Trying to fix my no output problem I dug a little deeper in device manager.
Opening each usb hub and viewing DETAILS TAB.
I discovered many USB hubs were disabled! Turning them on and repeating for each device attached to that hub helped resolve the issue. 
The "+" indicator is very small drilling down past the USB hub.

I think you will find power management in DEVICE MANAGER< USB CONTROLLERS, un tick the “ Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power”

Do this for each device under USB controllers.

I followed your instructions.  The NMEATime Panel says "No GPS".  I may need "SiRFDemo" to switch the GPS from SiRF back to NMEA.  
Does anyone know where I can find this program to download?  
Has anyone heard of a different fix?  
There is also a similar problem with USB GPS receivers.  They work on Windows 7, but not on Win 8 and 10.

Can you run WSJT-X radio config with no radio control and VOX PTT ? That is how I run my Elecraft K2 using rig control is a luxury unless you need it for PTT.

Hi OM,

with the Yaesu FT-817/857/897/818(D) series of rigs you must uncheck the WSJT-X option "Settings->General->Allow Tx frequency changes while transmitting".

Hi Gary,

the SignaLink USB interface is audio and PTT only, it does not provide a CAT control connection. If you do not have an additional CAT interface for your FT-847 then you need to select the WSJT-X option "Settings->Radio->Rig->None". You also need to set the option "Settings->Radio->PTT Method->VOX".

Under the WSJT-X Configuration menu, you can create a new configuration.  Several in fact.    I have the DEFAULT and one named JA-160 which sets the radio to do as described, and one for my Tentec Eagle.   I just choose the one I need from the configuration menu and the radio and computer are happy.  No need to reset anything.  Once and done.

Hello again all.
Anyone else having this problem?
Everything works just fine as long as I keep using WSJT-X every 30 minutes or so. But should I leave for and hour or more and come back, the microphone no longer transmits the tone..  WSJT-X still keys the radio ok but nothing is generated or sent out on the transmit audio line..  If I restart WSJT-X everything comes back and works fine until I leave for an hour or so again.
I've check the power saving option in the device manager in both the microphone and in the USB and none show any power saving options set...
I'm at a loss for what else to check.

I've always been able to get answers to my other problems from the many people that read this group so maybe I can get one for this problem... Any ideas?
Thanks all.

Dennis,   I see the same thing, but not on a regular basis.  Thought it had to do with the computer or screen saver going to sleep, but it's not consistent.  I chalked it up to perhaps the computer doing some background operations while idle, but really have no idea.  I haven't used "caffeine" in a while to keep things awake, but will give it another try.   https://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/caffeine/

Tried this briefly last night and seems to work.
Added for 160 meters FT8 another frequency of 1.908.000 in frequency chart, set K3 to Split, and WSJTX to NONE. Transmit on 1840.000 and receive on 1908.000. Everything remained OK after a test transmission.
Just remember to change settings when you’re finished trying to work JA on 160 FT8. Hopefully this will be a moot point when and if Japan changes their frequency allocations. Then just delete the 1908 addition.

<snip>
Bob,

Although running this sort of split will work on some rigs using CAT control, by selecting "Settings->Radio->Split Operating->None", it is not officially supported.

If it doesn't work for your rig, then you can disable CAT control and set the rig's VFOs and SPLIT manually by selecting "Settings->Radio->Rig->None". This clearly cannot be used with CAT PTT commands but if your rig supports PTT via RTS use that, or VOX (or DATA VOX) on the rig.

You can make a separate configuration in WSJT-X to support this including the Rx the frequency for logging.
