[Elecraft] K3 - WSJT-X help

[N4ZR]

I run into this over and over with Windows 10, and I'm embarrassed to 
say I often don't know what makes the difference.  I use the microphone 
input and speakers output on an outboard USB sound card, and generally 
find myself just dinking around with the various sound settings until I 
find something that causes it to start working.  My suspicion is that 
Windows 10 update has a nasty habit of resetting audio arrangements to 
some arbitrary set of "defaults."

What happened is that in WSJT-X > Settings > Audio > Soundcard, The OUTPUT was no longer Speakers (USB Audio CODEC). Somehow it changed to SPEAKERS (Realtek High Definition Audio), which is my audio for my pc. Changed it to what it was supposed to be and now I am fine. I have no idea what changed the setting as I was working station after station when this happened.
