NAP3 setup with KX3

[jreedbum]

I'm having problems setting up NAP3 with the KX3 and a Creative XI-FI
soundcard plugged into my ASUS W 8.1 laptop. I followed the configure
instructions as closely as I could but the display is not right.  It's just
a symmetrical waterfall and spectrum around the center of the screen.  I.E.
One side is a mirror image of the other.   Otherwise it recognizes the rig
and soundcard fine. Any ideas?

Do You have I/Q turned on in KX3 Menu?

[Don Wilhelm-4]

Check to be certain both channels are being  sent to the soundcard. The
levels should be the same in both channels.  It could be a cable problem
or a soundcard problem that is only presenting one channel to the NaP3
application.  Unplug each channel (one at a time) and see if the display
indicates about the same level from each channel (yes, you will have
mirrored images with only one channel).
Do you have the KX3 set to output RX IQ signals?

If all that is OK, then tune to a strong signal (S-9 plus) and the NaP3
WBIR algorithm should eliminate the mirrored responses.

Found the problem thanks to your suggestions.  After a bit of digging
discovered  that the X-Fi Go Pro has no stereo mixer.  Switched to the
slightly more expensive and much bulkier X-Fi Surround and now works well.
Thanks all.
