This is the official Broadcastify.com Live Audio suggested method to connecting your radio and computer for a reliable and good quality audio feed. There may be other connection methods but some of them do not work reliably and may deliver poor results over time.
These instructions assume that the radio has a mono 1/8’ mini connector for the line or headphone output and the computer has a standard sound card with stereo 1/8’ mini connectors.
Best audio from the scanner to the computer is via a line or record output and with this use of correct cable types.
The radio will most likely have a mono 1/8” mini jack for either line (Record) out or headphone out.
Some think that you can use a stereo cable connected to these mono outputs on the radio and all will be OK. The truth is, this is not always correct. This may work on some systems and not other systems. Or it may work for a while and fail.
Not all mono or stereo jacks are created the same. There can be differences between manufactures that can cause a working situation to stop working over time.
There is a difference in a mono connection and a stereo connect. The best set up there for is to keep the mono side mono and the stereo side stereo and use correct mono to stereo cables or adaptors as needed. This will help avoid the following audio related problems: no audio, poor audio, distorted and dropping audio etc.
