Windows 10 Remote Desktop Connection and WSJT-X Audio Issues

in Third-Party Software

I have a Windows 10 Pro (W10 Pro) Remote Desktop Connection (RDC) client connecting to a W10 Pro RDC server running SmartSDR, WSJT-X, JTAlert, FRStack, HRD, ..... Both computers are in the same house. A laptop is the RDC client that I'm using from the comfort of the living room sofa connecting to the shack PC in the basement.

The DAX control panel appears normal with Slice A streaming the audio. The WSJT waterfall is all messed up. I have confirmed the correct audio sources in WSJT-X. Remote Desktop Audio is set to play on the remote computer. Screen snapshots below. I'd like to see if I can get this working with RDC. I have not tried VNC but that is my planned workaround if the RDC issue can't be resolved. Prefer to keep everything local so things like TeamViewer are considered undesirable.

    I have a similar setup using a VNC.

    Check your audio I/O settings in WSJT-X.


    Here are mine:

    Figured it out. Looks like both RDC and VNC have the same issue. Based on a sample of one (one for VNC and one for RDC), one must start SmartSDR and WSJT from the remote connection. My initial attempts at remoting from the sofa which caused the issue was as follows:

    1) Operate from the shack computer

    2) Leave all apps (SmartSDR, FRStack, HRD, WSJT-X, JTAlert) running

    3) Later tonight, remote desktop to the shack PC from the laptop on the sofa. WSJT waterfall all red.

    Via RDC, I shut down all the apps, restarted them via RDC and all good. Looks like VNC has the same issue.
