[Dx4win] SignaLink USB
Dear DX4Win List Members, I bought the SignaLink external USB sound card from Tigertronics thinking to preserve my internal sound card for DX announcements. It is up and running using DigiPan but no such luck with DX4Win. Looking at Preferences/Control/PSK Sound Card - I have a choice between Default, Card 0, 1, 2, or 3. No where do I find what I need -- USB Audio CODEC. Am I missing something? Or is this simply the way it is going to be, and I am stuck using DigiPan but not DX4Win?

Re: [Dx4win] SignaLink USB
Your USB sound card will be one of 1, 2 or 3, most likely 1 if it's the only other sound device in your system. Try that.

Re: [Dx4win] SignaLink USB
Windows give a number in every souncard they have. Default is what the windows have choised in there soundmanager. Experiment with 0,1,2,3. One of them is your sigmalink usb card. Unfortunately i don;t know a way to find what number your system gave to the usb soundcard. kostas sv1dpi - Original Message - From: Alan Walters a.walt...@att.net To: Dx4win@mailman.qth.net Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 5:36 PM Subject: [Dx4win] SignaLink USB Dear DX4Win List Members, I bought the SignaLink external USB sound card from Tigertronics thinking to preserve my internal sound card for DX announcements.

[Dx4win] SignaLink USB
Thanks to Jim, Kostas and Mel. I tried Card 0, 1, 2, and 3 with no success. So I returned to Control Panel/Sounds and Audio Devices/Audio and Changed the Default sound card to USB Audio CODEX. Then returned to DX4Win and selected Default. All works OK now except no DX announcements - a secondary consideration - in fact I needed to change Preferences/Packet1/DX Alerts to None to prevent a spot from keying the radio. I will leave well enough alone for now but still want to see if I can get the USB soundcard to work using the Card selections other than Default. But for now all is OK. Thanks again to Jim, Kostas and Mel. 73, de Al - K5NOF SK __ Dx4win mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dx4win Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dx4win@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
Re: [Dx4win] SignaLink USB
OK.., then you have proven that the card works from DX4Win. I suspect that when you are using card 1,2 or 3 you have not set the mixer application correctly. I think Jim is correct, it should be card 1... I have 2 sound cards and that is what I use... If you have WSPR... if you run it, it will display the audio devices on startup and you can see how they are enumerated. Paul... could you please display some meaningful text instead of Card 1,2,3,4 in ver 8, if possible? Please do not use it the way it is configured now Al... I already hear too many Windows noises on 14.07 ;-) If you do, disable the Windows sound theme. Mel... Alan Walters wrote: Thanks to Jim, Kostas and Mel. I tried Card 0, 1, 2, and 3 with no success.

Re: [Dx4win] SignaLink USB
Mel and others, I have had an almost identical problem. I am using an external USB sound card for the digital modes, and I had wanted to also use the internal sound card on my motherboard for DX announcements and other computer applications. I tried any number of settings in the control panel 's SOUNDS menu in which either the internal card was declared, the external card was declared or one was declared for voice and the other for audio and vice versa. I could never get both cards to work simultaneously. I finally gave up and use the external card for the digital modes and forgo all other computer sound sources. The external card is declared in the control panel and I have selected card number 0 in the DX4WIN preferences. If I declare the internal card in the control panel, then it works and the external card doesn't even when I switch DX4WIN to card 1 for the digital modes. It's been a long time since I played with these parameters, so my recollections are now a little dim, but if anyone has any suggestions to get them both working, I'd sure like to hear about them. 73, Joe K2XX Mel wrote: OK.., then you have proven that the card works from DX4Win.

Re: [Dx4win] SignaLink USB
If I recall correctly, in the PSK window, there's a way to right-click somewhere to change the settings. This lets you set the sound card for PSK (by sound card #). I don't remember exactly how, or how this would apply to RTTY. Remember that -1 is the default system soundcard. The built-in card would usually be 0 (so either -1 or 0 works). Then additional cards would be 1, 2, 3 etc. On Wed, May 27, 2009 at 4:50 PM, Joe Giacobello k...@swva.net wrote: Mel and others, I have had an almost identical problem.

Jim, let me look at it again. It's been so long that my recollection is dim.

Re: [Dx4win] SignaLink USB
That's how it is set up here. Set up the default card in Control Panel for Windows noise and announcements and set PSK sound card to whatever in Preferences - Control. In my case a PCI sound card was Card 1... but I figured that out by trial and error. BTW, you need a relatively recent version of DX4Win... at one time it only used the default card. I'm not sure when Paul added this enhancement. Joe Giacobello wrote: Mel and others, I have had an almost identical problem.
