This is getting kind of frustrating. Just when everything (phone, cw or wsjt) seems to work fine.... the next time I open console and wsjt I cant get wsjt to send full audio to console, just a few miliwatts come out. I start checking my audio settings on all and then somewhat "magicly" wsjt sends full audio. If I shut down wsjt for a moment I have to go through the whole process again. This morning wsjt would make console crash as soo as I hit "tune" on wsjt and I have to close all programs and reboot the FDM-Duo and restart.
What the heck is going on?

I get the impression from comments around here that the order in which you start the programs involved makes a difference.

Re: Weird things happening
Screenshots of Console (not WSJT) would help, especially when the output is low. Make sure the TX panel is visible.N2EIK wrote: ↑Sun Nov 22, 2020 10:26 am This is getting kind of frustrating.

Screenshots. Will work with these settings. When it stops working I have to uncheck and re-check, sometimes several times, then it will work and the settings are right back where I started.

Re: Weird things happening
Ah,
I'm using that soundcard - you should send the audio to Console via a VAC.

Re: Weird things happening
Well that didnt work the way we planned.....
I had a VAC line that I used to use for MARS, so I tried it and got this weird output (see the pic with both sidebands (???), so I went back to my prior config and still goit the bad output. rebooting did nothing but I can switch to SW2 and it works perfectly(see second pic). Not sure what happened or how to correct it.

Re: Weird things happening
Got it working again.. well the way it was working prior. click-unclick-click-unclick...
Beats the crap outta me whats going on. My issue really is interfacing third party software... WSJT-X. The process should not be this frustrating. Settings should not have to be set and re-set. I really want console to be my #1 software but it's wearing me down.

Re: Weird things happening
For goodness sake - do NOT cut up screenshots, you remove a lot of important information.
So, please post again and show the whole image otherwise I cannot help you.

You CANNOT send direct to the FDM-DUO soundcard, you MUST send the data into Console, the screenshot will show me what you are doing.

Re: Weird things happening
Simon,
SUCCESS!!!! I had to un-install VAC and re-install. My original install ed VAC was corrupt??? I Created two new VAC's, to and from console. That worked and not only that, this morning I powered everything up and didnt have to do a darn thing, WSJT-X worked first time.
Yes, VAC is a must-do! My apologizes for getting frustrated and many thanks for helping.
