Can't set DAX TX as default output device

w5ap

Under latest Win10, I can't set the default sound device for the output to DAX TX, because the default button in sound devices is grayed out.  I've already re-loaded all the DAX drivers. This is a windows problem that could not be resolved by doing a windows problem solver (shows an icon with device not fixed) or by going back to a previous restore to an earlier date on the computer.  Help or ideas appreciated

I'm not sure what you're suggesting as I don't want windows anything set as the default. I want to use DAX TX so that I can transmit with N1MM with MMTTY selecting the TX DAX as an output so that it can send AFSK for example. So far I have been able to disable RealTeck hi def audio which is the default audio output device. And Craig, if I don't select DAX Audio TX, doesn't the DAX control panel show DAX output streaming in yellow instead of green?  So is this caused by SmartSDR?

You should never use a DAX device as a default Windows audio recording or playback device.  This can cause all sorts of issues, so the most recent versions of DAX do not allow for this.  You need to use a physical sound device, line an embedded sound card or a USB audio device connected to the PC to provide the default recording and playback audio devices for Windows.
