Where do you have your soundcard level set? Set it at the 75% point or
a bit higher.
One "eccentricity" of the KX3 is that *if* the audio input is too high
the KX3 will protect the audio input by shutting it down. Start with the
MIC GAIN at a low level and bring it up slowly until you find the point
where you have 4 bars solid on the ALC meter. If the mic gain setting
is at a rediculously low level, you can add some attenuation in the
audio cable - 100k in series and 10k across the line at the K3 end will
give you about a 10x reduction in input to the KX3.
Instead of using USB mode, use DATA A - it is almost the same thing, but
compression is automatically turned off and the equalization is
automatically set to flat. That leaves your SSB settings intact when
you go back to voice.

I've used that in my set-up of app and rig, but no go. I might be missing
something simple as a K3S newbie. With USB as mode, and VOX enabled, perhaps
Tx is not enabled? When the app goes to Tx, or it do a Tune from the app,
the K3S Red TX LED comes on, but ALC doesn't budge.
