A lot of monitors have built in sound. I have seen crazy things where these monitor sound devices cause strange problems. I would disable all the sound devices in your monitors.

I have seen this exact scenario with the sound device causing Omnirig to fail to initialize. I can reliably reproduce this and repair it. I've posted about it before to no avail.

I have also seen a scenario where the sound devices don't seem to change, but Omnirig fails to initialize even after a reboot. Eventually some sort of gyration (killing the ominrig daemon, resetting the serial port, etc etc) allows the system to recover.

I use Log4OM which also uses Omni-Rig.

I've sort of decided to live with it rather than continue to track it down, but happy to share any debugging that I might have done in more detail if there's interest to address this.

    It turns out that this problem is very easy to reproduce.  First
    some background on my configuration.

The TS-590S has both a USB port and a traditional RS-232 COM port. The USB port connects to an internal USB hub which, in turn,
    connects to a USB UART for CAT and a PCM2903B USB Audio CODEC.  In
    my station OmniRig is connected to the RS-232 COM port and does not
    use USB CAT.

    Starting with WSJT-X connected via OmniRig and connected to rig USB
    audio CODEC
    I pulled the rig USB cable
    I observed WSJ-X report loss of sound interface
    I went to Settings/Audio and saw Input TS-590 USB Audio CODEC not found
    I went to Settings/Radio and executed Test CAT - Failed with "failed
    to start OmniRig server"
    I restored the rig USB cable
    I went to Settings/Audio and restored the rig CODEC connection
    I went to Settings/Radio and Executed Test CAT - it failed.
    I terminated and re-started WSJT-X.
    It started with no errors.

    I see no reason why loss of USB Audio should cause WSJT-X to be
    unable to connect to OmniRig and think there may be an unintended
    dependency in the code.
