I realize this can be tough for a lot of folks since it requires access to either a service monitor, or a modulation meter and FM signal generator, but it’s worth the effort. Unity gain is a good thing on networked systems. Ask around your local ham community, there’s probably somebody who knows someone with test gear willing to help.

If you are taking de-emphasized audio off the receiver, then your USB sound should be set to deemphasis=no. If not de-emphasized (i.e. raw discriminator) audio is used, then deemphasis=yes.
