Sounds like you are volunteering for the new semi-automatic Cygwin installer script I wrote and also the Cygwin DSD-FME installer script. Details can be found here. Its literally just copy, paste, click next a few times, and wait while it all comes together.

If you get the full Cygwin environment installed and DSD-FME compiled with that script, making changes to relevant c files and rebuilding is as simple as opening the build folder and running make install. There are also scripts available to update the source code from the repo and rebuild, and another script that will copy and paste all the relevant files to a portable release folder and zip it up for you so you can effectively make your own 'release' now, so I won't have to.
Greetings,
i followed your instructions and I think everything was installed, I see the Cygwin64 Terminal shortcut, but when i open the terminal, i see muell@DESKTOP-H63P9S3, now what do I do?

Typically, at that point, you could just run dsd-fme , really just depends on what specifically you are trying to do. There should be a plethora of example commands to run to monitor and/or trunk various system types and so on in the dsd-fme/examples folder, but if you give us an idea what you might want to do maybe somebody here can get you started.

Well, does any sound play at all on your computer from any other software?

If not, then sounds like you don't have an audio driver installed, or no headphones or speakers plugged in, or similar. Not sure how to advise on that, its more of a general Windows issue.

Conversely, if you can be specific about a system in particular you might want to listen to or monitor, including a radio reference database link to it, what SDR hardware you have, and so on, then it might be easier to get you going other than just starting up dsd-fme. Typically, you would pass arguments to dsd-fme to tell it what hardware or input to use, what to expect to decode, channel listings if applicable, and so on to decode a system in general, which again, there is a plethora of examples available regarding those as well. There is on GUI, so no point and click. Not having an audio out device isn't a deal breaker by itself, its just what that message is telling you on start up.

Got'ca my friend
I have DSD-FME installed on my remote Windows 11 machine in another room in the house. I 'm using RDC (remote desktop connection) to connect. The only audio device is "remote audio" when you RDC. I have no problems with audio when using DSD+, SDRTrunk, P25RXII
Dang, I really wanted to learn about DSD-FME. Thank you for your help thou, really appreciate it.

Again, not having an audio device due to the RDC connection or otherwise isn't in and of itself a deal breaker. Could be a simple toggle switch somewhere on the connection client. Its been a good decade or more since I've used RDC particularly. Not sure why it isn't being picked up through Cygwin.

If you aren't willing to troubleshoot the issue or try things, or give information on what you want to do specifically with dsd-fme, I don't know how to help you in this case. Its like showing up, asking for help at the most vague of levels, offering no information when asked, have no specific questions to ask, and then deciding its not going to work for you almost immediately. I don't mean to be rude, but, if you want to learn about dsd-fme, the best bet is to do the reading which is abundant on the Github page, as it always is, and not be so willing to give up immediately. I feel like my stuff gets a bad rep a lot of times because of situations just like this, and others will read this without being familiar with dsd-fme or having tried it and straight up decide its not going to work for them without testing it out for themselves.

Anyways, sounds like you already have a few solutions in place that work for you, my advice in this case, is to just keep using those if they work for you.

wow, I certainly did not expect this, but with all due respect, I thanked you for your reply and help. I'm not asking for you to remote on to my PC and do all the work. I followed your instructions and everything looked pretty straight forward.
What I'm wanting to do is ultimately monitor a P25 system and view the CC and get audio. But please do not include me with those who give DSD-FME a bad rep. I do not think I deserve that weight, wow!

Agin Iwvmobile, I thank you for your help today. Have a good evening.
