Have you checked RTTY in N1MM Logger?

To receive digital audio you need the cable going from the
"Soundcard In" jack of microKEYER to the "mic in" jack on
the computer. The "soundcard "mic" jack routes the microphone
through the soundcard for DVK operation.

You won't since you're not getting Line Out audio to the
computer. Connect the computer "mic in" to the "Soundcard In"
jack on the microKEYER.

You're probably using FSK D instead of AFSK A or DATA A. DM780
does not support FSK.
