Ken, I also have an ASUS MB. I was planning to do just as you said, use the integrated sound as the default for the digital modes and normal sound functions, but ASUS's design will not allow the onboard sound device to work with an add-on card in the system. I verified this by contacting the

I too had a motherboard (Gigabyte), that did not allow me to have both the MOBO sound, and Extigy (USB) working simultaneously. I believe that my problem was related to the Creative software and the mixer controls. I think that one version tried to disable the other. I had to manually uninstall

The ANF seems to have stopped working after Preview 12. I just noticed it in P15 this morning and went back a couple of revs. It works fine in P12 but is not functional in P14 or P15 (I never installed P13 so I couldn't try it there). My imagination or real? Bob, K5KDN

I believe all of you are mistaking one thing for another. This is trivially fixed if I am right. What happens sometimes when you install a new card , such as the Delta 44, it becomes the default sound card when you wanted the soundmax to continue to be the default sound card. Start -

Would there be any advantage to multipoint IQ balancing like VE3NEA uses in Rocky 1.41 http://www.dxatlas.com/Rocky/. It looks like you start the calibration and let the software go over night and it searches over and over for strong signals and computes the balanced needed at each frequency as

There would be an advantage to automatic I/Q balancing, there is ABSOLUTELY NO advantage to Alex's algorithm to us.Let me deal with this now so I can hopefully put this to rest. It is as simple as we have DDS/VFO and the softrock does not. It sits on essentially one frequency and up to
