That problem is centered around the "new" way that Win 11 handles sound devices.
I have a possible solution for you, but am presently unable to get to my computer to send that info to you.
If someone else here has not helped you, I will do so as soon as I can.

Subject: [VARA-MODEM] Radio Audio in Computer Speakers
I'm using a Kenwood TS-480SAT and a Signalink USB to run Winlink.? I have the paid version of VARA HF.? I am running Windows 11 on a Dell Inspiron 15 3000 laptop.? I don't use WInlink that often, so I thought I would check it out.?
?
I could receive signals, but the PTT on the Signalink would not illuminate, so no RF transmit from the radio.
?
Eventually I got that fixed, and I can send and receive e-mail via Winlink.?
?
The issue is that audio from the radio is going to the speakers on my laptop.? I get audio on the radio AND the computer speakers, simultaneously.? This is not a show stopper, but it is something different that before.
?
Here is the information from Signalink to solve the problem:? "TIP:? If the comms program is properly configured to use the SignaLink's USB Audio Codec sound card for both transmit and receive, but the transmit audio is heard in your computer speakers, then you can usually fix this by restarting the comms program.? If this doesn't work, then open the comms program's sound card setup and select a different sound card for output.? Click OK or Save (as applicable) to save the settings, then re-open the program's sound card setup again and set it back to USB Audio Codec.? This should resolve the issue." ?
?
I tried the above fix, but the issue remains.
?
Has anyone else encountered this issue and instituted a successful fix?
?
Thanks,
?
John
