SDRPlay: failed to start rx mode - RSP1A - Ubuntu 1804 - URH 2.8.8 #796

Expected Behavior

Connected SDRplay RSP1A (working in GNUradio 3.7.11 and CubicSDR) on Ubuntu (virtual client) in Windows10 Oracle VirtualBox host. Want to do a first record of a signal.

Actual Behavior

SDRPlay: CONNECTED DEVICES: RSP 255 (19xxxxxx96) SDRPlay-SET DEVICE NUMBER to 0: FAIL (1) SDRPlay: Skipping antenna selection for RSP1 device SDRPlay-Start RX MODE with FREQUENCY=433920000.0 SAMPLE_RATE=2100000.0 BANDWIDTH=2100000.0 GAIN=29 IF_GAIN=450: HARDWARE ERROR (7) SDRPlay: failed to start rx mode

Steps To Reproduce

Install URH on Ubuntu, connect a previously installed RSP1A via USB and Run

Tried with different IF_Gain =0 but I doubt that is an issue

Tried with setting to GNUradio instead of native Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/urh/dev/gr/scripts/sdrplay_recv.py", line 10, in import osmosdr ImportError: No module named osmosdr

Platform Specifications

I do not have a RSP1A so I cannot give support for this specific device. Just tested my RSP 2 on Arch Linux and it works fine. Could you post the complete log when making a capture (the one when starting URH from command line).

I checked this again: SoapySDRUtil -probe=sdrplay And was amazed to find: ######################################################

Soapy SDR -- the SDR abstraction library

######################################################

Probe device sdrplay

-- Device identification

driver=PlutoSDR hardware=ADALM-PLUTO etc

A mix of finding a SDRplay and using the Pluto driver for this? Including stating it has a Tx channel.

So I removed the SoapySDRPlay directory and reinstalled from git.

Now it works SDRPlay: CONNECTED DEVICES: RSP 255 (1903175996) SDRPlay-SET DEVICE NUMBER to 0: Success SDRPlay: Skipping antenna selection for RSP1 device SDRPlay-Start RX MODE with FREQUENCY=433920000.0 SAMPLE_RATE=2100000.0 BANDWIDTH=1000000.0 GAIN=29 IF_GAIN=450: Success SDRPlay: successfully started rx mode SDRPlay-SET_IF_GAIN to 1,62K: Success SDRPlay-SET_IF_GAIN to 450: Success SDRPlay-SET_RF_GAIN to 54: Success
