sudden change in drivers for Griffin iMic used for PSK & RTTY

[jsdroyster]

Somehow yesterday our sound card settings changed on their own.
We use the Griffin iMic for digital signals with our KX3.
It used to be identifiable by name in the Windows sound card settings
but today it has been replaced by number-jumbo choices and our settings have
been altered, affecting our fldigi use.
I phoned Griffin but they had no suggestions.
I went to device drivers in Windows and asked for a driver update
but it said we have the latest drivers.
Has anyone else experienced this?  Any tips?
I tried to adjust the levels but am not sure it is working correctly
either on send or receive.

I would try removing and re-installing the driver.

Julie, I can’t speak for the Windows side of this(I’m a Mac), but in my recent experience in coming up to speed with digital for the KX3, I too acquired an iMic, but ended up using my older SignaLink sound card with a modified home brew cable (which works wonderfully for FLDigi). The iMic’s were hard to find. Apple has discontinued selling them. Amazon was in “1 left” status. And Ebay was sparse.

In the software universe, that's called a "feature," Julie. :-)  I've
experienced it also, not with your setup, but multiple times with mine.
  If the change occurred because of a Windoze update [which sometimes
happen without my permission], Microsoft is probably going to tell you
the drivers are current because as far as it is concerned they are.  You
might try downloading the mfr's drivers and re-installing them.  That's
worked for me a couple of times.
