Thanks Peter. I am familiar with this limitation. I am not actually adding more devices so at this time, it is just a matter of discovering that the 3.0 port actually provides “as expected” connectivity. And having solved the Tx dropout issue is a pleasing outcome.
To summarize again: CAT Control never failed. Rx audio never stopped. It was only Tx audio from USB Codec which flicked offline at random times. This is no longer the case.

These endpoints include the serial ports, sound devices, mice and keyboard we all seem to accumulate. In general while USB 3 is considered to be the fast and logical option for most things, it can have far fewer endpoint devices connected than its slower USB 2 cousin. If you google the term "Not Enough USB Controller Resources" you will start to understand what the limits are and ways to check your system. I see this USB problem regularly when my Elad FMDUO is connected to its own mini desktop PC and that's just three USB leads, as the DUO has a tonne of internal endpoints that are presented to Windows so I have distribute the leads across USB2 at the rear, USB2 on the front and USB3 to get everything to play. Wish you the best of luck with your setup, regards, Peter, vk5pj On Mon, Nov 28, 2022 at 3:43 PM Alan McDonald via wsjt-devel <wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net <mailto:wsjt-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> > wrote: OK it's been 2d since my last setup alteration and I have not experienced any TX dropout. I moved my radio to another USB port type 3.0. (as opposed to a non 3.0 speed type) I can confirm at least on my setup, that there is no longer an issue with dropping Tx audio. The HamRadioDeluxe radio + USB Codecs are now solid and Tx does not drop out. I have even reinstated the sleep to “enabled” on all devices and still there are no dropouts. So, in my experience, this is not something to do with ports "sleeping", it's all to do with USB port speed. I suspect that having CAT + 2way Audio feeds + switching, on one port, is more demanding than a normal USB can handle. It’s nice to be able to leave the HamRadioDeulxe rig control ON and open and close WSJT-X without having to shut things down and start them up again. Thanks for your patients and assistance. This was a rather long series of changes and testing periods in all this. But it’s a nice feeling to have it sorted.

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.
