[Elecraft] K3s USB audio connections no longer visible in WSJT after 22H2 Win11 update

[Peter Dougherty (W2IRT)]

Earlier tonight I got the big Windows 11 fall update (known as 22H2). It
confirmed my worst fears in that it broke WSJT functionality, but unlike
previous times, it wasn't just a matter of going in and re-selecting the
appropriate sound device. With this update, in WSJT, the only sound options
to choose are the default Windows system audio options (Microphone (USB
Audio CODEC) and (Line IN (Realtek Audio). In the Windows Sound control
panel the K3s options are there (they were renamed back to default values,
but as I do every time one of these stupid updates comes through, I rename
them so I know for sure which entries are which in this list), but they are
*not* there in WSJT.

Any ideas how to get these back? I'm the furthest thing from a Windows
expert, and it seems like every new version causes more damage that average
users are incapable of fixing on their own. I've got a sneaking suspicion
that this is going to become a major issue for a lot of users as more people
get the 22H2 update, unless it's just a simple fix.
