I've got my default sound device as a cheap USB dongle.
It's fine for my typical computer audio usage.
The built-in device, which has excellent resolution etc, I then use for
amateur radio.
Seems to be mostly reliable with USB suspend turned off, on a desktop with W10.
Also avoids system sounds being transmitted.

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)?

Hi Alan,
I am afraid you will have to get used to this happening (No TX audio),
anytime a Windows PC sees a sound device come or go it reshuffles the audio
device ID assignments and you end up in the situation you see now. 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

I thought I remembered something about USB ports.
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."

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. It is still decoding fine.
(as reported before using the HamRadioDeluxe radio)
I tried quite a few things to make it come back to Txing other than
exit/restart cycling.
I have found that going to Settings|Audio|Output and selecting
something other than (3-USB etc) e.g.
Then re-selecting 3_USB
My tx comes back into operation.
I also tried moving my USB cable over to another port on the PC but
this makes no difference other than changin from say 2-USB to 3-USB etc.
