I was using normally my SDR having followed all the steps in the begginer´s guide and worked perfectly, but recently i can´t make it work since it shows on SDR Sharp a error message saying: "Cannot access RTL device".
Also i use the program RTL1090 and along with the SDR Sharp can´t initiate.
I run Zadig several times and the name of the SDR that appears on Zadig is "RTL2832U" and doesn´t appear nothing of "bulk in interface 0). This is happening in two computers that i tried so i don´t know what´s wrong.
The device managers shows the device in the section of "Universal Serial Bus devices" with the name "RTL2832U".
I´m running Windows 10 with 64X OS,
Thanks.

Re: Error with SDR Sharp: "Cannot access RTL device"
Did you run install-rtlsdr.bat in the SDR# folder? Double check that the rtlsdr.dll file was downloaded by the bat file and is in the SDR# folder.
Re: Error with SDR Sharp: "Cannot access RTL device"
Yes, also tried installing again the whole foler an ran "install-rtlsdr.bat" again but keeps giving the same message.
Also noticed that shows an "Unknown" message above the device selection box in SDR#
Thanks.

Re: Error with SDR Sharp: "Cannot access RTL device"
What device/brand of dongle do you have?
Can you also try different USB ports? Sometimes some USB ports on some PCs just don't work.
Can you confirm that "rtlsdr.dll" is inside your SDR# folder?

The device I have is the "Rtl2832". It should work from 25Mhz to 2Ghz and is exacly the same as this photo:
I tried switching the USB port but is still failing.
I let you here a screenshot of my SDR# folder.
Thanks.

Re: Error with SDR Sharp: "Cannot access RTL device"
could you fix it?
Re: Error with SDR Sharp: "Cannot access RTL device"
No, still not working. It may be a Hardware fail?
Re: Error with SDR Sharp: "Cannot access RTL device"
Its hard to say you must replace it and check...

Re: Error with SDR Sharp: "Cannot access RTL device"
SDR# folder looks all good. I'm going to say most likely hardware failure then. Better get in contact with the seller for a replacement.
