Hi all,
I've recently set up a Broadcastify feed using my Uniden BC346XT scanner. The problem I'm running into occurs when I plug in a 1/8" audio patch cable between the scanner's headphone jack and my computer's line-in jack. When the scanner isn't playing anything, my computer recognizes that the line-in is connected. However, once the scanner starts playing audio from a channel, my computer displays "Line-in Disconnected" after about one second. When the audio stops and the scanner starts scanning again, my computer says that the line-in is connected again. The way that was able to get my feed to work right now was by plugging the audio cable only halfway into the headphone jack on my scanner. I've tried plugging in other audio sources, like my iPod, which work as expected. I've also tried other patch cables. It's only my BC346XT scanner that produces the problem. My computer is a 2008 Apple iMac running Windows 7 in Boot Camp. It appears that the audio driver is by RealTek.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can solve this "disconnecting" problem? I feel like leaving it halfway-unplugged in the scanner isn't a very good long-term solution as bumping it could disrupt the feed. Thanks!
