Hasan,
Try this:
On wsjtx go to settings, General. Make sure 'Start new period decodes at top' is not ticked.

Uwe,I just changed both those settings you recommended. Now, I'll have to wait, up to a couple days to see if it accomplished anything.
Unfortunately the onset of the problem is random, and can take 2 or 3 days or only a few hours. Curing it is easy. I'll report back as I'm watching it. For sure will post first failure, if your idea did not work. Thanks for the suggestion.73, N0ANHasan

_______________________________________________Hi Hasan,
An interesting observation! What if you uncheck the boxed “Color Band Activity…” and/or “Highlight Band Activity…”? Is the error still there or is it gone?
I had in the past also some (other) troubles with JTAlert, but it turned out that some files on my computer must have been corrupted. Uninstalled JTAlert completely, removed all remaining files manually and the reinstalled JTAlert again, and all the errors were gone. Maybe also worth to try…

Betreff: [wsjt-devel] Loss of Decoding in WSJT-X with Audio Still Present
First of all, no, the cause is not clock error.
I have found the "proximate" cause, however, after weeks of hunting. I worked with W9MDB and tested/considered many potential causes. I even thought I had found it several times. In all those cases there was a confounding variable, which I have now isolated. I have found the cure, just not the cause, hence I'm posting this info here.
I have been fighting this problem for weeks, and finally found a reproducible set of actions that cures the problem, immediately every time! (until it recurs and then the same steps solve it)
In this discussion X means the 64 bit 2.01 version of WSJT-X, and JTA means JTAlert. (earlier versions of both programs act the same way, since installing the first 64 bit version of X. That may have been a coincidence, (64 bit install), but what follows is not!
I have observed 100% correlation between the problem and running both programs involved listed below. I am not assigning cause, but some sort of interaction between the two programs has got to be the cause, as doing what I describe below restores decoding in X every time.
What doesn't work:
Stopping X with button.
Closing X and restarting it.
Closing other running programs like Chrome, SDRC, etc
What has cured it every time:
Shut down JTAlert.
Proof:
Every time I found X not decoding, but audio was still showing on the thermometer and also showing on the waterfall:
I closed JTA and immediately on the very next sequence, X began decoding again. (On its own, I did no intervention with X at all) I could then restart JTA and X would continue to decode for hours, if not days (2 or 3 max). When it eventually stopped decoding again, a simple closing of JTA restored X decoding at the next sequence.
So, the stoppages are random, going no more than a few days, but the cure is not!
This has worked EVERY time since discovering the correlation between X and JTA!
Prior to this, the only cure was to reboot the computer.
If you are having this problem, and also run JTA, try my solution.
I have no idea what the cause might be, but this correlation should give the development team an idea where to look.
Win10 Home, 64 bit, AMD Quad Core
Also, this does not happen on every computer I have running copies of X and JTA. Not every one of them is using JTA.
