New install, SDRPlay not recognized

So, I went through the step-by-step install (Win 10, 64 bit) and no errors along the way. However when I plug in the SDRPlay, the system never sees it (I'd expect to see it in Device Manager's Audio In/Out) but it never shows. Nor does HDSDR see it as an audio device.

What should I be looking for?

The RSP will not appear as a sound card device. If the device has been installed correctly it will show in the Sound, Video and Game Controller section of the Device Manager.

For HDSDR you also need the EXTIO plugin from our Windows page (http://www.sdrplay.com/windows.html) - with that installed in the HDSDR installation directory, when you start HDSDR the EXTIO button will be a pale blue colour, then press START (or F2) but do not use the green triangle play button.

Best regards,

SDRplay Support

KenHorse, I suggest you start with SDRuno. It brings the SDRPlay driver and all you need. Enjoy, John.

Thanks! I already had the EXTIO installed but didn't notice the button in HDSDR. It's all working now (now to get it going with MAP65 and I'll be a happy camper)

I'm curious if you ever got MAP65 working with the SDRPlay.

Hi Lloyd

Sure, it was easy once I got the driver installed correctly. However, I really didn't find that the SDRPlay worked any better than my current FuncubePro+ so I ended up returning it to HRO (where I bought it).

Thanks, that's good info. I think the Funcube is the way to go. I've never heard about any big issues with it. Particularly with overload.

Not to mention the FCD+ has I/Q output whereas the SDRPlay does not
