Why is my audio so choppy?

Could be any number of things - poor signal, interference, too much gain, not enough gain. Watch your DSDPlus console output while it's decoding and see if you're receiving many errors. Make sure your console output verbosity is not set to 0 so you can see it. Adjust your SDR's gain appropriately to help correct it. If it's a far away signal or there is interference in the way, there may be nothing to help it.
ok what is verbosity in dsdplus? i will look to see what it's set at. and the dsdplus console output is that in the command prompt screen or the event log screen?
You can set the console log verbosity in the Misc tab.
Command prompt
How close are you to the tx site(s) you're bringing in? What are you using for an antenna? Is your noise floor high & how do your wave forms look? How is your gain set? Many different factors to spotty decodes

Do you have any priorities turned on?

I had this problem. I kept moving the antenna around until things smoothened out. Antenna ended up on the windowsill 15 feet from the computer. I live 3/4ths of a mile from comms center pretty close to see signals on the repeater input frequencies.
If you are nearby tall buildings, then the signals suffer diffraction and refraction. That's not nice for digital. Have to get the antenna positioned in the right spot. That requires doing it by ear. Don't be surprised if the cleanest decodes from where the antenna ends up in a spot you don't want the antenna.
More on diffraction and refraction:
Reflection, refraction, diffraction, and scattering
Reflection When a wave hits a smooth object that is larger than the wave itself, depending on the media, the wave may bounce in another direction. As a wave radiates from an antenna, it broadens an…

I played around with the verbosity in misc it's set a default of 3 ...what exactly does verbosity do as far as the choppy audio?

Nothing at all. Verbosity = amount of info displayed in the event log window
Ok i guess i misunderstood ...besides my choppy audio being from th type antenna or distance/obstacles in my way what can i do that is software related to improve my signal in dsdplus ?
And i noticed that signals that doesn't show NEXEDGE or P25 or DMR they are not recorded is they're a way to record those such as FM?
Sorry, misread your question. I think the option to record analog audio would be Output > Start Source Audio Recording
I have that already set and stuff like this Video doesn't record. and other channels like it doesn't record. u might have to maximize the video to see it all.
Ok i don't need it to continuous record just record the traffic like the P25 stuff does
Pretty sure you'll need a third party app for that, a few are discussed on this thread...
I tried all of those listed none of them seem to work with dsdplus... i really just wanted dsdplus to record them itself if that's not a option that is fine
Maybe you can help with this. This Video is a problem that i have and nothing takes it away, from day, i have pretty much figured out it only happens due to this one freqs 152.6825 because when i'm not near that freqs the problem doesn't happen so my conclusion is because that freqs is to strong. Is there any way besides a notch filter that could fix this? and thank you

Analog already is interoperable.
DSD+ has a couple different recording options, so you have to decide which one/what you're trying to record. See p. 79:
Have you checked your CPU usage? If its any where above 80% things wont sound good. Reduce the sample rate and see if that helps
