So, how would I select a USB sound card dongle as my input?

My setup is a BCD996T remotely monitored via Proscan. Proscan uses the regular laptop microphone input. I have the radio tapped and a separate audio line from the tap to one of the small USB type sound cards.

I would like to be able to run Proscan for regular audio and decode TRBO via the tap. While monitoring that over Teamserver.

How to change to microphone?

You need to specify to us what operating system you are using.

Linux: dsd -i <input audio device> -o <output audio device>
- ex: dsd -i /dev/audio -o /dev/audio
- ex: dsd -i /dev/dsp -o /dev/dsp

It all depends upon what audio devices you have

Windows: DSD Windows binaries [aka DSD4Win as somebody suggested it be called] are set to use the default recording and default playback devices. You can't switch via a command in DSD.

For your version of Windows, go into Control Panel --> Sound (or Control Panel --> Sound-related-choice). There will be a tab where you can set the default input device and the default output device.

In Win7 it's Control Panel --> Sound --> Playback | Recording
- highlight whichever playback | recording device you want to be default and click "Set Default"

In Windows XP it's Control Panel --> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Audio
- choose your default Sound Recording and Sound Playback devices

hello
and 'dsd can use the serial port of the bcd996xt?
I have set the parameters-C com port 6 and the parameter is accepted and the program starts normally but if I wanted to use it as a DMR or other protocol needs to be done because the signal is not output on the screen?
I hope I explained myself .. and my suspicion 'that the com6 is over the limit accepted even if the select ..
Tips?
thanks
