Setting up audio profile with PC Gear - qmyyx - 11-04-2020
I am trying to set up an audio profile on my JK using Windows 10 Laptop. I had set up one profile using the Focuscite 2i2 audio interface and it worked beautifully but as I am trying to help other members in my musical group so I tried to set up a profile using headphones into the 3.5 mm jack on the laptop and using the onboard Microphone on the laptop itself.
I have tried setting input device to "Microphone Array 1 (Realtek HC Audio Mic input with SST) - WDM" and the Audio Output Device to "Speakers 1 (RealTek HD AHoudio output with SST) - WDM"
I then get an "Invalid Audio Device" Message. JK then cycles some sample rates and then I am stuck. Has anyone encountered this and might know of any good fixes.

Their drivers are not designed for low latency audio processing on Windows based hardware.

Using PC/laptop onboard sound card can be done! No question.
Question would be; 'would you want to'?
Answer; 'most probably not'
The quality is not going to be sufficient to seriously participate in a music session. For testing however it is perfectly fine.
I have an 'onboard gear' profile on both a MBP and two very different W10 machines which I use for testing purposes and aiding other jammers to get online.
Again, for participating in making music online, an external(in most cases) audio interface/sound card is strongly recommended.
