Audio device for CW monitor?

Options
Is there an audio device registered in Windows that carries the CW sidetone? I am trying to record with OBS and can't get the sidetone into the audio without just putting a mic by my speaker.

    You should be able to click on PC Audio in the upper right corner of SmartSDR and then record the audio being sent to your PC speaker using Audacity.

    PC Audio brings receiver audio to the PC and is useful for remote operation (even just to the next room...). CW side tone does not get routed to the PC because of latency through the Windows operating system. If you tried to send code using paddles or a key, it would be nearly impossible due to the delay through the PC. So the direct answer to the question is "No".

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
