[digitalradio] Peek-a-boo sound devices
I use an internal sound card for ham operations and an external sound device , in the form of USB speakers, for routine PC/Internet work including DX announcements via Spotcollector. This works well except that every know and again ham applications that have been working well via the internal sound device all of a sudden have their settings switched and the sound for transmission gets sent to my speakers rather than to the rig. I can't figure out what triggers this? Sometimes Multipsk, Winwarbler, and WSJT, just tell me that USB AUDIO is set for my transmitted audio even though I had manually set it for the other device. It seems that is connected with changes I may make, like unplugging and then plugging in the USB speakers if I need to borrow the USB ports for something else for a few minutes. I have missed few QSOs when caught by surprise with the wrong xmit card. Ideas ?
Re: [digitalradio] Peek-a-boo sound devices
Andy, I have also found that Windows will reassign USB ports if anything is plugged in or unplugged. My solution was to set the default sound system to the onboard system and use USB for the ham devices, such as the SignaLink USB. The problem is especially troublesome when I plug my WebCam microphone in and out. If you use Skype, it will also grab your microphone. Sorry, that I don't have a foolproof solution for you., but offer you comfort in misery! ;-) 73, Skip KH6TY Andrew O'Brien wrote: I use an internal sound card for ham operations and an external sound device , in the form of USB speakers, for routine PC/Internet work including DX announcements via Spotcollector.
