Thanks Bill, I always turn off windows sounds, they bother me when I'm concentrating on something. This issue deals with the stereo/mono audio as from youtube or some web page with streaming music/sounds that happened to be running. I couldn't hear the music/talk/noise from the computer and that got transmitted when I would transmit with WSJT-X, maybe with AFSK as well.
I always hear people's audio, words on WSJT, I must have been doing that too, I just couldn't hear it as I use a bluetooth dongle for listening to the computer & pull the dongle when I'm not listening to it. I have a feeling this is a very common issue and very few people know about this windows setting which just made all the difference with WSJT-X, 20+ years of using windows and this was the first I saw that page.
