Error on Mac OS High Sierra

naptoon commented 5 years ago

I have the USB device connected to my Mac and started the app. When I click on Start I only get an error. I installed librtlsdr with homebrew and started again. Now I get this error and don't know how to get it run:

Found 1 device(s):

Sorry I didn't see this earlier. Can you check you have enough power going to the USB device? Do you have a powered USB hub you can test it in?

madhungarian commented 4 years ago

I have this same issue. I have a powered hub that I try it in and still fails. OS X High Sierra on MBP with an RTL-SDR.com dongle. Everything was tested and working with gnu radio. (made a spectrum analyzer and a FM tuner)

mxswd commented 4 years ago

Which year MBP is it? I've got reports on it working on most of the MacBook Pros. I'm trying to isolate what could cause this.

MacBookPro7,1.... Core2 Duo Mid 2010

mxswd commented 4 years ago

How did you install GNU radio? Does it have a daemon that proxies the USB host? Or a kernel extension?

madhungarian commented 4 years ago

I used Kate Temkin's installer: https://github.com/ktemkin/gnuradio-for-mac-without-macports
