[Elecraft] (OT) RufzXP sound problem - solved

[Robert Strickland]

Hello to all...

The problem that I initially described has found its origin in my lack 
of attention to details.

When connecting my headset to the sound card's external jacks [back 
plain of computer] I inserted the jack into the wrong terminal; when 
connected properly sound emerged. A second operator problem focused on 
the sound icon in the lower right of the screen. It allows individual 
adjustment of various sources of sound [eg, speakers, system sounds, 
microphone etc]. For reason I can't recall - or explain - I had the 
system sound slider all the way to the mute position. When set on max, 
the sound of the speaker tests at both the computer level and the Xonar 
audio card level emerged, clear and bright. I still cannot get the audio 
from the Xonar card to the front cabinet audio jacks. While the  line is 
connected, no sound emerges. More work to do.

So, the upshot of all this is operator problems in that I did not go 
over the many sound adjustment settings here-and-there well enough to 
prevent self-inflicted frustration. Computers users are a wide and 
diverse group, and I suppose the OEM's try to address the variety by 
making almost everything adjustable in hopes of being all things to all 
people. In this environment RTFM and open eyes [among other things] are 
indispensable.

Still don't know why I can't get front-panel sound...
