Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sound Devices Issue
I did not take the comment to disable WinUpdates. I now what to look for in the future. Nothing really broke it just removed my "named" K3 sound devices and replaced them. All is good once I realized what happened. Rich K3RWN On 3/14/2018 21:21 PM, Don Wilhelm wrote: I do not recommend disabling updates unless your ham station computer is not connected to the internet.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sound Devices Issue
You can also use device manager to remove the USB device you want to remove. Reboot and see if that fixes your issue, if not, It may require more research. If you are using RTTY software, that could also be the culprit. In the latter, remove and reinstall after doing the previous. 73, Bill K9YEQ -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2018 7:04 PM To: Rich ; Elecraft Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3S Sound Devices Issue The only way I can think of to avoid problems like that is to disable Windows updates.
