When you move the Flex 1500 USB cable to a different USB port on the same PC, you're likely to have a problem when you start PowerSDR.. You could have a large, noisy hump on the panadapter 9khz down from the dial frequency. You could have an apparent dead receiver. Or you could have a sample rate error message box.

When you move to a different USB port on the PC, a USB HUB port or a different USB HUB port, the active FLEX sound card device number changes.. i.e. 'Microphone (1- FLEX-1500)' can become 'Microphone (3- Flex-1500)'

When PowerSDR starts and the database points to a Flex sound card device that is different than the current Flex sound card device, PowerSDR selects a random sound device ( i.e. MS sound mapper, VAC, hardware sound card, etc. )...

    You can recover from this dilemma without doing a database reset.
All you have to do is stop PowerSDR, go to SETUP>AUDIO>PRIMARY and select the current active Flex sound card device. Then start PowerSDR.
You will need to exit PowerSDR before your database is updated.

It is possible that a future Flex 1500 firmware or driver upgrade could cause a similar problem.
