What sample rate are you using?  Overruns are caused by the host system not
keeping up with the amount of data being passed to it by the HackRF.  Try
reducing the sample rate to see if things improve.

with is kind of post, but when I got introduced to SDR I thought I will
spend exciting evening to explore this new interest. But my experience is
just ending with allot of OOOOOOOOOOOO or aUaUaUaU !!!! I read allot about
what could be the reasons that is either the double clock or my sound card
is not able to handle the sampling rates , etc…..but so far not able to
solve the challenge. I just got my new MacBook Pro with good configurations
and the sound card is configured to handle 44.1Khz. I did upgrade the
Hackrf firmware to 2017-02-1 package. I am using gnuradio and my macport
should take care of the updating to the latest ver. But again I do not seem
to be able to hear even a simple FM station just noisy rains ☹
