Hi Ton,

not WSJT-X, WSJT-X does not utilize PortAudio, it uses Qt which in turn 
access the Windows audio services directly. WSPR and WSJT use PortAudio.

Hi Bill,

Many thanks for your replies.
I had tried to rollback / reinstall / use the driver from Realtek and
booting after I deleted the driver.
I will certainly try to build WSJT-X with the port audio you provided. I
can do that in a few weeks after which I will let you know of the results.
At least I know that there might be a solution.

Many thanks!

Hi again Ton,

here is a build of PortAudio for Windows with only the MME Audio API 
supported:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/4192709/portaudio-e111b3a-w32-MME-only.zip

if you are able to build WSPRX then please do so using this package for 
PortAudio and see how it goes. If that doesn't work then I can provide 
versions of PortAudio with other single API support options to try.

It seems to be related to PortAudio as I also have a problem with 
HPSDR which stops when it initializes PortAudiio. HPSDR appears to run 
in compatibility mode though.

WSJTX works fine and I assume that it doesn't use the PortAudio library.

Zotac offers no support Although they released their product only 
3 years ago, they claim it is discontinued and can't provide any help 
related to Windows 10.


Is there any experience here with such PortAudio problem and is there 
a solution?


Hi Ton,

I am not aware of this issue but reading about it, it seems to be a 
driver issue and, if you have no updated sound card driver available for 
Windows 10, you may be stuck with this issue. The best advice seems to 
be to roll back the driver and use compatibility mode. Another 
possibility is to un-install the audio driver and let Windows re-install 
- some users have reported that the problem only occurs of systems that 
have been upgraded to Windows 10.


If you can get to the point where you no longer get the first error 
"Unable to initialize PortAudio" then there are possible solutions by 
selecting only from the devices accessed via the DirectSound Windows 
audio API. It appears that the problem is related to the WSAPI audio API 
route to the sound devices.

[wsjt-devel] Windows 10, PortAudio and my PC

2016-06-14 Thread Ton PA0TBR
Hello all,

After I updated my PC from Windows 8.1 64 bit Pro to Windows 10 64 bit Pro,
when I start WSPRX 08r3058 I get the following messages:
- Unable to initialize PortAudio
- PortAudio says requested soundcard format not supported
- Failed to start audio input stream
WSPRX will then start, but without any audio devices, including no VAC's.

My PC is a Zotac ID90 with i7-3770T CPU and uses a RealTek High Definition
Audio device.
I have reinstalled and also updated the driver but still have the same
result. I installed a USB Audio device as default but also with the same
result.

It seems to be related to PortAudio as I also have a problem with HPSDR
which stops when it initializes PortAudiio. HPSDR appears to run in
compatibility mode though.
WSJTX works fine and I assume that it doesn't use the PortAudio library.

Zotac offers no support Although they released their product only 3
years ago, they claim it is discontinued and can't provide any help related
to Windows 10.

Is there any experience here with such PortAudio problem and is there a
solution?

73,
Ton pa0tbr
