Dax Audio Drivers will not install on Windows 11

I installed the latest software SmartSDR v4.1.5 and the DAX audio drivers will not install and function. I get a driver error message. So, I have no sound when running SmartSDR. Any advice?

    Hi Max, this is a known issue with DAX. Starting tomorrow with V 4.2.18, the issue is resolved. I would recommend installing 4.2.18 when it appears tomorrow.

    Getting sound from SmartSDR is not generally dependent on DAX, depending on what you are doing. If you want to hear the radio from the PC speakers, select PC Audio in the upper right-hand side of SmartSDR. If you want audio from the radio itself, you need to plug in powered speakers or headphones into the corresponding jacks on the back.

Rich Text Editor. To edit a paragraph's style, hit tab to get to the paragraph menu. From there you will be able to pick one style. Nothing defaults to paragraph. An inline formatting menu will show up when you select text. Hit tab to get into that menu. Some elements, such as rich link embeds, images, loading indicators, and error messages may get inserted into the editor. You may navigate to these using the arrow keys inside of the editor and delete them with the delete or backspace key.
