This type of discussion makes me wonder if folks are feeding audio
direct from the computer to the Line IN on the rear or to the MIC
input. If they are using an external soundcard, i.e. Signalink or such,
then I can understand Windows sounds being heard. Not good.
If they are using the USB mode {and not a DATA mode, with the Menu item
MIC + LINE set to ON, thus anything picked up by the mike is also
transmitted along with WSJT-X data.
It would do well to carefully listen to your MON with headphones to see
what exactly is being transmitted. Correctly configured, only the
WSJT-X data is transmitted......and as it should be.

Thanks Bill,
I always turn off windows sounds, they
bother me when I'm concentrating on
something. This issue deals with the
stereo/mono audio as from youtube or some
web page with streaming music/sounds that
happened to be running. I couldn't hear
the music/talk/noise from the computer and
that got transmitted when I would transmit
with WSJT-X, maybe with AFSK as well.
I always hear people's audio, words on
WSJT, I must have been doing that too, I
just couldn't hear it as I use a bluetooth
dongle for listening to the computer &
pull the dongle when I'm not listening to
it.
I have a feeling this is a very common
issue and very few people know about this
windows setting which just made all the
difference with WSJT-X, 20+ years of using
windows and this was the first I saw that
page.

From the volume mixer you can "Mute" Windows Sounds. This
eliminates all those annoying notification squeals and squawks.

Peter,
Absolutely brilliant! I never have seen
this windows page or read about it, but it
absolutely did the trick. I now have an
alternate soundcard selected in windows
sound control panel and have WSJT-X
configured in App volume and device
preferences.
I have to experiment to be sure nothing
gets out sound-wise from the computer but
at first exposure, this looks to be dead
on.
How many others have not yet discovered
this!

G'day Gary,
This should work :
Run WSJT-X
Go to the system settings via the cog in the start menu.
Click on "System (Display, sound, notifications")
Click on "Sound"
Scroll down to "Other sound options" and click on "App volume and
device preferences".
Select WSJT-X from the list of displayed apps and select your USB
CODEC for both input and output.
Note that I don't use WSJT-X but that's how it's done for
everything else.
Cheers,
Peter VK4JD

wsjt if the K3s codec is windows default.
Folks,
I posted this on the WSJT-X reflector but
got no replies. Perhaps someone here has
the answer.
---------------
Using Windows 10... Joy...
I have WSJT-X set up to use the K3s USB
Audio Codec, input & output. Both are
selected as Mono.
The codec is selected in the computer.
I have found no way to get the K3s to
transmit unless the K3s USB codec is set
to default device in the computer.
If I have another soundcard/option
selected in the computer, the K3s will
indeed present transmit mode as WSJT-X
signals it to do, but there is no RF
generated from the K3s. It's Lights on,
nobody home. WSJT works fine but also
transfers any computer sound to the K3s
during transmit.
If nothing is playing on the computer and
the codec is selected as default, I have
no trouble with anything WSJT-X related.
This is how I have had to have it working
for the last 10 months. However, I
recently discovered a youtube was playing
on another page and that audio was coming
through with my WSJT transmission. This is
unacceptable.
Bottom line seems to be, I must have the
K3s USB codec selected as default in the
windows sound control panel or I cannot
transmit with WSJT-X.
There must be another something I'm
missing but I can't seem to find it.
Any suggestions?
73,
Gary
