FYI
Windows 10 Update breaks WSJT operation (and N1MM. WinWarbler digital programs - Carl KJ4WD's comment).I have been using WSJT and FT8 for a while now. The computer is a 64 bit windows 10 system. Microsoftdid an update on May 21st. It took a long time to run and when it was done I could no longeroperate FT8. When I started WSJT this error was shown “Error in Sound Input”.The program was not receiving any audio from the radio. I did a lot of searching on the internet andfinally found the solution. It was hard to find the solution because I was searching for audio inputproblem and not a microphone input problem. When windows 10 was new I turned off a lot ofthings to improve my privacy. One of them was the Microphone input. The computer does not havea microphone but I turned it off anyhow.This search found the solution “windows 10 microphone access permissions”.To fix it, go to Settings, Privacy, Microphone and enable the microphone access.WSJT now works okay like it did before the update.
