We have a Tetra decoding plugin that works directly in SDR# (No virtual audio cables, or anything like that, needed)

Is there a similar option for other digital modes?

For example DMR.

I'm thinking, since it's possible to do with Tetra, it should be possible with other modes as well.
But googling have returned nothing.

Thanks

Most folks use SDR# with DSD+ with VB cable to decode an array of formats including DMR.

As an example I use the SDR+ fast scanner plugin and direct the audio to DSD+ fastlane with the -m1 switch which passes analog audio or decodes digital, whichever is scanned out to the speakers.

There is a DSD+ plugin for SDR# but I find using my method to be superior.

Yes, an option that automatically switches to analog and digital, as needed, so both modes could be heard interchangeably without user-interaction, would be much preferred.

However, without the need for software like virtual audio cable (and the audio-driver conflicts it can create)

The tetra-plugin is perfect that way. It's all integrated into SDR#.
The only 'problem' with that plugin is that it only does tetra.

I'm sure DSD+ is good (it's obviously widely used), it's just not an option on my system. So I'm looking for a dedicated plugin for SDR#.

The dedicated plugin is a DSD+ plugin

Mixed analog/digital scanning using an rtlsdr dongle or Airspy with no virtual audio cables required is already built in to DSD+. It may not be an option for the OP, but for the rest of us, just sayin...

using network options in a dsdplus batch file seems to have better latency over using virtual cables. The difference isn't much

So DSD+ can be loaded as a plugin directly in SDR# and no other software is needed?

All the tutorials I found via google say you need virtual-audio-cable to route the audio from SDR# to DSD+, but if they're superseded by a new method that might be the solution I'm looking for.

Is there a web-page where I can read how this new method is supposed to be set up? As said; I can only find descriptions that mention a need for a virtual-audio driver.

As far as I know, you still need the VAC to pipe the
data to the plugin. I could be wrong, but i am using
the latest version of SDRsharp, Virtual Audio Cable,
DSD Plus, and the DSD Plus plugin for SDRsharp.
I set the output device (in SDR#) as Line 1 VAC
and the Input (in the DSD plugin) and it works fine
