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: https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io/issues/797 But here is an working report: https://github.com/AlbrechtL/welle.io/issues/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.
