Thanks Chuck but really Neal deserves all the credit for this thread. I agree with one other poster that Flex made a good decision bringing him on board. I have worked with Neal over the past 4 years and alway found his advice to be spot on and at a level that a end user can understand.0

What is a "Level tab" where can I find it. I wish I could save my device manager audio Flex settings (28 of them) to a file for the next time I have to do these tedious procedures. Thanks for your input, Jim0

Don't kid yourself - Linux audio has its warts, too! I can't count the times I had to redo the audio configuration for wsjt-x or Fldigi after an update followed by a reboot. I still prefer Linux and MacOS over Windows for many things, although when SSDR on Windows is working correctly, it works very well.1

Having used computers since 70's IBM360's days, I agree, no OS is perfect. But W10 is terribly brittle - or else I'm giving support to the really unlucky crowd! Most Linux support is Windows users trying to enforce Windows on Linux, and if I relied on MacOS, I'd be lonely.
I only bring up my wishes because I do know that W10 unreliability has cost sales.

I use Mac OS when doing digital stuff. I find that dogparkSDR along with xDAX, xCAT and Loopback work great together. Mac OS is a more stable environment than Windows OS, that's my opinion.2

Not an opinion, but a demonstrable fact. MacOS is demonstrably more stable.

Hi David, If you are going to use SSDR, Windows 7 is a stable OS to use. Another option is to use a W10 computer that does not access the internet. I do have an airgapped W10 network that runs pretty flawlessly. I'd use the W7 if you have to use Windows.
Or, you can run W10 Enterprise, and lock that beast down big time. I am getting that option soon, as Microsoft has become the biggest impediment of proper computer operation.
To get it fixed on your computer now, Jay or a help ticket should get you running FB, but then you just wait for another update.

I am having issues with Dax on a Windows 10 computer as it relates to Ham Radio Deluxe. I was not getting any waterfall or audio input at all. Put in a ticket to HRD support and they tried to help but then stopped responding to my requests. It seems that Tim's Dax uninstall/reinstall fix he posted works but only for a short time. I created a batch file that will automate the uninstalling and reinstalling Dax on a Win 10 computer. It seems to me with the fact that Windows 7 is reaching end of life on January 14, 2020 and there will be no more updates to it that there should be a push to get Dax working with Windows 10.0

Thanks Neal, this fixed my problem!!!0

That's the reason that Windows 7 works so well, almost never updated any more.

Max, thanks, this worked for me. My missing DAX IQ RX1-4 devices were over in audio recording devices until I found and renamed them.0

Hi Holger, the editing option is available in Control Panel/Sound0

Also, if you look at the description instead of the name, it is clear what the device is. The sequence number can just be the sequence the devices are found in, taking into account any properly named devices with existing sequence numbers. Sometimes there will also be multiple devices of the same type, left over after all sequence numbers are accounted for. These are the devices that are candidates for deletion.-1

Hi I have the mess with my DAX audio and can't anymore connect to the WSJT.... I see multiple DAX TX, RX Reserved or not in the Record sound settings. Duplicated (or triplicated) are showing not connected I can let them activated or disactivated. I guess this multiple installations are giving me the troules (WIN10 64 bits, SDR2.6.2). Any idea how to solve it?0

I was under the impression that most of the Windows update issues had been solved with the latest SSDR versions. Not being a Windows user (Mac and Linux), I can’t give much more advice that given above already.
I suggest your best avenue is to create a Helpdesk request.

I have had good luck with Windows updates on my Flex lately. This in no way indicates I trust they won't make a mess in the future

This whole discussion topic might be useful under the 'DAX' category. I never would have thought to look here. And it will be very useful for me to continue working with a DAX/fldigi problem. Just sayin.0
