Can't select DAX Audio RX1 in Windows sound panel

Bill Speedie · December 2017

Looks like the Windows update scrambled my com ports again. This time I can't set DAX Audio RX 1 to use with WSJT-X as I had done before. The Win sound panel shows it on the list but it's grayed out and won't let me set it as the default. I tried using DAX Audio RX 2 but that didn't work, probably because I need to make corresponding changes elsewhere. This is with SmartSDR v.1.11.12. Thanks for any advice -- Bill, KA6T

I had this problem. Dudley helped get it going. I just switched to a different RX. I used RX-2 and changed the other DAX setting to correspond and you will get a signal to the app.

Later (just checking to see what was going on) I went in and disabled most of the RX ports on the playback windows sound dropdown, (be sure to enable RX-1) and reboot to be sure. With not so many ports to display, RX-1 then showed up on the WSJT-X dropdown and you could select it. Apparently display overload.

Same problem here , I had to switch to DAX channel 2 to get data to MMTTY and WSTJ-X. How do I get DAX channel 1 back, delete and reload SSDR?? Wish I could find a way to stop Win 10 updates. All of the suggeste fixes on the internet have not worked.

Thanks for the suggestions. I managed to get "receive" back by uninstalling SSDR and reinstalling it. Am suspecting the problem was not Windows but a Bluetooth device. Reinstallation after removing it gave me back RX1 audio.
