I have just received my version 4 dongle, and it does not seem to get along with DSD plus.
After downloading the drivers, I get an error message saying I have a checksum error with rtlsdr.dll
Any help would be appreciated.

DSD+ Fastlane from v2.268 decided to force the checksum test on a few of the 3rd party library/drivers.
See post here about it.
This was done to ensure the correct 'versions' of the support file are used.

This sadly locks in the use of these 'versions' of these files and there is nothing you can do about it.
It will require DSD+ to provide an update to the rtlsdr.dll library to include the handling of the different tuner that is in the v4 dongle.

You can try and contact them about it, but I'm not sure if anyone has been getting replies from them recently.
Might be time for people to ensure they have backups of the latest DSD+ Fastlane package and it's base files.

The sky is falling. If you send them an email, they get it and read it. They might not reply, but that doesn't mean they are AWOL.
