Yeah, when the client was developed, it was developed essentially for pilots. And nearly all of our pilots use microphones/headsets. I can’t speak for the developer, but I assume perhaps the thought of people thinking about using vPilot for Observer-only connections either came later, or was/is low priority compared to ease of use for pilots who want to use a microphone/headset. I know @887155 you’re working other priorities these days, but I wonder if “can use vpilot without a microphone devi…

And I guess the only workaround is to either connect a physical mic/headset after all (and just leave it aside), or better yet create a virtual one, or use swift which doesn’t seem to have such a restriction (it works perfectly well without any input device).
