WSJT-X Not Receiving Signal

in DAX

I configured WSJT-X according to the YouTube video showing Flex + WSJT-X setup and even tho I configured it exactly as in the video I still don't receive any signal whatsoever. Inside of Windows Sounds panel (mmsys.cpl) the green audio bar jumps on DAX RX1 indicating that it's working, but even tho this works, there is still no signal coming out of WSJT-X. Also there''s a weird thing that when mmsys.cpl is opened the Mic Stream and RX Stream 1 inside of SmartSDR DAX turns green, but the moment mmsys.cpl is closed, it goes back to blue.
Could anyone help me on how to finally make the WSJT-X work with FLEX 8600-M?

    A good clue is mmsys.cpl makes DAX turn green. This is normal because it is only when DAX receives a connection does it turn green. Therefore, that it goes to blue after mmsys.cpl is closed shows that WSJTX is not connected and that might mean that in WSJTX settings>audio you do not actually have "DAX RX 1 (FlexRadio DAX)" for the input. So first off, check to see if this what has been selected and nothing else - it must be exactly as printed.

    The output selection should be DAX TX (FlexRadio DAX), by the way.

    If you already have these settings, report back. Note that the Community appreciate screen shots to make it easier to help you.

    Slawomir,

    After verifying that DAX RX 1 is selected in WSJT…..

    If mmsys.cpl is showing received signals and wsjt is not, close and restart WSJT..

    ( or click the OK button in WSJT>File>Settings tab. )

    In general, WSJT must be started AFTER SSDR DAX is running.

    Now it finally works with receiving the signal, thanks to EI4KF. Must've eyeballed the settings before. Now the issue is different (as in attached image), the signal is received, but it shows an "Rig Connection Error" and doesn't read the frequencies.
