QMX and digital modes with Win 8 and Win 10


 

Hello! Just wanted to describe the situation with my QMX. I've installed the latest beta 04.
?1. Win 10 laptop has found three COM ports without problem. WJST-X and JS8-Call work fine. WinLink/VARA works OK except one problem: during TX QMX receive very low audio signal via USB cable. So it doesn't transmit any material signal. That is why I have to use speakerphone in VARA soundcard settings for output signal instead. Then everything is OK.?
2. Win 8 tablet with 8" screen. Had to install STM driver and manually "show" to the system where to find drivers for all three COM ports and all three QMX devices that the system saw at the beginning. After that it started to see three new COM ports and one audio device named QMX. Exactly as it is with Win 10 laptop. So I was sure that now everything should be OK. BUT it is not. WJST-X and JS8-Call doesn't work. No CAT control. In spite of the fact that all settings are exactly the same as for Win 10. WinLink/Vara works but with slightly different settings than Win 10 laptop. And it has the same problem with very low audio signal via USB cable. So I use speakerphone in VARA soundcard settings for output signal as well. But at least WinLink works...
Hans, is it possible to make some audio input signal (through USB cable) regulation in menu? In future firmware updates? Or may be you can reproduce this problem with input signal strength and find the solution?
Thanks!

I think it's a good recommendation.
The new release 1_01_004 works perfectly for me on Windows 11 Pro.
The USB audio is very limited. I fix this with the "Voice-Meter" program, which allows me to increase the USB volume by approximately 5 to 10 dB.
Thanks?

Miguel, thanks for the tip on using Voicemeeter to fix the USB volume.
For some reason the VARA-HF modem software does not put full-scale audio into the QMX USB sound device (at least in Windows).
Some posters have recently mentioned using a 'speakerphone' setting in the VARA soundcard settings to boost the volume, but my VARA-HF doesn't seem to have such a setting, and I have the latest.


 

I meant that I just used PC speakerphone - air - QMX microphone instead of USB cable to transfer audio from PC to QMX ))
