If you have a K3s with the built in codecs that's not the case at all. It's its own independent audio device.
For original K3 radios and other earlier rigs without built-in USB audio, I recommend the Microham Microkeyer-II. It ran my Yaesu Mark V based shack for about 10 years, and I got the cables to let it handle my K3s for a while, but eventually I just simplified everything and I took the MK-II out of line and resorted to USB connectivity. Not a single problem since then. PC sounds, video, music, etc, go to the motherboard sound interface, and the rig sounds (digimodes in/out and DVK from the PC to the radio) via the separate USB interface built into the K3s. If you have a radio without the USB interface ping me off-list and maybe we can make a deal on my no-longer-needed MicroKeyer-II? - pjd -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of W6IPA Sent: Monday, June 15, 2020 5:47 PM To: Wes <wes_n...@triconet.org> Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Best Audio Interfaces 2020? The matter is that you will send all the OS sounds to that interface (because you have only one)- and at this point you need to chase all the notifications what will be sending sound, and you cannot watch youtube anymore :-) JC/W6IPA. > On Jun 15, 2020, at 2:31 PM, Wes <wes_n...@triconet.org> wrote: > > What's the matter with the internal soundcard in your computer? > > Wes N7WS > > On 6/15/2020 9:30 AM, Eric KG6MZS wrote: >> Hello All, >> >> I just scanned the archives for recommendations on a good external USB audio interface for sound card digital.
