I'm using zadig v2.0.1.160 and sdrsharp version 1.0.0.1317.
With the only missing stop was to press the gear (config) icon and raise the VGA gain 3-6 stops. Then the play (start) icon.
The fastest signal to find is a local WFM radio station (search around 100Mh) and a bandwidth of 200,000.

I was finally able to get the sdr# working with mine. I was having the same problems with no signals appearing with the default settings. I went the pentoo route to verify the hardware was working and then went back to try to get it working in Windows with sdr#.
The configuration settings for HackRF in the GUI did not allow the enabling of the HackRFExternalAmp setting or the VGA and LNA gain settings. They are both greyed out in the GUI. I manually changed the settings in the SDRSharp.exe.Config file to the following and was able to successfully tune FM radio signals.
<add key="HackRFLNAGain" value="3" />
<add key="HackRFVGAGain" value="3" />
<add key="HackRFExternalAmp" value="True" />
Once thing I realized after doing this, is that the settings are not greyed out once you "Start" the acquisition of the signals in SDR#. You should be able to make modifications in the GUI after clicking start and then clicking on the gear options.
Hope this helps!

Thanks Mike
Will I need to make any edits to sdrsharp.exe configuration file?

You need the very latest sdr# from sdrsharp.com. It is particularly important that your hackrf.dll is up to date.

I hope this get fixed?wanted to start playing with hackrf more?I had the same problem with the prototype. Is there a good firmware customization guide. Maybe we can change the PNP id so they match for us windows haxor.
I do expect to see some sort of guide/tutorial in the linux GNU radio side too?

A lot of people appear to be using this out of date guide that tells them incorrectly to overwrite the hackrf.dll with one from November last year.

I should have been more clear, I could not get SDR# to connect with the

I'll keep in mind your configuration suggestions when I get SDR# to see my
board.
When running Pentoo the HackRF board was found with hackrf_info command

Hi,
You may need to click the configuration icon ( gear ) , and check ?Amp?
on, then set LNA(Low Noise Amplifier) gain and VGA(Variable Gain Amplifier)
to about 1/3 to the right.
Oh, you need to click the ?play? button first, or those slider and
checkbox would be grey.
Cheers,
scateu

I had problems getting SDR# running with HackRF also. I had been using
SDR#
with a RTL dongle for a while with no problems.
Is there a newer version of SDR# I should install that will work with
HackRF?
I just imaged Pentoo and have to learn GNU radio now. I was hoping to
bring HackRF up faster with SDR# that I am already familiar with.

Try running zadig with hackrf plugged in.
>From the Options menu, select List All Devices.
Select HackRF One from the drop-down menu.
Verify that the WinUSB driver is loaded on the left. If it isn't,
install it again now.
If all else fails, load up Pentoo.

I'm not sure my new HackRF One works.

Here is what I've done:
I attached the antenna to the antenna port.
I downloaded SDR#.
I installed SDR#.
I installed the driver by running zadig (the one from the sdrsharp
directory).
Plugged in the HackRF One.
Ran SDRSharp.
Configured source = HackRF, Radio = NFM. Then hit start.
Set the frequency to 89MHz.
I see a flat spectra spanning 86 to 96 MHz at -77. As I roll around
the spectrum I get nothing.
The HackRF leds are all lit except TX.
