Hi John, Siegfried.
I have tried Siegfried’s Audio MIDI technique to create a sound device such
that in the device listing on WSJT, the device appears ‘at the top’.
However I am not able to accomplish that. When I do "Audio MIDI Setup” ->
"Audio Devices” -> “Create Aggregate Device”, called ‘AAAAAA’, it still appears
just below “Internal Speakers” and just above “USB Audio CODEC”, which then
delivers the same behavior in WSJTX.
John, the exact MacOS version I am running here today is: 10.12.3 Beta
(16D30a). But WSJTX failed similarly from 10.12.1 up to this version. I see
10.12.4 Beta 2 is out, but have not tried that yet.
This is what I see in ‘dmesg’ when I plug in my FT-991 via USB

To reproduce, I have “Enable TX” enabled, wait for the sequence to start, after
a few seconds I click “Halt TX”. When back in receive, I immediately “Enable
TX” and repeat this cycle.
I can repeat this about 4 or 5 times before it breaks.
Interestingly, sometimes when I have just hit “Halt TX”, I can see that the
receive has broken - with the waterfall display not updating at all (I guess
Audio Input not receiving samples).
Then when I try “Enable TX”, the audio always switches to the “Internal
Speakers”. I need to close and reopen wsjtx to recover.
But mostly after Halt TX, WSJTX is still receiving OK, but then breaks as per
the above as soon as I “Enable TX”. At that point when I “Halt TX” (to turn off
the transmitter), the receive is always also broken.
—
Not sure if this is relevant, but I am running on a MacBook Pro 17-inch, Early
2011, 2.2GHz Intel Core i7.
—
If anybody has a good working setup, perhaps they can share me the SILABS
driver they used?
The website only has the latest version, which may be broken and causing all of
this - I would like to eliminate this.
Maybe a much older version works better.
—
I have added "qDebug () << XXX” and rebuilt to try figure out what may be
braking on my side, but have not been able find any issues.”
Thanks

Hi Keith and Siegfried,
I downloaded r7405 (the official release) and have been trying all afternoon to
reproduce this problem and cannot succeed. No faults after several hours. I
wonder what is different with my setup:
MacBook Pro with OSX 10.11.6. Mac USB to powered hub: hub USB to SignaLink
box with VOX PTT control to Kenwood TS-870s, audio and PTT line to data port of
rig;
second port of hub USB-Serial adapter by Star Tech Com with FTDI chipset to
serial port of rig. CAT Control via ?Hamlib NET rigctl? and rigctld-wsjtx
from WSJT-X app.
TX power 10-20W.
There are no other user applications running at the same time as WSJT-X. I
don?t recall having this problem with 10.9, or 10.10 or 10.11. (Must be lucky)
? John G4KLA
