Error on setup RTL-SDR (Error code -12)
显示 更早的评论
I found this error when i try to setup my RTL-SDR on my PC. I use this same RTL-SDR on a laptop and works properly, indeed, i can use SDRsharp on this same PC and works.
When i try to setup on Matlab Hardware Setup, if fails on search ad connect and that error code -12 is displayed in the command window. I dont know what to do.
Thank you

I found the fix after hours of scouring the Internet!
Install zadig -> Run it as administrator
In Options Check List All Devices >> Uncheck Ignore Hubs or Composite Devices
In drop down menu select the device saying RTL2838UHIDIR >> Click Replace Driver
Voila!

Hi Edwin,
I tried the method you mentioned and it didn't seem to fix my error code -12 issue. Did you happen to come across any other tips? I'm coming up blank right now. I can get my RTL to run using the SDRSharp software, but Matlab doesn't seem to want to communicate with it.

very useful solution! really works. Great appreciated
If you're using an RTL-SDR v4, what worked for me is updating the dongle driver inside the files for Mathworks's Communications Toolbox Support Package for RTL-SDR Radio after having already gone through the RTL-SDR v4 Quick Start Guide. In particular, I'm on Windows 11 x64, and I just replaced rtlsdr.dll at the following locations with the x64 version of the new driver:
- C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2025a\toolbox\shared\sdr\sdrr\bin\win64\rtlsdr.dll
- C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2025a\3P.instrset\rtlsdrradio.instrset\rtl-sdr\lib\win64\rtlsdr.dll
- C:\ProgramData\MATLAB\SupportPackages\R2025a\3P.instrset\rtlsdrprecompiledlib.instrset\lib\rtlsdr.dll
I got my copy of the new driver from the SDR# x64 installation; note that I had to run "install-rtlsdr.bat" for the installer to download the driver first. You can also download the new driver for Windows/Linux/Mac at https://github.com/rtlsdrblog/rtl-sdr-blog.
