locked WSJT-X Stops keying transceiver...
|
Keying from WSJT-X work fine until the rig is left unattended for a short period of time, then WSJT-X will not key flex transceiver. After shutting down and re-starting WSJT-X (version 2.5.4) and JTAlert (version 2.51.3), all works fine until the rig is left unattended again. Stumped. Ideas? Are other experiencing issues? Running Windows 10, version 21H2.

I have the same problem with Flex 6600 and 4x WSJT-X v2.5.4.
Which power setting?

There is no power management on Network adapters in Win 11. I did try no sleep no display off plan.

On the device manager, check the settings of the network card/ adaptor and untick the power management of the device, it's intended to "save" energy when not in use 73 Izzy 4x1uf בתאריך יום ב׳, 16 במאי 2022, 10:45, מאת <asobel@...>:

All, thanks for your replies / suggestions. I found a number of devices (Network, USB) with Power Management turned on, which I have now turned off. Will assess if this action has had any impact to issue and advise. 73,

All, turning off power management did not resolve the issue. WSJT-X will key the FLEX but there is NO RF output. Mid-range pitch sound occurs during this period, which is usually not the case.

Do you have monitors with built in speakers? Are they connected with HDMI? If so, try disabling the video card sound output in Device Manager. Dave wo2x Sent from my waxed string and tin cans.

That indicates that there has been a reassignment of the output audio device in WSJTX, with it switching from the flex slice device to another device. de Laurie VK3AMA

Hello Laurie - thanks for replying. Could very well be the case however the RX / TX audio selections have not changed within WSJT-X, and are correct. If a re-assignment is taking place, it is doing so without any personal involvement. The only solution that I have come across is to either re-start WSJT-X, or to select a different configuration option within WSJT-X which re-establishes a new setup. Works for a while, then fails again.

Likely the audio device re-enumeration that Windows is performing is due to a device being unplugged or going to sleep as part of a power-save setting. de Laurie VK3AMA

Hi Craig, Alternatively, it may be a minor RFI effect which only manifests in that one symptom. PS: I just watched a 20m Tx cycle, followed by a 40m Tune then 40m Rx Cycle; Tx became disabled around time 40m Tune took place!!

Each audio device gets a Windows assigned id number and this number is used for playing sound, not the actual device name. WSJTX has no way of knowing if the device id has been changed due to Windows re-enumeration and can be sending the audio to the old id that is no longer valid for the sound device selected. Windows does not provide any mechanism to notify applications if there has been a change. JTAlert would suffer a similar problem if I had not taken steps to identify device id changes. Every minute, JTAlert in the background confirms the assigned id of its enabled sound device to ensure the correct id is used in the sound play instructions sent to Windows. WSJTX does not perform this id check, I seem to recall it is something to do with limitations of the QT framework upon which it is coded, but I may be mistaken. de Laurie VK3AMA
