Andy, If you have a Dell PC then do this,
The Dell XPS 17 comes with two services enabled that appear to interfere
with the audio.

I went to Services and disabled Waves Audio Services and Waves Audio
Universal Services. I then rebooted the machine and the audio input in
WSJT-X is normal.

I do not have a crappy Dell PC, the PC that I have was built from scratch
on the kitchen table and running Win 7 Pro.

This advice was posted on the WSJT-X users group.

Hi,
First time here.
I have just setup WSJT-X on a new windows 11 laptop. I had a previous
version of WSJT running on a windows 10 machine.

On this setup I am able to run test CAT and Test PTT with good results.
The software controls the radio changing bands on request When I re-start
the software I see signal in the waterfall but it fades away. The radio is
on a busy band with good signals. I'm on COM7 which I verified is the
correct port. 19200 baud which matches the radio. But since I can control
the radio this is working. I have tried the mode with none, usb, data/pkt

I wonder if this is an audio issue. I have the mic and speakers on USB
Audio CODEC.

The gain on the left hand side is at 18 dB. I can't seem to adjust
that. Is that a new feature?

Thanks for the help.
