Hello! Can I use my radio iq output from a sound card? I have tried entering the audio device name but that does not work. In my case the device name is “iMic USB audio” on a Mac. Also, doc says device must support 96 ksps but iMic can only run at 44 k. Could this be the problem?

Thanks, 73, Elwood, WB0OEW

Only the devices listed under supported hardware can be used:
http://gqrx.dk/supported-hardware

So, no generic soundcard input.

from 2014, many new versions of GQRX (and thank you for that ) but, so we still cannot select the sound card as IQ input, it hard to implement ?

Short answer is no. You might find QUISK to be more useful for your purposes. See https://www.james.ahlstrom.name/quisk/docs.html.
