MAC OSX SONOMA 14.5 fix DEVICE problem #1427

Closed SandorPeteer closed 5 months ago

My RTL-SDR v4 device is not working with Sonoma 14.5

I've been using my RTL-SDR v4 device with SDR++ for a while now and it's been working great. However, after updating to the latest macOS Sonoma 14.5, SDR++ is no longer able to detect or use the device. I've tried everything I can think of, but nothing seems to work.

I've tried the following:

Restarting my computer Reinstalling SDR++ Checking the USB connection Trying a different USB port I've also checked the SDR++ forums and GitHub page, but I haven't been able to find any solutions.

I'm at my wit's end here. I'm hoping that someone in the community might have a solution for me. I would really appreciate any help that you can provide.

Thank you for your time.

Sorry!

I found the solution!

I was able to get my RTL-SDR v4 device working with SDR++ on macOS Sonoma 14.5 by following these steps:

  1. Open a Terminal window.
  2. Run the following command:
brew install libusb fftw glfw airspy airspyhf portaudio hackrf rtl-sdr libbladerf codec2 zstd
pip3 install mako

This will install all of the necessary dependencies for SDR++.

  1. Once the installation is complete, restart your computer.
  2. Launch SDR++.
  3. The RTL-SDR v4 device should now be listed in the Devices menu.
  4. Select the device and click the "PLAY" button.

SDR++ should now be able to detect and use the RTL-SDR v4 device.

I'm so happy that I was able to find a solution to this problem!

I hope this helps other people who are having the same issue.

No you're not supposed to have to do that... I don,'t know what's wrong, I don't have a modern mac, but this is definitely not the solution. What build of SDR++ are you running?

SDR++ 1.2.0.

Maybe the USB-C cable has a contact fault.

But now, everything ok!
