[WriteLog] Problem with RTTY AFSK

Fri Jul 29 19:23:39 EDT 2016

During the recent NAQP-RTTY contest, I was unable to transmit RTTY (receive
was ok).

I've played with my settings and still no joy. 

When I open up WriteLog, I get a pop-up box with "Error setting up device
names for sound, Vista-style"
When I click out of that window - I get another pop-up box with:
"Failed to start recording loop. Is the sound board in use?"
"waveInOpen failed Attempted to open with an unsupported
wave-form-audio format"

When transmitting - sometimes (depending on settings) my rig would indicate
a transmit condition, but no audio was sent (nothing heard on TX monitor, no
deflection on the ALC or Power meters).

I was able to resolve the immediate problem by switching in SignaLink-USB
that I use on my back-up Rig, though I had lost a few hours of the contest
before I did that.

Here are my settings:

WriteLog (Version 12.05K)
Setup>Ports: DVK Type = Windows sound board (have also tried "None"
Setup>Sound board = Only enabled Receiver Listen Loop
RttyRite Window>TU Type "XMMT-ocx" Selected (Using 2-Tone)
 TNC Setup: Only "Show TNC buttons" and "Show TNC menu"
Selected
2-Tone Settings: Correct CODEC selected - RX and TX Left selected - AFSK TX:
PTT "No" selected (But have tried DTR and RTS to no avail)

Radio (TS-590S with S/W V. 2.02)
Menu settings (I've changed a lot of these in trying to troubleshoot)
060 - TX Inhibit = Off
061 - COM port Baudrate =57,600
062 - USB port bBaudrate = 57,600
063 - Audio Input Line Selection for Data = USB (Changed to Acc2 when using
the SignaLink)
064 - Audio Level of USB Input for Data = 3
065 - Audio level of USB Output for Data = 3
066/067 - Same as 064/065 but for Acc2
069 - VOX operation with Data (USB/Acc2) Input = On
070 - Data VOX delay time = 40mS
071 - VOX Gain for USB Audio Input = 3
072 - VOX Gain for Acc2 = 4

Operating System = Windows 10

Any help would be appreciated. My next step is sending this to the repair
shop and have the sound-board replaced.
