Perhaps the point of my original post has been missed. The only way I could get RF out of the K3s was to assign the K3s codec as my default in the sound settings. If I did not do this in the windows sound control panel, the K3s would go into transmit mode with WSJT-x but zero output.
Doing this allowed computer sounds to be transmitted with WSJT-X, maybe with AFSK. Yes, in the WSJT-X software I always had the K3s codec checked. Until I made this change in the windows app volume and device properties page 2 days ago, that was the only way I could transmit with WSJT-X. I cannot be the only person with this issue. This is not a trivial issue, we all want our signals to be clean and for months I had no idea I was occasionally transmitting garbage with my K3s. I'm sure others here are doing the same. 73, Gary KA1J > "Hope you check your windows setting, you might be surprised." > > No surprises here.
