OK you have at least confirmed my observations.
Have you tried setting WSJT-X to NOT use the default device as per this: But to use this setup (or similar)?

I have a HDMI connected monitor that has a sound device inbuilt. Turning it on / off used to cause me grief as the USB sound reshuffle would occur (I went to device manager and disabled that sound device associated with the monitor) and immediately saw an improvement in reliability. For reasons unknown it appears to mostly impact the OUTPUT (Speaker devices) and the desired TX audio path ends up going to a random output device. If you're lucky it goes to the default speakers and you get alerted by the WSJT audio coming out the speakers, otherwise you just get no TX power : -( which is frustrating as I run my shack over VNC from the house PC quite often and have no visibility of any of my normal power meters (job for the future). then wonder why no one is responding on FT8 when I call. I have three ICOM rigs connected full time to the shack PC and they all have random events of no TX audio, it seems it is the price we have to pay. Have tried every flavor of WSJT-X and its clones, all have the same problem so it is either just a windows thing or something buried in the code libraries of the frameworks used to create the package (no direct knowledge, just my best guess) Has anyone ever experimented with disabling the Plug-n-Play service in Windows? regards, Peter, vk5pj On Wed, Nov 23, 2022 at 9:27 AM Alan McDonald via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > wrote: I'm not using a laptop with a battery.

I googled: "windows 10 USB ports randomly stop working" and got "Go to Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings. Find USB Settings, then drill down to USB selective suspend setting. Disable the options next to On battery and Plugged in, then click Apply. You must then restart your PC to stop it from turning off the USB ports unnecessarily." ---Glenn, AF8C On 11/22/2022 1:27 AM, Alan McDonald via wsjt-devel wrote: > OK so I’ve been running standard V2.5.4, IC-7300 on COM6 > > I have made further observations. > > I have all the devices I can find set to not sleep. > > After leaving WSJT-X running for a while, I often come back to find it > won’t transmit.
