There is no need for your feature request. WSJT-X should not be using the only audio device available to your computer, or put it another way, X should not be using the windows default audio device.
Add a simple sound card usb dongle (less than $10 on Amazon). Use that for WSJT-X, use the default Windows audio device for your warnings. Or...if you have a modern radio with USB interface, use the Radio's USB interface for both Audio and CAT control in WSJT-X, and use the computer's default sound card for alerts from WSJT-X. Don't use windows' default audio device (built in audio/sound card in the computer) for WSJT-X TX and RX 73, N0AN Hasan On Sat, Apr 26, 2025 at 11:51 AM F4HTB via wsjt-devel < wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > I would like to suggest a small but useful improvement for WSJT-X > regarding audio handling. > > Currently, WSJT-X uses the system’s default audio output to play alert > sounds. > In some setups, this can lead to problems: I have noticed, both > personally and among other operators, that when using the same audio > interface for radio transmission and for WSJT-X, the alert sounds may > accidentally be transmitted over the air. > > I have observed this behavior both under Windows and Linux. > > To prevent this issue, I propose adding an option in the Audio tab of > the configuration menu to allow users to select a specific output device > for alert sounds, independently of the device used for radio transmissions. > > For reference, Fldigi has provided this capability for a long time, > which helps avoid this kind of problem. > > Thank you very much for considering this request, and thank you for all > the excellent work on WSJT-X. > > 73, > > > > > _______________________________________________ > wsjt-devel mailing list > wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/wsjt-devel >
