microphones as they generally run much higher "mic gain" levels which increases sensitivity at the

1.10 Realtek sound card drivers and MK2R+'s USB Voice CODEC
1.10.1 One soundcards installed (only Realtek)
This screenshot file explains how to get around a problem caused by some Realtek sound card
drivers (used for Realtek and some Soundmax cards and onboard audio components) when trying to
use the MK2R+'s USB Voice CODEC. I know this sounds nuts (after all, the MK2R+ uses its own
sound cards, right?), but bear with me.
Certain sound cards and motherboard sound card components made by Realtek and Soundmax
(which uses the Realtek drivers) prevent proper operation of features such as on−the−fly recording of
DVK messages. There's a lot of magic here about ID numbers and such, but instead of getting into
that, here are some easy step−by−step screenshots to get you going.
If you have this problem, the usual symptom is that N1MM will record an empty file when you try to
record with Ctrl+Shift+Fx.
First, in N1MM logger, go to the Audio tab in Config|Ports,other
Select the USB Voice CODEC as the Device. The only inputs it has are Microphone. Don't worry
about the Radio Input Port − N1MM can't currently record QSOs with the Audio CODEC anyhow. Just
set it up like this.
Now open Windows Control Panel, and select the Sounds and Audio Devices tab.
