On that SDRuno snap.... you're tuned to 7Mhz. It looks like you may have it working...except the silver V3 dongle can't go that low in freq without direct sample mode turned on or an upconverter unit. Try something in the FM broadcast band. In addition, it would be helpful to see the OPT Button/ select input selector..that also where direct sampling would be turned on....
I'm a little stumped on the sdr console not seeing rtl dongle.....unless its still being used by sdruno or other application ??
(edit) After looking at your picture closely, I see you have managed to turn on direct sampling... seeing the cmd line window. I will tell you that direct sampling mode is very insensitive and requires a pretty good antenna. In direct sampling mode ....rf gain mode is unavailable or grayed out... good luck , have fun...
