So what happens if you don't run Win4K3Suite? I run WSJT-X and nothing
else and have NO issues with audio, control, or Windows sound. I find
that WSJT-X handles everything that is needed, radio control, audio
control, and logging.
Conclusion: More software applications running = more issues and
problems to resolve.

Folks, this should be my final post here
on this but I think the information
applies to any of us who use the K3s Codec
with WSJT-X, maybe AFSK too, I haven't
researched that possibility.
A brief recap to the issue at hand: The
only way I could get WSJT-X to get the K3S
to transmit was if I selected the K3s
codec as default in windows. Doing so
transmitted computer/internet generated
sounds along with the WSJT-X signal. -
Doing the procedure below will resolve
this issue. Thanks to Peter, VK4JD who
does not use WSJT-X for pointing this
obscure setting out to me.
How difficult my signal was, and maybe
yours unknowingly to you, has to be to
decode..
Peter's suggestion below is perfect. I
wanted to find out the easiest way to
demonstrate this windows "feature". Here
is a URL that describes how to find this
page in windows 10. Not sure about earlier
versions of windows, I only have 10 now.

Now... Something I discovered: you must
have WSJT-X running to see the option in
this windows page!
When I went to the page, WSJT-X was not
showing and then I realized I was not
running it. I use Win4K3Suite so I started
that and then started WSJT-X. Moments
later the WSJT-X sound ap was showing.
Here is what it looks like in win 10:

When Peter's suggestion below led me to
this windows page, the WSJT-X output and
input were the windows default output and
input. I selected the USB codec and that
is what immediately stopped the K3s from
sending out superfluous audio with my WSJT
signal.
To be sure, both the WSJT-X and audio from
the computer were being sent out
simultaneously. Not windows sounds, those
have been off from day 1. I'm talking
about any sound from any web page or audio
ap that may be running without you hearing
it. In this case that caused me issues
with WSJT-X and the K3s, it was a youtube
video that was playing & I didn't know it.
I am posting this information to the
WSJT-X list but since it dealt with the
K3s, this answer also belongs here.
Perhaps it is the same with any external
card you use, as in the K3 with external
digital soundcard?
Hope you check your windows setting, you
might be surprised.

Peter,
Absolutely brilliant! I never have seen
this windows page or read about it, but it
absolutely did the trick. I now have an
alternate soundcard selected in windows
sound control panel and have WSJT-X
configured in App volume and device
preferences.
I have to experiment to be sure nothing
gets out sound-wise from the computer but
at first exposure, this looks to be dead
on.
How many others have not yet discovered
this!

G'day Gary,
This should work :
Run WSJT-X
Go to the system settings via the cog in the start menu.
Click on "System (Display, sound, notifications")
Click on "Sound"
Scroll down to "Other sound options" and click on "App volume and
device preferences".
Select WSJT-X from the list of displayed apps and select your USB
CODEC for both input and output.
Note that I don't use WSJT-X but that's how it's done for everything
else.
Cheers,
Peter VK4JD

Subject: [Elecraft] K3s can only transmit wsjt if the K3s codec is
windows default.
Folks,
I posted this on the WSJT-X reflector but
got no replies. Perhaps someone here has
the answer.
---------------
Using Windows 10... Joy...
I have WSJT-X set up to use the K3s USB
Audio Codec, input & output. Both are
selected as Mono.
The codec is selected in the computer.
I have found no way to get the K3s to
transmit unless the K3s USB codec is set
to default device in the computer.
If I have another soundcard/option
selected in the computer, the K3s will
indeed present transmit mode as WSJT-X
signals it to do, but there is no RF
generated from the K3s. It's Lights on,
nobody home. WSJT works fine but also
transfers any computer sound to the K3s
during transmit.
If nothing is playing on the computer and
the codec is selected as default, I have
no trouble with anything WSJT-X related.
This is how I have had to have it working
for the last 10 months. However, I
recently discovered a youtube was playing
on another page and that audio was coming
through with my WSJT transmission. This is
unacceptable.
Bottom line seems to be, I must have the
K3s USB codec selected as default in the
windows sound control panel or I cannot
transmit with WSJT-X.
There must be another something I'm
missing but I can't seem to find it.
Any suggestions?
73,
Gary
