Cannot set Port Audio
Greetings,
I am using the latest version of FLDigi on my Win 10 desktop.
I was trying to select one of my Virtual Audio Cables and I get the message shown on the attached picture.
I have Restarted the computer and the message persists.
How can I clear this error and select the input that I want?
I have attached the screen capture and the VAC Control Panel.
I would appreciate any help with this issue.
Thanks,
George, NJ3H

Re: MacBook OS and Failure to Transmit
I don't have or use a digirig so I apologize if my earlier comments were misleading. My primary use of fldigi and flrig are for HF data modes where the radio is directly exposed to the software in the OS as a sound card and a serial port. With a VHF/UHF HT and digirig, how is ptt handled? When I have done VHF packet radio with a Baofeng HT and a Mobilinkd TNC3, the radio has to be put into Vox mode so it goes into transmit when the Mobilinkd device starts outputting audio. If the digirig somehow does signal PTT directly (not vox) then presumably the digirig also exposes a serial port for PTT/CAT control, but that is an assumption I would need you to confirm. I may have mentioned previously that sometimes I do observe fldigi indicating Transmit mode and printing output characters even though the radio never went into TX. I assume this is a breakdown either in the localhost network traffic between fldigi and flrig or a problem with the serial port comms between flrig and the radio. It isn't a rare occurrence and others have confirmed similar behavior, but it isn't reproducible on demand and I haven't spent any time trying to troubleshoot the issue. Usually initiating a 2nd TX does put the radio into TX. So, 1. Please confirm how the digirig handles PTT. Does it expose a serial port for CAT control and PTT? 2. Verify the serial port settings in flrig. The document you shared was for fldigi and flmsg settings, but if you are using flrig then it is flrig that actually keys the PTT. A screenshot of your flrig transceiver setup might be helpful. 3. With the current OS and config that is not working, does it fail 100% of the time, or can you sometimes get the radio to go into TX? What about if you click the Tune button in fldigi? I have a MacBook M3 Pro and I have done some transmitting with it, but it isn't my main shack computer and I don't have it up to date. More critically, I don't own a digirig so that's where my ability to troublsehoot is limited. 73, Daniel (AE4ON) On Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 2:09 PM Thomas M.

Re: FLrig control for Icom IC-738
Taking the CIV plug on a IC 746. I was giving info on how to create a patch cord, the female plugread sleeve and the tip took that data and moved or changed the VFO. I used that radio on Winlink Gateway for a long time. I imagine that the CIV port had the same plug etc in older Icom radios Don Poaps New Westminster, BC VA7DGP DATA VA7QU VOICE Winlink:va7dgp@...

Re: FLrig control for Icom IC-738
The IC-738 is an IC-736 without the internal PSU. I foolishly bought an IC-736 second-hand but never got it working with CAT software. It's 1990's vintage radio. It does have a CI-V interface, but I never found info about the signal levels involved and never
got the interface active.

Re: MacBook OS and Failure to Transmit
Tom I see D74 and Digirig. I'm assuming that Digirig is plugged into Mic and Speaker port on the radio. If so Playback on computer is TX (PTT) and Recieve is Mic on the computer. The squelch is off other wisescreen black. Is this your setup?? 73 Don Poaps New Westminster, BC VA7DGP DATA VA7QU VOICE Winlink:va7dgp@...

Re: MacBook OS and Failure to Transmit
Thanks for the update...

Show quoted text
Your comment below ... I have observed in Windows when either fldigi can't find the audio service OR permission to access the "mic" is turned off, fldigi complains at startup. Not too long ago, it would actually hang, requiring the task manager to kill it. But that bug was fixed...I think in 2024...and now fldigi pops a message saying it can't find the audio device. You write that the message appears to be sent, according to the fldigi TX pane, so fldigi must think it has a audio device and port to talk to. That suggests either the hardware is not handling the radio correctly or the OS is not talking to the hardware (digirig) correctly. You have indicated in the past that the digirig handles the radio, IIRC, so that leaves the possibility that the port is not configured correctly in the OS. These are not definitive statements, but some ideas to kick around. I am not familiar with Mac OS, so no help there... ~R~ On 2025-03-21 16:34:, Dave Garber via groups.io wrote:

Does digrig need drivers? Are they installed. Does a audio codec and com port show in your device manager type window sent by ve3wej on samsung s21+ On Fri, Mar 21, 2025, 3:09 p.m. Thomas M. Fields WA7CHF via <fieldstom45=[email protected]> wrote:

Re: FLRIG 2.0.05 and IC-7300 PTT/Transmit problems in CW

Anders Georgsson
I just made another observation, when I click on "Xmt/Rcv" in the FSK Keying window, the PTT button on the FLRIG illuminates.
When I click on "Send/Pause" in the CW Keying window, the PTT button light remains OFF?
FSK Keying:
CW Keying:
Maybe this is a clue (hopefully not a red herring)

Re: MacBook OS and Failure to Transmit
Hi Daniel,
Thank You for your response, and I apologize for my delayed response. As I stated in my first inquiry, I am somewhat of a novice in setting up my MacBook using Fldigi/Flmsg. When trying to use Fldigi my radio will not transmit. I included a Word document identifying my Fldigi settings for my Macbook Pro in my initial inquiry. I will include that again herein.
With my radio (Kenwood TH-D74) connected to my MacBook and my Digirig, I will try and send a message. The message is processed within the Fldigi software and appears that it is being transmitted. However when I observe the radio, it is not transmitting. I basically have the same settings I had for the Sonoma OS, and prior to upgrading to Sequoia OS, the software and radio operation worked perfectly. Now the radio is not transmitting. It is important to note that when the radio is transmitting you will see a red line come on indicating the radio is in transmit mode. That is not happening now. There is no tones or other audible indicatoin that the radio is actually transmitting.
I think you may be onto something with PTT settings, but I am not sure where or how to make those setting adjustments. The radio is simply not transmitting when Fldigi is showing that a message is being sent. I am not sure what else I can tell you. You can refer to all my current settings for the radio in the file I have included.
Thanks for your help.
Tom

Re: fldigi development test version posted
Hello David, Thank you for the updated FLdigi version! I think I got confused yesterday between the 'Lk' and the 'Rv' button states, my apologies... Today I have tested the functionality of fldigi ver4.2.06.25 and found the following: 1. The 'Lk' Button is now correctly stored and restored upon startup. Great! 2. Yet the logic so far fails for the 'Rv' Button, which stays as set in the 'fldigi.prefs' file, key name 'reverse:1' or 'reverse:0', even though fldigi asks to 'Save Config'. Thus it might be good to enable storing this setting as well, to avoid unnecessary user confusion, although admittedly, the 'Rv' option is not the most important one. 3. Creating and reloading Config Scripts works pretty much as expected. 3 of the 4 Button states are set as stored, but the 'Rv' Button keeps staying unchanged, if a script with the state 'REV:DISABLE' or 'REV:ENABLE' is loaded. Yet the 'Rv' state is mentioned as a configurable script command in the main fldigi Help file, just like the other 3 Button states, so I guess it is expected to function as well. 4. Script loading now works as expected, when loading a script via 'fldigi.exe --script <full-script-path-name>', with the limitation per item 3. In other words, the 'Rv' Button state doesn't follow the definition set in a script file and remains unchanged. - - - - - - Finally, for a future new fldigi release, I'd like to repeat my question(s), which I had asked in the following e-mail: --- Re: [winfldigi] New web hosting site for www.w1hkj 2025-02-04 at 18:32 [this timestamp probably is CET, not UTC or even your local time zone] Hello David, Thank you very much, issue convincingly solved ;-) I attach my set of pending 'other' (still present) observations, hoping that they are clearly described and worth considering for a future update. Quite intentionally, I have not included the well known 'functional' topics still tbd, such as the 'final' definition of the Thor25 mode and (hopefully) the improvement to further stabilize the AFC algorithm. If you consider any of these topics obsolete or simply not worth pursuing, please let me know, that I can take note to finally stop 'bugging' you about them. --- I attach the topics file mentioned therein once more, in case the old e-mail isn't available any more.

FLRIG 2.0.05 and IC-7300 PTT/Transmit problems in CW
#windows11
#cw

#IC-7300
Anders Georgsson
I'm in the process of learning CW, using the MorseMania app and I'm doing really well on instant character recognition, but I have 0 sending skills at the moment.
I'd like to use FLRIG or FLDIGI to send CW but I'm having problems... when I use the CW Keyer in FLRIG, it doesn't trigger the IC-7300 to transmit?
If I use the same application to do FSK Keyer - it works fine... And so does the "PTT" and "TUNE" button on the main FLRIG window... Anyone have experiences with FLRIG and the IC-7300 CAT PTT? Here is how I have FLRIG configured:
Any and all reasonable suggestions are greatly appreciated 😁

Re: New Computer
Hi Drew. I configured the Dell to match the Toshiba config. I’m wondering if the older Easy Digi might be the problem.Thank you for your response. 73, Ron On Mar 21, 2025, at 3:48 AM, Drew via groups.io <drinella@...> wrote:
