Are you seeing four bars of ALC?   It sounds like you do not
have the audio levels set correctly.

Use DATA A, set MENU:MIC+LIN = OFF and MENU:MIC SEL=LINE IN.
Set your software TX level at about 80%, set the Windows Volume
Mixer for your sound card output "Speaker (USB Audio CODEC)" at
80%, adjust the K3/K3S Mic Gain for four bars of ALC and set the
output power level using the PWR control.
