V4: Lost PC Sidetone on CWX-Sent Characters

in SmartSDR for Windows

On prior versions, I was able to hear CW characters sent via the CWX windows on my PC speakers, but once upgraded to V4, I no longer hear them. I'm not talking about CW sidetone from a paddle/key, as that is available on rear panel. I haven't found any new setting to re-enable this. Any guidance from the community?

    I just tested this and sent CWX characters via SmartLink / PC and it I was able to hear the characters being sent. Are you sure your Monitor was turned up?

    You might first try resetting the radio and testing again. If not, please open a support ticket so we can figure out what is going on.

    Issue resolved. Flex tech support indicated they didn't think it was a V4 issue, so I went back and completed a number of radio cold reboots and PC reboots, and the issue resolved itself on the third set. Note, I followed the release notes install process precisely, including radio reboots, etc. Nothing had changed in my system except for the V4 install. I would be interested to hear of anyone else having the issue and what resolved it.

    Good news that it is fixed and was not a software issue.
