[Elecraft] No Tx audio after WSJT upgrade

Nope.  I just changed the name of the codec for my 7300 from IC7300 
Audio In to IC7300a Audio In.  I rebooted Windows and WJST-X stills 
thinks it is IC7300 Audio In.  This is somewhat of a mute point as it is 
still the same codec and WJST-X still works fine.   My point is only 
that WJST-X is not refreshing from the sound panel after an install.
