      SOS…SOS , I am having a hell pf a time trying to get mine working. I use a Mac Book about 10 years old running Catalina. From the internet I downloaded Cubic software and it started up nicely. My problem is all I can receive is spectral noise and see no pips. It also wont switch to AM mode, its stuck in FM, stations show up on the range bar , but no audio signals are detected. I am at my wits end with this Chinese crap. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    YYYEEEESSSS! Nailed it. I'm using a brand new lappy, running windows11. All of your steps, work out fine. NB...when I looked at my device manager, it didn't pick the device up as shown, rather it picked it up as 'other'. Just applied the driver to anything that said other and the triangle warning disappeared.....plugged it in.....jobs a good'un!! Thank you Smoking Ape. LEGEND.

    Just set up my RTL-SDR following your instructions today and it was quick and painless. Thank you! Only difference for me is that it didn't even attempt to install the incorrect driver at first. It didn't install any driver. The process in zadig was about the same, only difference is the button says "install driver" instead of "replace driver"

Thanks for the videos and glad you're able to make it work, im returning this unit as it'll never happen for me. Computers make this hobby so frustrating.

Believe me, I have tried everything to get it seen, but no joy. My next step is going to be converting my outdated MacBook to Linux Mint, and then using it to use RTS- SDR on that platform.

    Primarily, I just want something to hear my audio from my station so I can adjust the EQ's without having to ask another operator for something like a "radio check" and otherwise needlessly subject myself to "opinions" of what audio qualities someone else "prefers". The last one I purchased didn't seem to want to work despite following all the directions here that I copied by hand like a secretary taking dictation to ensure doing it correctly. I'm again eager but gun-shy abut buying another one.

    Thanks for the video, I just installed, on 5/26/2021 and needed to install the .NET service before it would run, if on Win10, the x86 version worked for me, I would've thought the x64 would be needed as I'm running a 64-bit OS with 32gb RAM, but it wouldn't work until I installed the x86 version. Does anyone know if I missed something as to why the x64 didn't work?

    Very helpful. Thanks. However, do not see rtl in device manager. In settings RTL appears, but says "driver not available. It was not visible when I ran zadig options either. Any advise? Tried 2 sdr devices and 2 ports.

      The way I found mine in device manager was by the date and time. Right click on the ones that have a triangle with an exclamation point in them and open up properties. Look at the farm right tab I think it is and the time and date are in there. I just did mine this evening (July.11, 2022) and there were two of the same name (can't remember what it was called) but each had triangle with exclamation point so looked into them and bingo! I picked the top one and loaded the driver he said to pick and it all took only a few minutes. Up n runnin

    How do I know what driver was the one assigned when I am going in to Zadig to update the driver? I can't see what is SDR specific in the list.

    Would this kind of setup be possible on a Raspberry pi? I'm considering making a portable radio using this device with a raspberry pi and a power cord plugged into a car cigarette-lighter outlet, but I'm not sure how well that would work.

    Great vid! Subscribed! I have one question. I installed everything, I can get it up and running, but the moment I change frequencies or just click anywhere in the program it shuts down. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    I have been quite frustrated in trying to install SDRSharp on my Windows10 PC; from Downloads, Desktop, or elsewhere. How does one verify the .net runtime download🙁? , where should it be installed? Can someone explain? THANKS!

    I couldn't get the dongle you demonstrated (lack of supply to buy). I have a NESX SMART dongle. Following the steps I don't see it in my available devices and Windows still sees it as a Bulk-In. Cycling through the devices on the list most error with a (no device found) but some do get static, but I'm not picking up anything on the frequencies I can receive with my UV-5R like 162.400.

    Thanks very much for this, I was trying to instal one of these and was having problems with the driver on Windows10. Your video put me right and I was soon up and running, Thank-you.
    Please can I ask you or any of your viewers, does your dongle run quite warm to almost hot? Is this normal? Thanks, Ace
