    Hi Brad.  Can you elaborate on the following "the setting in Window's Private  setting had not been allow"?  What & where is this setting as I'm not aware of it?

    Hi Bob - I had something similar happen after a W10 update. Everything was working fine, and I was running 20M and 40M FT8 simultaneously, then one slice stopped working. When I look at your WSJT-X waterfall image it’s clear the software isn’t getting audio for some reason (mine looked the same). I had been using DAX channel 2 for my audio for the slice that stopped working. After trying a bunch of other options, I changed it to DAX channel 4, and made the necessary change to the WSJT-X settings. It started receiving audio and decoding again immediately. I suspect that the DAX drivers were corrupted somehow during an update, and I haven’t had time to clean every out and reinstall yet, so I’m just using the other channel for now. YMMV, but couldn’t hurt to try if you haven’t already. Best of luck! 73 Justin KL2D

    As a follow-up for anyone else finding themselves with this problem, I fully resolved my 'bad DAX RX channel 1' issue by following steps 9-11 in the following help desk topic written by Tim Ellison https://helpdesk.flexradio.com/hc/en-us/articles/204017069-How-to-Manually-Re-Install-DAX-Drivers?_g...

    Everything appears to be working perfectly now.

    73, Bob

    The quick way to clean up your settings might be to run SliceMaster.  The setup is super easy, fast and 'just works'.  Just a few mouse clicks.

    See how that goes for you and I bet you'll be good to go.
