[Elecraft] Sound Card Problems

[William Wisbey]

With many USB devices if you change the USB port it is plugged into it will load a new instance of drivers and create a new “device”.

It’s puzzling until you figure it out. 

The secret is to always plug the USB device into the same USB port on the computer (or hub as the case may be).

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.

Then after another failure, I found that there was only one USB Audio Codec associated with the output.
