Re: Setting Up FLDIGI (Olivia) with a Yaesu FT 710

Very good info, Daniel!
?
Also, of course it's good to turn off all audio effects or enhancements.? If you run multiple digi mode programs at the same time, you need to uncheck "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device".? You have to do this for the "recording" and the "playback" devices for your radio audio devices.
?
Regarding Windows always changing the default device whenever you plugin your radio? (which is undesired and can't be disabled in Windows), I have been using an open source program called SoundSwitch.? ? It can be configured to detect when Windows changes the default audio device and just switch it back to the devices you want to be the defaults.? I have it always switch back to the computer's speakers and microphone.? It just quietly runs down in the system tray and does what it's supposed to do.? Helps promote a stable configuration for your comms laptop.

Here are the instructions that I found on the internet for configuring Soundswitch to do this.? Works great for me.

How to stop Windows 10 changing my default sound device?
?
From this post:?
?
There is no way to disable that behavior in Windows 10 without third-party software.
?
However, I found an open source program called SoundSwitch (website | github) that can be configured to forcefully keep your desired audio device selected as a default.
?
In order to set it up to only do that, install it, then open configuration and change following options:
?
- On "Playback" tab don't select anything and uncheck "Hotkey enabled" checkbox
- On "Recording" tab don't select anything and uncheck two "Hotkey enabled" checkboxes
- On "Profiles" tab click "+ Add" button
? ? + "Name": anything (e.g. Force default device)
? ? + "Also switch default device" and "Restore devices when trigger ends" are irrelevant here (have no effect when there is a single forced profile)
? ? + "Notify when profile is triggered": keep if needed
? ? + Set 4 devices which are Default Playback, Default Recording, Default Communication Playback and Default Communication Recording. Note the order.
? ? + In "Available triggers" dropdown select "Force profile" and click "Add" button
? ? + Click "Save" button.
- On "Settings" tab defaults are well suited already. You can change notification option (By default it will show a transparent banner overlay every time it re-selects a device).
