Here is the actual Help on sound card adjustment:
The Requested sample rate, TX rate offset and RX rate offset allow you
to rectify any sample rate problems with your soundcard. Normally you
don't need to touch these but in case your soundcard doesn't support the
default rate of 8000 samples per second or if you know that it has some
sample rate offset, you can correct it separately for transmit and
receive. As an example of a bad case consider this: Your soundcard only
supports 11025 sps, but you know that it actually samples at 11020 sps
on transmit and 11035 on receive. In this case you should put 11025 to
the Requested sample rate box, (11020 - 11025) / 11025 * 1000000 =
-453.5 to the TX rate offset box and (11035 - 11025) / 11025 * 1000000 =
907 to the RX rate offset box. There are also options to enable 8 bit
sound, stereo sound and full duplex. Try 8 bit or stereo audio if you
get errors when gMFSK tries to open the sound device. Full duplex should
not be used unless it's the only option that works; it is unsupported
and generally a bad idea.
So you see what the Author says. If you KNOW your sound card is off,
you can fix it. I have not changed a single thing and mine works just great.
But if I changed to the built in sound card, it would require me to
measure it, and then set up gMFSK to use it. The motherboard sound card
is at 10,500 Hz.
