USB monitor issue?

[Elecraft mailing list]

I’ve been using RemoteTX for my remote operation for a while now.  With the 7300 it worked just fine using the USB port for audio and control.

I switched over to use it with my K3S and it seems to work differently in one strange annoying way.  The audio coming over the USB line is constantly monitored and sent to me over RemoteTX.  Even during transmissions.  Unlike the 7300, I’m getting an echo of whatever I’m saying.  And, of course, it’s delayed to make it even harder to talk.  ;)

Now, if I connect to the rig using an external sound card and the line in and out on the back, it works fine, as long as I have the Monitor turned down to zero.  What it sounds like is that there is a ‘monitor’ function going on when I use the USB connection.  Does anyone know anything about this?  Like a secret menu/button that I’ve missed to adjust a ‘monitor’ function on the USB connection.  Or some blatantly obvious paragraph in the manual, that is probably in bold, that I can’t seem to find?

And yep, I could just do the external sound card, but hey, it’s more fun to make things work, right?  ;)

Be safe all!

There's a special setting only documented in the K3 Firmware Release Notes as
follows:

* TX LINE OUT (MONITOR) LEVEL NOW ADJUSTABLE: In CONFIG:LIN OUT menu
entry, tap '2'  (REV switch) to set the "T=" level (TX monitor). Tap '2'
again to return to the RX LINE OUT setting.

So if you go to CONFIG:LIN OUT, then tap [2], you can change the sidetone
(or SSB) monitor level to 0.

There is also a "Listen to this device" checkbox in the Windows Sound
Control panel, sound card Properties, that you may need to disable.  Run
mmsys.cpl to locate the USB Audio CODEC, under the *Recording* tab.
