Where do you all want problems with audio and receiving posted? I am having issues with geting started with sdr-console due to audio/interfence issues... I am using a Nooelec SMArt XTR on a HP SPectre laptop and can't even get basic local FM stations due to the heavy chop sounds.

where should I post
Re: where should I post
A screen shot (un-edited) showing the DSP panel settings would help tremendously!
Having said that, you may be new to SDR-Console.
First, for FM broadcast, you need to be in the FM BC mode (FM Broadcast) for optimum filter width. There are a few FM modes with SDRC, FM Narrow, FM Wide, and FM Broadcast.
Also, be mindful of the frequency readout. As a sysop of 20 SDRs on 6 seperate SDRC Servers, I see newbee's struggle in reading the frequency. See attached image of 99.5MHz and how it's displayed in the frequency window of the DSP. I see folks thinking they're monitoring 14300kHz (Intercon/Maritime Mobile net) when they are really on 1.4300GHz.
It helps to know where the decimal place is when dealing with MHz! You can also place the mouse anywhere in the waterfall or bandscope and just start typing a frequency. Or, using a scrolling type mouse, hover over the frequency digit you wish to change in the DSP window and scroll... or left click on the bar above or below the digit that appears to go up or down in frequency.
One photo is of 9395KHz, WRMI of Lake Okeechobee, FL USA with good music after 0200z along with 5050, 5085, 5095KHz.
Another photo is of 990kHz WDCX of Rochester, NY USA
All images are just showing what the frequency looks like in the DSP window properly.
