I just installed JTAlert 2:16:10 from 2.14.2  on my win 7 pro 64 bit machine and my previously working sounds are no longer playing on JTAlert.   The sound files are still in the correct location and  Winamp will play them. JTAlert is pointed to the right sound file and to the right sound device but the sounds do not play and the Test Sound buttons do not play any sounds either. 

If I select Sound Off and then press Test Sound Output, I get the error window and a windows sound


Is there an easy way to go back to version 2.14.2 ?


thanks  Mark  N1UK

Update:

Restored the computer to 4 days ago, JTAlert was OK then, but no difference here.

Still will not play anything via media player, error RPC server unavailable.

Continuing investigation.

My ‘about info’:
UDP Ports used

--------------------------------

JTAlert_AL.exe        : 57336

JTAlertV2.Manager.exe : 52432

JTAlertV2.Decodes.exe :

JTAlertV2 Manager running (see attachment), but not shown in the volume mixer (as in my 1^st post).

All alerts point to the correct location and sound files exist HOWEVER they do not play individually under Media Player so now suspect it maybe media player issue although having changed the default to VLC where audio works still no audio from JTAlert. Other .wav files will not play either…

On the assumption that JTAlert will ignore the default and always point to Media Player then this must be the issue. Will attempt to repair windows ‘bit by bit’.

See if you have JTAlertV2 Manger running in your task manager.

 

You should also see it in the About box

Yep - Win10 changes the audio settings to those it wants instead of the ones I want.

Release Notes.

2.16.10 (28-Jul-2020)

  *** Includes Callsign database file version 2020-07-28 (2020-Jul-28)

  New Features:

    - Lotw adif files: The QSL_RCVD fields used by LoTW are now treated as
       LOTW_QSL_RCVD fields. If the Adif file header indicates the file was sourced
       from LoTW, the QSL_RCVD to LOTW_QSL_RCVD translation is automatic.

  Changes:

    - Band Activity Display: Has been renamed to Mode Activity Display.

    - Windows notification sounds: The single sound option (introduced with 2.16.9)
       has been extended to two independant sound/volume options. One sound for
       "Errors & Failure" and the other for "Success & Information" notifications.

  Fixes:

    - Windows user names with accented characters: Functions, like Band Activity,
       Text Messages, Sound play, not working when the %localappdata% path contained
       accented characters (Windows user name has these characters, eg. Jesús).
       Caused by a defect in a 3rd party code library that applied incorrect Json
       data encoding to accented characters sent to the JTAlertV2.Manager process.
       (2.15.1 defect).
