Does anyone know how to this program to work with new RTL V4 dongle
welle ioRTL Dongle not working

I have the same problem. He finds a lot of stations, but he only plays the respective station briefly and then there is silence. (interruption)

Have you tried with a manual gain setting?

Unfortunately there is no setting option for this. At least I didn't find it. It finds a lot of channels (depending on the antenna) but no matter what you enter in the expert setting, it doesn't work correctly. As if the reception was too weak. I have at least 18 channels directly in my area. With SDR V3 or V5 it works for me.

It seems that the RTL V4 creates some trouble.

Here is another non-working report: #797
But here is an working report: #793

BlogV4_
welle-io_andriod1
welle-io_android2
welle-io_android3

The snapshots above are from my android device.

Works perfectly for me.

The key is to go to .....
"expert settings" and enable "expert mode".

*** Make sure "Enable course corrector" is active. ***

I only have the Blog V4 dongles and they all work perfectly!
Have it working on all devices .... macbook, pc, android.

For android devices, I prefer welle-io to sdrangel (android), as there's stuttering on sdrangel (android) .

Thanks for reporting. I updated the rtlsdr library. Can you try that latest developer version https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io/actions/runs/10662651268/artifacts/1881000078, please.

Deleted the old version I had and installed latest dev. version.
working well for me ..

fyi .. the android version dated 20240830 gives the following error on android13
SmartSelect_20240902_103230_Package installer

Strange, I also can't install this version on Android 9

Thanks for the feedback

@rkarikari, @andimik Regarding the Android version open a new issue please.

The new RTLSDR Windows driver will be included in the upcoming 2.5 release.

Unfortunately, have had to replace the rtl-sdr driver again because of this issue rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog#56.

In this https://welle-io-nightlies.albrechtloh.de/20241008_ee183ef7_Windows_welle-io-setup_x64.exe unstable build the latest original rtlsdr driver is included. Can you test again, please?
