Smart SDR Version 3 No Audio on Startup

Brad Adams (N4PYI)

I am running a Flex 6300 with a Maestro A Model. Had been running Smart SDR version 2.4.9 for a long time with virtually no issues. I have always with version 2.4.9 and previous versions used my Maestro for digital modes and SSB primarily and the software on the PC for CW as a rule. I would always power off the Maestro and shut down the radio, leaving CAT and DAX running on the PC. After upgrading about a week or so ago to version 3, I am seeing that at times (more often than not) I start up the radio and the Maestro. The radio comes up on the last mode it was left on and works normally. Upon switching to a different profile, I lose TX & RX audio completely. Switching to different profiles changes nothing, but a restart of the radio does and it returns to the profile it started up on and works normally. Again, switching to a different profile kills the audio. What I *think* I have discovered is that, closing DAX and restarting it restores the audio. I am seeing some strange behavior since the upgrade that I never saw previously. Anyone else experienced this or have any insight? I really like the ability to run Smart SDR and the Maestro simultaneously, but it seems there are some bugs floating around in there somewhere.
