Locked iIC7300 win 11 receive audio problems #windows11


Gary Rogers
 

The FTDX10 has it’s own sound card. No need to use the signalink.

St. Cuda.

Are you using an IC-7300 & signalink?

That sounds like RFI....I'm gradually trying to improved RFI fix recommendations...any other suggestions for t

RFI Problems

Tests
If problems are occurring only during transmit:
    #1 Reduce power to zero and see if the problem stops -- if it does stop than it is defintely RFI.  You will see certain power levels on certain bands that cause problems.
If problems are occurring during non-transmit periods
    #2 Check USB Power Management option is turned off on all USB devices
        Device Manager for Windows.
        For Linux set autosuspend=-1 https://docs.kernel.org/driver-api/usb/power-management.html


RFI Fixes:
    #1 Free - Move USB cables to another port -- some ports are more susceptible than others.
    #2 Free -- Check your grounding system.  rod-outside-the-shack is a common problem when it's not bonded to the main house ground. 
        Common grounding mistakes:
        A. Ground rod outside the shack that is not bonded to the main house ground.
        B. Shack equipment bonded incorrectly (e.g. daisy chained instead of common ground point)
        C. Desktop computer grounded to the house ground instead of the shack ground.
        D. Ethernet cables that bring RFI into the computer...which then ends up going to the rig too since the ethernet shield is tied to the case which is tied to USB shield which is tied to pin 4 on the USB cable (a very common problem on most all USB devices -- see my QRZ page).
        E. Wall warts -- 24VAC supplies in sprinkler and alarm systems are notorious for picking up RFI into your electrical system.
        F. Speaker wires
        G. Lamps (yes...lamps around the house have unshielded wires as do many other appliances).


        B through G may all need chokes.    
        http://www.k9yc.com/GroundingAndAudio.pdf 
        
    #3 Add some USB shield isolators (see my QRZ page).  I use one on my SignaLink for example.
    #4 Good USB cables like this
    https://www.amazon.ca/Tripp-U023-006-Device-Ferrite-Chokes/dp/B003MQ29B2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=11YRNPWDVWGCU&keywords=usb+cable+with+choke&qid=1658187349&sprefix=usb+cable+with+choke%2Caps%2C139&sr=8-5
    #5 Maybe free (if you have chokes...otherwise can get a bit costly) -- add chokes to USB cables first, then all other cables including power, ethernet, and control cables.
    Fair-Rite torroids are good quality -- do NOT buy cheap Chinese ones --  https://www.fair-rite.com/product/toroids-5943003801/  You can use clip-ons but torroids allow multiple wraps and give better results.
    https://www.fair-rite.com/product/round-cable-snap-its-431176451/
    I couldn't find type 31 torroids at Fair-Rite as of 20220721 but Palomar has some palomar-engineers.com/ferrite-products/ferrite-cores/ferrite-ring-toroid-combo-pack/
    Newark also carries them https://newark.com/c/passive-components/emc-rfi-suppression/ferrites-ferrite-assortments?brand=fair-rite

I have been using 11 for several months, yuck!  Most all ham programs are ran in Win 8 mode, especially my mouse.  11 was working pretty good until an update about three months ago, now it loses the audio and mic settings. Then WSJT and another program has to be rebooted to work again, which can happen in the middle of a FT8 QSO, don't remember an FT4 problem like this.  Sadly, it will do this with 11 and my SignLink only powered.  That is why I am thinking an 11 update.........

my 590 has a menu option for using the 13 pin or usb ports. does the 7300
have the same thing, and could it be needing setting that way ( to USB )

cannot get the audio to work correctly. In the sound menu on win 11 I can
adjust the bars for the USB Audio Codex from zero to full. However, the bar
graph on the WJST software either is still or jumps around with no
decoding. The waterfall is working correctly and transmit works fine as
well. I would like to hear from win 11 users their remedy, as so many say
try this or that which as I said above, I have tried everything I have read
so far without any success. Thanks in advance for any assistance you may
