    Windows 10 is a journey down a Stochastic rabbit hole. I found my audio problem after an update left me without audio in WSJT-X. The DAX  Audio settings were changed in WSJT-X. Either switched to mono from left, or vice versa.  All my other soundcard programs worked FB after the update.

    Annoying part was that there were two ATNO's I was trying to work when I found the update problem had left me soundless.

    It's just like the cool old British sports cars with their dodgy Lucas Electrics. You never know what is going to let you sitting by the side of the road, but you know it is going to happen.

    Hi Alan

    Did you check to see if the firewall was on or off for local networks?  It sounds like it was on based on your comments and then when you allowed it, the firewall created a rule that allowed DAX to work.  

    That is when when you upgraded back to 3.1.8 it still worked as you allowed for an exception rule to be generated.

    Firewall was on.

    Yes, I believe some way, the windows upgrade removed the firewall rule.  When I downgraded SDR, windows asked permission to reinstall the rule for DAX.

    Then, I again upgraded SDR.  All good.

    Morel of this story you now don't have to rename your DAX drivers following a feature update, you now have to fix the firewall issues. LOL.

    I have the same issue with the latest 3.4.21 package. It appears to be the identical description as shown above, private network, NO DAX streaming, no firewall setup, DAX is listed as permitting audio in windows. It worked last weekend with RTTY contest prior to upgrading software.

    Yup, I had to go into the rules and change some stuff around - a real pity that Windows blocks a lot of legit stuff, but malware and virii? "Come on in bros - make yourself at home!😀

    I found it necessary to delete all versions of SDR on the computer and reinstall the latest 3.4.21 and it now works properly (again).
