[Elecraft] KX3 and WSJT-X Setup

[Brian P]

I dont have a KX3 yet (still in the market and saving for one) so I am not
sure if its something KX3 related or not and I am also not sure how you
installed WSJT-X (from the Linux Mint Repo or compiled from source) but
something you can check to make sure it is configured correctly for your
system, as WSJT-X requires 16 bit audio at a 48 kHz sample rate and the
default Pulse Audio setting is normally 44.1 Khz so the easiest way to make
sure this is configured correctly is to copy the file /etc/pulse/daemon.conf
to $HOME/.pulse/daemon.conf and modify the version in your home directory.

Find the line ; default-sample-rate = 44100 toward the end of the file,
delete the leading semicolon and space and then change the value to 48000.
It should now look like this:

default-sample-rate = 48000

Save the file, then reboot the entire system to ensure Pulse Audio restarts
and grabs the updated settings and see if that helps you at all.
