[Elecraft] Sound Card Problems

[Lee Murrah]

Yes, I understand that, Don.  My point was that when the USB cables are plugged in, something is changing or removing the drivers.  One time everything works OK and the drivers are there, next time it fails and the USB drivers are gone or changed.

So thinking that the problem was how I had the internal sound card and WSJT-X set up, I switched back to using my SignaLink, which had worked perfectly before.  It worked fine for a while, but then the failed output problem returned. Mysteriously, it would start working again and then after a time fail again.
