You might want to try running hackrf_info with superuser privileges using sudo, i.e. "sudo hackrf_info". Many/most peripherals require this in Linux by default.
Additionally, use of a VM may limit the sample rate you can achieve since there is some overhead passing through the USB connection. Consider installing Linux directly on your machine. > On Aug 3, 2022, at 6:12 AM, George Edwards <gedwards....@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hello GNURadio Community, > > I built a grc flowgraph in Gnuradio 3.9.5 on Ubuntu 20.04 inside Microsoft > VirtualBox.
