What version of Windows are you using? Windows 7 notoriously has a massive problem with WSJT-X, JS8CALL, and some other programs that use similar routines to poll the sound devices. For YEARS, I couldn't use WSJT-X normally, because while it would find all of my speakers, it would never find my currently installed microphones. I had to use a convoluted system of default devices and Voicemeeter mixer software to get it to work. What finally solved the problem permanently was when my 9 year old Windows 7 machine died, and I replaced it recently with a brand new machine with Windows 10.
I'm not sure why that happens, but Windows versions below 10 seem to have a major issue with enumeration of sound devices. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- 73, Gwen, NG3P On Sat, Sep 12, 2020 at 7:57 PM Neil Zampella <ne...@techie.com> wrote: > Actually ...
