DVK playback on speakers

in SmartSDR+

I’m not going to focus on the other features headaches, since there are plenty of posts about them already—especially regarding noise reduction.

The DVK is a great feature that I use during NETs, particularly when I’m watching TV and just want to check in and listen.
However, even with Monitor (“MON”) turned off, every time I use the DVK I hear my voice extremely loud through my external speakers, PC audio or Maestro, depending on which output is selected.

Is there any way to avoid hearing myself when the DVK Transmit after pressing F1 to F12? I can already see the TX activity on the panadapter, so there’s really no need for me to hear my own audio. If I ever do want to monitor it, I can just click Preview—

    Same issue here the volume of the DVK is so high that it is problematic, a way to stop the monitoring of the DVK would be really appreciated.

    This is most likely not a fix for you, but I realized if I push my foot transmit switch at the same time, or just before I push the F key, there is no sound played on the loudspeaker (same with MOX but more challenging :-) ).

    I have another issue though, using N1MM in contesting I did not find how to disable the Focus on N1MM function keys in order to use Flex DVK records! I always have to hit F1 with the mouse on SDR window.
    With focus on N1MM it will trigger the N1MM Function keys '.wav' files as focus is on N1MM and not Flex SDR anymore.

    @HB2U Good workaround but the whole point is not to press PTT at all, but again good workaround. Thanks

    If this is not fixed in 4.1.5 and the release notes show that it is, please report it via a support ticket.

    @F4BPO @HB2U It turns out that the audio can be controlled by the volume of the monitor(MON), even if it’s disabled. Simply decrease the volume, and you won’t hear the recording. Works great for me now.

    It was an easy and unexpected fix. I appreciated their solution—they took ownership of my ticket and ensured we were covered.
