Laurie, How about this then: taskkill /IM /T jtalert.exe That is supposed to not forcefully terminate but issue a WM_CLOSE followed by telling any Child Process started by the JTA program to also close. Is that safe? Or what is the proper command line to tell JTALERT.EXE to close "properly" ?

Since I'm replacing this AMD computer with an Intel Core I5 in a short while, I don't want to invest a ton of time chasing down this problem if it only affects me and a couple others. It will go away when I change computers, as I have this same combo running on another machine with no issues. In t

When it happens again do the WWV recording with Audacity and note the time you shut down JTAlert in the recording time indication.It has to be doing something to the sound recording --  Having both the Audacity and WAV files would be of use. On Tuesday, July 30, 2019, 08:21:29 AM CDT, Hasan

Hi Mike Never. The monitor (Hi-Sense TV) is on until I go to bed, then I turn the TV off. Ever since I found out that there was a JTA > X interaction that was causing the problem, I have looked carefully in the morning when I come down to the shack to see if X is still decoding...and it is, except

Does your monitor go to sleep?  JTAlert should only be hooking up to the playback device so not sure how it could affect recording.  Possible that the JTAlert package does passively hook up to recording...that would explain why a restart might have an effect on recordingperhaps changing the

Totally different sound cards. JTA uses my HDMI monitor seen as an Nvidia, X uses my USB sound dongle. I've changed dongles, ...no difference. I've chased the sound card potential issue from several angles...that's not it. ...and Windows system uses the internal sound card of the computer. Hasan

Uwe, I just changed both those settings you recommended. Now, I'll have to wait, up to a couple days to see if it accomplished anything. Unfortunately the onset of the problem is random, and can take 2 or 3 days or only a few hours. Curing it is easy. I'll report back as I'm watching it. For sure

Hi Hasan, An interesting observation! What if you uncheck the boxed “Color Band Activity…” and/or “Highlight Band Activity…”? Is the error still there or is it gone? I had in the past also some (other) troubles with JTAlert, but it turned out that some files on my computer must
