I have Winlink Express running quite happily on a laptop, talking to a K3S thru 
the K3S’s USB cable.  I configured Winlink Express on an older desktop, and it 
did not play with the same K3S - although the Winlink Express can (e.g., using 
VARA) transmit a signal; it “hears” nothing.  The USB Codec Microphone, which 
is how the K3S’s audio shows up on the PC, has sound - I can “listen” to it 
using the Windows ability to listen to a sound input device. But, none of the 
Winlink Express modems running on the desktop can hear any audio.

 

Oddly, FLDIGI works just fine on the laptop and the desktop.

 

Finally, after some more poking around, I got it to work.  The magic was to 
change the “Allow apps to access your microphone” setting in the Sound settings 
page to On.  This setting appears in the “Microphone privacy settings” and I 
completely ignored it for more than a couple days!

 

 

Go to Settings/Sound.

 

Click on “Microphone privacy settings”.

 

Make sure “Allow apps to access your microphone” is “On”. Also, make sure the 
“Allow desktop apps to access the microphone” setting further down this page is 
“On”.  This is what was preventing my Winlink Express app from working.
