So does that mean that WSJT-X opens and closes the audio device each time ? That is not a sane way to use any audio device. Just open it once when the program starts and keep it open, and output silence when not transmitting. Same for RX of course. Anyway the audio device should not be the one used by the OS or desktop for anything else, so there won't be any conflicts. -- FA _______________________________________________ wsjt-devel mailing list wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel
