Unzipped Zefies' version of Dream 2.2 in it's own folder, uninstalled Ncap and re installed it, and now Dream seems to want to work, (now to wait for Radio Marti later to test). Note, something when installing Ncap made it try to install it twice, happened both times I installed it, let it install twice the first try and aborted the attempt on the second try, Don't know if that made a difference, but I thought I'd note it. and THANK YOU!!!!

Ok, a further update. Tried a cheat to overthrow the "crash on changing input" by opening up the INI file and manually inputting the choice I wanted, hit "save" and it seemed to take. Choice is now correct, Ive got a good waterfall, and it ID'd the station and parameters once, but still no audio. Signal is not great, I've got a 6.6 DB SNR and the MSC CRC is not lit. How much signal do I need to get decoding started?

GOT IT!!! Found a stronger signal elsewhere and it's working! Signal not outstanding but good enough, some occasional digital stuttering but the station is staying locked, no crashing. Decode is aac, will see later how it handles other modes. If I minimize Dream and then click on the taskbar, it seems to start another instance of Dream as opposed to bringing it up. Thanks all, and especially you, Zefie, for getting me through this!! (Now what to do the rest of the layoff?)

Well, another update. Band conditions are good and I found a signal to play with. With SDRuno set to line out (virtual cable) and with the digital button clicked and the bandwidth set at 12k, Dream seemed to be reading the signal (it identified it for location and signal type), even though input is still default. I thought it had to come in on the virtual cable to do this, am I routing stuff wrong?

Okay, an update from me. Downloaded and installed 2.1, think I got it running correctly, but no audio out. The only strong signal was Radio Marti, which uses the xHE-AAC codeec, which is probably why I heard nothing. So, onto plan B (or more like Preperation H at this point). Downloaded and installed the Visual Studio components that now show I have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable in there. Downloaded and intstalled Ncap. Downloaded Zefies' RAR file, then downloaded and installed...
