[Elecraft] [K3] FT4/8 Transmit Problem

I had a similar problem like this when using a SoundBlaster X G1 sound device. I solved it by only transmitting on one channel. If I use BOTH channels on output, it would do this weirdness. 

Don’t know if that helps you or not.

The data would transmit for a couple seconds (heard it in the monitor, and saw output power), then the data stops. The K3 stays in transmit (Red TX light) for the whole TX period, so I think the PTT configuration is working. I was using it in conjunction with N1MM, but closed N1MM and used WSJTx standalone, and had the same problem. Appreciate any ideas.
