No audio with Flex 1500

Ken Broome

Just loaded SDR 1500 softward to my laptop (W8OS) and get no audio.  Anyone know what my problem might be?  Thanks, Ken

Make sure things are set right up in the mixer pull down. and speakers are connected. Any audio in head phones?

Ken Broome

Thanks Bill, I only changed one thing from the default download and that is the 20sec delay in the TX mode to protect my amp.  No audio in head phones or computer speakers.  I'll check the Mixer pull down box!  Thanks again for your reply!  Ken

I have the Flex 3000. not sure of the 1500. the speakers plug into the back of the rig right?  and head phones plugged into the phone jack on the radio?

As Bill had mention check the options in the mixer menu. Try clicking on the VAC1 and see if that does anything. Sometimes that route works.

Remember that no audio is sent through USB connector. You must pass a physical coax wire from headphones output to mic or line input of the laptop.

There is another way to get audio in the laptop  without physical wires: Install VAC (Virtual audio Cables) from Muzychenko and use Audio Repeater program to repeat VAC Line 1 output as input and sent it to the sound card ot your laptop. It works very well.

Thanks Bill!  No speaker plug-in on back, just headphones on front.  I have solved the problem now as I had forgotten to turn on my amp on my audio to the external speakers.  Thanks again!  Ken
