Hi Bill,
Thanks for responding. 

Rig is a Omni VII.  It keys fine from WSJTx.  It is connected via the sound 
card for input and output and is the manner in which I have always used it.  I 
keep unwanted audio (from other pc activities) off the air by having all event 
sounds shut off, always.  For the audio output device in KDE, I have been 
choosing 'default'.  So, I get audio into the program, but not out of it and to 
the rig.  There are some other audio devices in KDE that I can choose and I 
tried that, but it did not work.  I may look at it with fresh eyes today.  
Maybe I'm just missing something.  

By the way, I got curious if 20.04 would even play audio after I ran into this 
issue, and it does work playing a video online.  

Interesting that WSJTx just started on bootup, don't know why.

Hi Andy,

if closing and restarting WSJT-X gives a stale lock file error then the 
main wsjtx process is not shutting down cleanly, that is probably 
related to the difficulty it is having attaching to an audio output 
device. What device are you choosing for the output device on the 
"Settings->Audio panel, and what is your rig and how is it connected to 
your PC for audio?
