I second every bit of this. It's exactly how I do it.

All digital modes work just fine on a K3 in VOX mode. I've never used anything
else. Thus, the only need for a serial port is for logging software. I use
computer software to generate and decode all forms of digital signals. For
RTTY, use AFSK RTTY, set the baud rate in the rig the same as the in the
computer software, and set both computer and rig to the same tone frequencies.
For all other modes, use DIG A.
Things that can go wrong, in no particular order:
1) The sound card in your computer may be sending to the wrong channel, may
even be muted. Many programs manipulate the Windoze mixer, and sometimes fail
to put controls back where they found them. The N1MM Logger is notorious for
doing that.
2) If you have more than one sound card, the wrong one may be selected.
3) The Line Input gain may be too low, and/or the VOX Gain may be too low. The
Mic Gain pot becomes Line Input Gain in AFSK and DIG A modes.
