I am trying to get Rocky 3.7 to work with my KX3 similar to the display of the P3 and my K3. I have Rocky 3.7 running on my laptop computer and Windows 8. Rx I/Q is turned on in the menu of the KX3 and the cable supplied by Elecraft is running to my Creative model SB1100 USB sound adapter. My sound adapter is several years old so may not be the same as the new ones listed on the Internet. 

Rocky Soundcard info 
INPUT
 Device 04 SBX-FiGo!
 wFormatTag WAVE_FORMAT_PCM
 nChannels 2
 nSamplesPerSec: 48000
 nAvgBytesPerSec: 19200
 nBlockAlign: 4
 wBitsPerSample: 16
 cbSize: 0
 wValidBitsPerSample: 0
 dwChannelMask: 0
 SubFormat: (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)

I did not include the OUTPUT data as I am not using the transmit part

My problem is I get two spikes for every signal. One is the correct one but an equal sized spike is shown on the opposite side of the screen. I do not think this is normal as I don't think other hams would want a display with that problem. 

I have tried Rocky - View - Settings
 Left/Right = I/Q 
 Left/Right = Q/I
 Shift Right Channel Data by 
 -8,-7,-6,-5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0,+1,+2,+3,+4,+5,+6,+7,+8

I don't know what else to try and I do wonder if the 
USB sound card uses stereo for the microphone but I have not been able to find that information on the Internet.

I would appreciate any help. I feel it is so close to working but not working right.
