Nothing that shouldn't be.? I've muted some of the features of the built-in audio only.? The two USB sound cards - they both are fine as far as the settings (checked with both alsamixer and QasHctl (I ran across a situation where that software found a setting that alsamixer missed - that shut down audio out in another application).
History of this problem - more recent.
I lucked into this small footprint computer and thought it would be a useful thing to have a dedicated computer running radios.? (Using Ubuntu 18.04)
I first installed Quisk.? It worked.? Upgraded to gain some functions I wanted, it worked.? Then months later started having problems.? Found the one affecting the Si570... but still something a bit strange.? Then I discovered this problem.? Installed Pulseaudio volume control.? That helped in diagnosing some receive issues, no reliable Tx.? Installed alsamixer, could not find anything wrong.? Updated Quisk to most recent version.? Still no Tx audio to radio.? Installed QasHctl, still nothing wrong found. Finally joined here and asked for help.
If I can figure out which file is the config file for Quisk (most recent version), I'm going to look through that.? I'd activated the digital signals some time ago, but my present setup doesn't require that - and maybe there is some sort of interference there.
It's a tough one.? Very irritating and frustrating.
(Thanks for replying Sid!)

Have you checked with alsamixer to make sure nothing is muted?

I tried different combinations - none would put out an audio signal that could be detected (if it was there, it was below the sensitivity of my scope - which is more or less usual for decent moderate cost scopes).?? Some settings, of course, wouldn't work at all... no receive and Quisk would even crash on trying to transmit. The reliable combination that always reliably received a signal (sometimes - but not often, I'd have to reset the Softrock if I made some changes) was using hw:0 and hw:1 (0 being the built-in audio, 1 being the USB audio).?? I know the audio works - the 'test' feature in Ubuntu setup was reliable in outputting a signal that the scope could detect (and could be heard in headphones).?? I've checked everything I know to check, which was rather comprehensive.? It's something between Quisk and the USB port (changing ports didn't make a difference either), and 'feels' to be on the software side (maybe an update to Ubuntu?).
I've even looked into the update idea a bit, but what I found either didn't apply or didn't make a difference.
It's got me really frustrated.?? I've been trying to get on 2m ssb for many years, but don't have the money to buy something (unemployed and disabled - although that may change as I may finally have a job I can handle starting next year).?? Getting this going again would also open up some other possibilities on HF as well.?? (I may even try to scrounge parts - I've always been rather good at that - to build a 6m transverter.)

Any suggestions on where to check next? It doesn't seem to be hardware related at all... something between Quisk and the digital signal going into the USB audio devices!
I have experienced similar problems with Linux Mint 19.2 (Ubuntu 18.04 based).
Have you selected the right pulseaudio devices in your sound settings?
