We have a winner!!!! The cord from the speakers was not long enough to go to the Flex, but just reached the computer.
When I went to plug in the speakers on the back of the 5000 I found I had an extension cable there... So, I can't remember but I must have done something simple earlier in the week that caused that to unplug. When I found the unplugged speaker, out of habit I plugged it into the 1/8 jack into the PC. It now works fine. Thanks to everyone for the suggestions and in particular to Bill Kramer who pushed me in the right direction Carl Nord WA1KPD From: Bill Kramer [mailto:33hot...@frontiernet.net] Sent: Friday, March 24, 2017 12:48 PM To: Carl Nord Subject: Re: [Flexradio] 5000 Sound? Plug the external powered speakers into the 1/8 jack on the rear of the 5000 If you don't have powered speakers, try and adapter and use headphones.

Have you been to the MIXER tab, and checked that the external powered speaker box is checked ? On 24 Mar 2017, at 5:52 pm, Carl Nord <chn...@comcast.net> wrote: My 5000 has started acting strangely. The sound is completely muted. . Been running PowerSDR 2.8 for months . I can see signals on the band . The sound system through the PC is OK . AF gain all the way up- on PC, speakers PC sound and speakers all the way up . Squelch off Did not knowingly change anything, it is possible system was powered down without a correct shut down, but nothing else I can think of. Any ideas?
