Thanks Dominic.  The two programs that  I can get some kind of audio signal 
with static are:  SDR# and HDSDR.  SDR-Radio hasn't worked yet at all.  I'll 
get together some screenshots of the settings...I'm also going to get some 
other soundcard in order to see if a new soundcard/driver correct the problem.  
I'm getting the new soundcard because I have had this type of problem with the 
Winradio G315e before which was fixed with modified driver settings.

David

Hi David,

We're happy to provide tech support through this mailing list; I'm sure we'll 
be able to help you.

Are you using SDR# on your Win7 install?  Could you give us some examples of 
the settings you are using?  If it's easier, you can attach a screenshot of the 
setting panel in SDR# (or whichever tool you're using).  You could also attach 
a screenshot of the tool so that we can see how strong the signal is compared 
to the background noise.

One option would be to try not using realtime processing.  Capture ~20 seconds 
FM station to a file, then demodulate it from the file afterwards.  Finally, 
you should be able to play back the file as audio.  If it's a problem with the 
quality of the signal being received, the output will still be choppy, but if 
the output is smooth we can look at where else things may be going wrong.

It certainly looks like you have enough CPU power and RAM to support the task 
that you're trying to do, so we'll have to narrow down where the problem could 
be.

Thanks,
  Dominic
