                                 14.233 (another good one)

3. Hold transmitter microphone up to Soundcard speaker and transmit SSTV.
DO NOT USE AUDIO COMPRESSION!
You will get some room echo in the picture but immediate results are hard to argue with or you can try using good quality headphones (over the ear type) instead of the Computer speakers and press the mic into the earcups  to eliminate room background noise and adjust the volume from computer audio as needed for proper modulation.
(about half the output of your hf rig)
Remember........... SSTV IS FULL DUTY CYCLE,
so if your rig runs 100 watts on ssb, then cut audio back to about 50 watts with computer volume control.

There you have it!
