I use a Soundblaster SB1095 sound card. It plugs into USB and you use a
stereo 3.5 mm cable to connect to the Softrock Ensemble. You can still get
the SB1095 from various places.
I think Rocky is one of the favorite software programs for the Softrock
SDR's. But it also works with HDSDR.

You can use it couple different ways , standalone , or as a panadapter. In
either case you need a stereo sound card with a flat response curve .
M-Audio cards seem to work the best but they are out of production and need
the older PCI slot. The higher the sampling rate the better. You can use
most any I and Q spectrum software , but not all will control the Softrock
for standalone. If your using it as a panadapter you can just set it with
the softrock software to a frequency close to your receivers IF frequency ,
Ideally the software your using will allow you to set an offset . Of
course as panadapter you connect it to your receiver's IF out.
There are several spectral display programs available , most of the ones I
've seen are based on GNU Radio , or you can roll your own with GR. You can
also try Quisk and Rocky.
