December 25th, 2016: SDR-IQ seems to be very much plug-and-play with Windows 10.As part of a debugging exercise a SDR-IQ was plugged into the development Windows 10 64-bit system, the drivers were downloaded and installed automatically, the SDR-IQ was found and started first time. Hi, I have this TV tuner and it was working flawlessly with Windows 7 but does not work with windows 10 64 bit.There are some sellers in ebay selling it with supported drivers for windows 10 but I can't find any download link. I tried the zadig drivers but I can't watch TV after installing that too.
SDRuno Not Recognizing New RSPdx #sdruno
Rtl-sdr Driver Windows 10
Rtl Sdr For Windows 10
#57722 Bought an RSPdx, downloaded SDRuno v1.33 & cannot get SDRuno to recognize the RSPdx. Starting uno gives me this - 'Error: No available RSPs found. Please check USB cables, device drivers or if the RSP is in use with another application. This SDRuno instance will now exit.' I uninstalled & reinstalled SDRuno 4x's but no dice. Tried 2 different new USB cables on both my USB2 & USB3 connections, didn't help. Windows 10 device mgr. sees the RSPdx but says there's a driver problem - 'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)'. But when I have Windows try & update the driver, it says that the correct/latest drivers are installed for the device. Just for the heck of it, I downloaded SDRConsole, same thing, it couldn't see the RSPdx. What can I do to fix this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Tom |
#57723 Install SDRuno as administrator. If that doesn't help install the API and driver on it's own, from https://www.sdrplay.com/windl4.php -- Martin m3ghe |
#57746 Martin, Thanks for your reply. Install SDRuno as administrator.I tried this & it didn't help. If that doesn't help install the API and driver on it's own, from https://www.sdrplay.com/windl4.phpI'll try this next. I got an e-mail from SDRplay support saying I should turn off my virus programs when installing as they may block some things from downloading properly so I'll do that as well. Tom |
#57748 Tried installing the API & driver on their own along with turning off my virus programs but none of that helped. Uno still can't recognize the RSPdx. I tried to have Windows try & update the driver again, and again it says that the correct/latest drivers are installed for the device. Anyone have any further suggestions. This is frustrating. Tom |
#57753 Just making sure you know that when you install the SDRPlay software the receiver must be disconnected. There is a warning in the installer about this. I would try the following: 1. Disconnect the receiver from the PC 2. Uninstall all SDRPlay software 3. Reboot 4. Install SDRUno (do not plug in receiver until directed to so so) 5. Start SDRUno and make sure it can see the receiver 6. Shutdown SDRUno 7. Start Console 8. Delete any receiver definitions for the SDRPlay receivers 9. Add a new definition for the SDRdx (using the V3 definition) -- Dennis KA6FUB |
#57768 Dennis, Thanks for your reply. I didn't plug in the RSPdx until the installer prompted me to. As for your steps above, I've done 1 thru 4 numerous times but #5 is the problem, uno never sees the RSPdx. As for Console, I did 7 thru 9 but no dice. When I click on the V3 definition I get: SDRplayAPIService: The service is running. opening check service version, require 3.06 lock device list get devices devices = 0 unlock device list close Below all this, the OK button is grayed out so I can't proceed any further. So it's saying it can't see any devices. It also says it requires 3.06 but I already downloaded & installed SDRplay_RSP_API-Windows-3.06 as Martin suggested above. Tom |
#57771 My suggestion is: Open a support ticket at SDRPlay. They are very helpful. Btw I assume you are aware that the device MUST be disconnected until prompted by the installation procedure. -- Bjarne Mjelde arcticdx.blogspot.com Remote receivers: arcticsdr.ddns.net:8073/ kongsdr.ddns.net:8074 |
#57776 As I mentioned previously, I did not connect the device until prompted to by the installer. I have already talked to SDRplay support. The couple of suggestions they provided did not work so I am going to have to give them remote access to my computer to investigate. |
#57777 Tom, if uno cannot find the RSPdx I don't think Console has a chance. It sounds as if this unit has never worked. Could be the RSPdx is defective. -- Dennis KA6FUB |

#57782 Simon, I've tried 2 good quality cables - a new 6' Tripp-Lite USB2 cable w/attached ferrites and a new 6' NXT cable without ferrites in both my USB2 & USB3 ports. |
#57784 Just a thought, are you installing all of this to their default locations or are picking elsewhere? If you are, uninstall and install using defaults. -- Martin m3ghe |

#57815 Well, after having SDRplay support poke around in my computer for 2 1/2 hrs, this morning, I think we've found the root of the problem. Basically, Windows 10 was treating the RSP driver as unsigned (even though it was) & wouldn't allow it to load & install. A security feature in Win10 called SECURE BOOT was the problem. Secure boot - 'Protects the system against malicious software applications as well as unauthorized OS loading during start up.... software or firmware having 'signed approved keys' are only allowed for execution. Secure boot also prevents rootkits and malware attacks to load on the system by blocking them.' The solution is to go into the BIOS & turn off secure boot which means 'Disabling secure boot on Windows 10 means, you are making your computer vulnerable to virus attacks and unauthorized software installations'. And in order to re-enable secure boot the computer will have to be reset to its original factory state! So I'm not sure what I want to do at this point. --> Can any RSPdx users check to see if Secure Boot is enabled on their Win10 computers. Go to UPDATE & SECURITY, WINDOWS SECURITY, OPEN WINDOWS SECURITY, DEVICE SECURITY, SECURE BOOT is the 3rd item down & tells you if it's on. I am not understanding how all the RSPdx/Win10 users installed this with no problem while all coincidentally had Secure Boot turned off. My Win10 installation was just a standard install and had Secure Boot turned on. The SDRplay support guy said this was the first time he's come across this in 2 years of solving problems. Tom |

#57817 Agreed! I would never turn off Secure Boot during normal operation as that is one of Micro$oft's better protections. Unsigned drivers are a very easy work-around requiring a one-time advanced startup (Settings > Update & Security > Recovery > Troubleshoot > Advanced > Startup Settings > Restart) and selecting the 'Disable Driver Signature Enforcement' option when the system reboots. I have a couple pre-Window 10 driver's where I have to do this and once it's done at install, I'm never bothered about the drivers again. However with all that said, I still agree that it appears that 'something else' may be going on here. toggle quoted messageShow quoted textDewey -----Original Message----- From: main@SDR-Radio.groups.io On Behalf Of Simon Brown Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2020 13:39 To: main@SDR-Radio.groups.io Subject: Re: [SDR-Radio] SDRuno Not Recognizing New RSPdx #sdruno Tom, I'm a tad sceptical here, I think there's another villain in play.

#57818 Simon, - My laptop is an ASUS Q505U i5 w/SSD hard drive - I use Malwarebytes Premium & Windows Defender - Yes, I downloaded fresh installs 4 or 5 times from the SPRplay website - Ran checkdisk on C drive - all is OK - Malwarebytes scan reports no problems. Thanks Tom |
#57819 On a related matter, I have an RSPdx arriving later this week. I currently have an RSP2 working on the same computer. Is it safe to assume that the RSPdx will be recognized by SDRC (and of course the O/S in Device Manager), by simply plugging it into a USB port on the same machine? What I'm asking is if the RSP2 is recognized, then that means a driver was properly installed for it. Is it true that the very same driver that is already installed should recognize the SDRPlay RSPdx? Win10 Pro, btw on a Refurb Lenovo Core I5 with 8 gB ram. 73, N0AN On Tue, Jun 23, 2020 at 12:39 PM Simon Brown wrote: Tom, |
#57820 OK, toggle quoted messageShow quoted textIf you have Malwarebytes Premium then I would be happy with that. It would be interesting to see the error message about the driver not being signed. You should be able to view a signed file and see the info - you can do this with my kits for example. Code signing certificates aren't cheap, costs quite a lot but gives computers, anti-virus etc. less of a headache. I wonder whether the certificate couldn't be verified?
