Is it a HackRF you're using? And which operating system?

What's the device ID you're seeing? You can find it in Device Manager by expanding Universal Serial Bus Controllers and opening the USB Composite Device (there might be more than one). Go to the Details tab and look for the Hardware IDs option in the dropdown menu.

Under Windows, a genuine FL2K should show in Device Manager as USB\VID_1D5C&PID_2000. A lot of VGA adapters now are using the Macrosilicon chipset instead (USB\VID_534D&PID_6021), which is not compatible with the FL2K drivers.

Perfect, so you need to use Zadig (https://zadig.akeo.ie/) to change the driver attached to the device.

When you run Zadig, go to the Options menu, select "List All Devices" and deselect "Ignore Hubs or Composite Parents". In the dropdown, select "USB Composite Device (Composite Parent)" and ensure that the listed USB ID is correct (1D5C:2000), so you're targeting the correct device. The dropdown above the "Replace Driver" button should show WinUSB, change it if it doesn't. Click "Replace Driver", it will prompt if you're sure that you want to modify a system driver. Click Yes and it should be good to go.

I should probably add that to the getting started guide!
