Locked Windows 11 and WSJTX #FT8 #windows11


Frank Kelly
 

Agreed Willie. I even notice how Windows 11 will temporarily recognize
WJST receiver audio but then disconnects it quickly. I can see evidence of
tones on the waterfall, but they stop averaging and go away.
I traced this activity directly to needing to disable external audio
processes for the USB port used in Windows 11. I have to do it for every
USB port used.
This was critical for me on this mainstream Windows 11 computer.

All,

Until recently, I have been unable to run WSJT-X 2.5.4 on a brand new Dell
XPS Windows 11 machine while my older Windows 10 PCs worked fine.
I was unable to get receiver audio into WSJT-X and by trial-and-error
discovered I had to disable the use of external audio processing on all the
USB sockets I was connecting to.  If I plug my rig into another USB port,
that port needs external audio processing to be disabled too.  This became
more important as I use a dock with its own additional USB controllers and
sockets.  For this Windows 11 PC, each USB port needs its external audio
processing to be disabled for it to be usable with WSJT-X.

Maybe this helps other hams fighting audio problems in Windows 11.

Michael,
On Windows 11 with Quisk v.4.2.0 I just made a new attempt to upgrade to
2.5.4 and upgraded also the lihamlib-4.dll as you suggest.
CAT does not work with Quisk, I can very slowly change frequencies but it
fails to trigger Quisk to transmit.
I returned to v.2.4.0, which worked immidiately like a charm.

New hamlib for Windows installation directions
#1 Shut down WSJTX/JTDX
#2 Download either the 32-bit or 64-bit DLL matching the 32/64-bit version of WSJTX/JTDX -- hopefully your browser doesn't block it but may warn you multiple times.
If you can do a "Save As" you can save it directly in \WSJT\WSJTX\bin and replace the libhamlib-4.dll that is there.
http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/dll32/libhamlib-4.dll
http://n0nb.users.sourceforge.net/dll64/libhamlib-4.dll
#3 If you don't save directly you need to open a file browser and move the file that way.
If you're not familiar with that here's a video on the file browser - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AyVqCJrs9dk

The current version of WSJT-X ( 2.5.4) has worked without issue on my Windows 11 since Windows 11 first became a thing
about a year ago..
