Fixing a Winlink express, no audio input from K3S problem

[MaverickNH]

I thought this might be my problem but both VARA and ARDOP are allowed access. Might you be willing to share your Winlink configs for ARDOP and VARA HF?

I have Winlink Express running quite happily on a laptop, talking to a K3S
thru the K3S’s USB cable.  I configured Winlink Express on an older desktop,
and it did not play with the same K3S - although the Winlink Express can
(e.g., using VARA) transmit a signal; it “hears” nothing.  The USB Codec
Microphone, which is how the K3S’s audio shows up on the PC, has sound - I
can “listen” to it using the Windows ability to listen to a sound input
device. But, none of the Winlink Express modems running on the desktop can
hear any audio.

 

Oddly, FLDIGI works just fine on the laptop and the desktop.

 

Finally, after some more poking around, I got it to work.  The magic was to
change the “Allow apps to access your microphone” setting in the Sound
settings page to On.  This setting appears in the “Microphone privacy
settings” and I completely ignored it for more than a couple days!

 

 

Go to Settings/Sound.

 

Click on “Microphone privacy settings”.

 

Make sure “Allow apps to access your microphone” is “On”. Also, make sure
the “Allow desktop apps to access the microphone” setting further down this
page is “On”.  This is what was preventing my Winlink Express app from
working.
