Locked (WSJTX) WSJT-X Not Working on New Windows 11 Computer #windows11 #install
|
Reino Talarmo
Note: With CAT control of the rig, in WSJT-X Settings->Radio tab I had to set Force Control lines RTS HIGH for my TS590SG. I don't know if everyone using CAT will need to do that. I had also screwed up and followed the advice of a YouTube video to leave RTS Low.Hi Glenn, Thanks for your detailed instructions. I have a comment about TS-590SG. It uses flow control to prevent command collisions. The best use of that functionality is to select in The Radio setting for Handshake either Default or Hardware and not to Force Control Lines, just leave those grayed out. You may want to test that. The same may apply to other rigs as well, some of those have a menu setting in the rig for selection. 73, Reino OH3mA |

Williams, G (af8c) <af8c@...>
I suggest reading the following Windows 11 sound help from a web page that is not involved with this reflector (below). In summary you have to turn off all Windows 11 attempts to fix the sound environment that Windows 11 can process but previous Windows 10, 8, etc. did not have fixes for. You don't want Windows messing with your receive or transmit passband flatness nor messing with echo processing, phasing etc.

https://ham.stackexchange.com/questions/20729/wsjt-x-problems-with-windows-11 ------------ Also, just this past Friday night I had to "fix" some problems in Windows 10 with WSJT-X. The solution as I found it was in the following series. 1 While looking at Device Manager, open up the "Ports(COM & LPT)" You should have a COM device for the USB port that has a driver name associated with CPIOx something. That driver comes from Silicon Graphics. You may have to have that driver installed per the Silicon Graphics instructions that must be followed literally. That driver is for establishing a USB port that acts like a COM port. Windows doesn't come that way I would guess. See "caveat" below. 2 With that driver showing, AFTER installing it correctly, and with the device at the other end, in this case the Signalink USB, I presume you can unplug the USB cable while watching "Ports(COM & LPT)" and see the COM port go away. Then plug in the USB cable and watch that COM port come back again. IF it does that, you are ready for step 3. 3 Close Device Manager but go to Windows SETTINGS and find the Windows setting line for "SYSTEM Display Sound Notifications -> Sound". Click on Sound and open that up for picking the Microphone and Speakers settings. You have to tell the Windows microphone and speaker setups to use USB Codec. While you are at it, check that speaking into your microphone excites the test bar. When you have USB codecs in microphone and speaker, then go to step 4. 4 Close Windows SETTINGS and start up WSJT-X, and then set USB Codecs in File->SETTINGS->Audio tab and get back control of the radio to get control of the Signalink audio functions and possibly CAT radio control if you are using that. You can't tell WSJT-X to find USB codecs without doing step 3 first. Note: With CAT control of the rig, in WSJT-X Settings->Radio tab I had to set Force Control lines RTS HIGH for my TS590SG. I don't know if everyone using CAT will need to do that. I had also screwed up and followed the advice of a YouTube video to leave RTS Low. CAVEAT: All of the above was for my situation. I can't promise it will fix your situation but I would suggest that you can't skip the steps. While you are at it, if you are in Windows 11, go back to the top of this email and see if you need to do the Windows 11 thing. --73, Glenn, AF8C On 10/4/2022 4:47 PM, Stan Galonski via groups.io wrote:
All, My old setup was a Windows 10 desktop, Signalink usb, Yaesu FTDX5000 and running HRD as the logging program all worked well with 1,000's of QSOs logged. I upgraded my Desktop to a Dell Inspiration 3900 running Windows 11, I can't get WSJT to work, no stations show in Band activity or the Graph, Tune will show 100 watts then drop to 35 watts after 5 seconds. I can Log a dummy QSO and it will show on the HDR log. I have set up WSJT and HRD per their manual, HDR seems fine unless I start WSJT first then I get a "com 3 in use by another program". --

I will second what has been said about those pesky Prolific drivers.
I found this from a posting on the TS2000 group some time back. Installed this and clicked on Update Driver and proceeded to direct Windoze to use the 3.2 driver instead. NO BSOD this time!!! I was about to throw that thing away but now I have a USB to CI-V adapter working just fine.

Might not be related to this particular problem, but I found out that a lot of knock-off Prolific chips were used to make various ham radio interface cables. Prolific recently rewrote their drivers to no longer recognize these knock-off chips. I found that out when my interface to my IC-7000 no longer worked after my laptop updated from Win10 to Win11 earlier this year. I ended up buying a new cable with the FTDI chip and it solved the problem. The other solution is to find the older Prolific driver and install it. It's hard to find. Now, all my newer cables have the FTDI chip, but I can still use that older cable with my old Win10 desktop. |

Dennis, Problem resolved, up and running. Re-seated all connection (5Xs to remove any possible oxidation) - Signalink, Radio serial port, USB hub and USB to serial adapter.

Thanks, I have a new one on order with the FTDI Chip and upgrading my old USB Hub just in case. The new Desktop has fewer USB ports then my old one.

That's my plan, I'm going to start with cabling and set up each one. I know that the rig interface works because I can run HRD - see and control the rig and log, so that's the last step. It has to be something simple that I missed, lots of Ham running my same setup without issues on a Windows 11 system. Thanks for you help and suggestions, I'll post when I get it working.

Stan, That device will not show up in the USB controllers tree. Expand the Audio tree to find a USB Audio CODEC device if the driver installed correctly.

I have 12 devices under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", can't tell which one is for the signalink, have gone through each one and updated the driverHi, You may disconnect USB cable to see what changes. Or power up Signalink without Signalink USB cable connected and then connect the USB cable to see changes. Also Signalink power down will do. 73, Reino OH3mA |
