I just had my feed approved today and am working on getting the software all setup and getting my scanner connected properly. I'm running into a couple questions however. I'm planning on using the scannercast software. When connecting my scanner to the computer, should I be connecting with the Whistler USB programming cable hooked to the PC port on the front of the scanner, an audio cable from the headphone or ext. speaker jack to the microphone jack on the computer or both?
When connecting with an audio cable through the mic jack I seem to get a poor quality feed with lots of static and noise. I tried connecting through the USB jack and if I remember correctly the audio was coming through but it was also picking up room noise through the built-in mic on the laptop. The other issue I'm having is with using just the USB my scanner speaker is the broadcasting the sound to the room which I would prefer to not have happening.
Sorry, I know these are probably pretty basic questions but it's the first I've setup this type of scanner for online feeds.
