This appears to be a Windows problem.   Mac OS X identifies the Signalink
as USB CODEC on both input and output

My Kenwood (TS2000) is set to 9 for the audio out (50C) and the Signalink
RX level is at full.   I used the "Signal Level" indicators in Cocoa Modem
and FLdigi to find that I needed all that gain.   I have never noticed a
performance issue even with very strong signals or very weak ones.
