Digital Mode Headache

If you've re-installed DAX, there's a good chance there are a BUNCH of ghost audio devices still in the Device Manager.They seem to remain after an uninstall, even after rebooting. Try uninstalling DAX again, then rebooting, then going to Device Manager (Windows Control Panel). Ensure you select View -? Show Hidden Devices. Delete every last DAX device. Reboot. Reinstall DAX. You may need to re-configure FLDigi to get the new devices to "stick." Good luck!

Just for the heck of it, try a different DAX channel. I have a problem with CH1. But whith Ch 5 it works fine. This is with DXLabs, not FLDigi. 73 Greg AB7R

Dave, George's advice worked for me. After doing his suggestion HRD, in my case works flawlessly.

I had the same problem until I UNCHECKED the RIGCAT Box in the Fldidi RIG window. Everything was rebooted and works good. Also, I opened the SmartSDR.xml file in the RIG window. Saved the Fldidi configuration before I rebooted.

Dave, you are using com24 for RigCat, however, it should be the com port that is created when you first install SmartCAT. In my case it is com4 as that is the CAT port directly to the radio. To confirm what that port is open SmartCAT and under the main tab look at what is displayed in the "Connect 3rd Party Program to Port". That is the CAT port you want to use in fldigi. Second, as already mentioned you need SmartSDR.xml not PowerSDR.xml. I also use Hardware PTT where I created a PTT port through SmartCAT and assigned RTS as active. I then enabled Hardware PTT in fldigi specifying the lower port number of the pair created for PTT and the I checked "Use separate serial port PTT" and also checked "Use RTS". You can use this or stay with the "CAT command for PTT" in the RigCAT tab in fldigi. As far as what to do since it doesn't work now, I would uninstall SmartSDR and SmartCAT, reboot, and then reinstall both. Hopefully you should be ok after this. Don
