cgminer-nogpu.exe -o stratum.triplemining.com:3334 -u manav1112_1 -p x --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM3 -S //./COM12

Check out the official documentation for using cgminer with USB devices. The method you are using is outdated.

https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/README

Search for setting up USB devices.

I'm sorry to hear that. But, as I stated before, cgminer has had 3 releases in the past 3-4 days and several of them were due to broken USB support. The USB support is still broken for OS X. I would recommend trying bfgminer.

If you hare still having trouble with cgminer I would suggest using the official thread for support:

Edit: Make that 4 releases. Let's hope things stabilize, otherwise I may drop cgminer support altogether...
