The whole issue is based on the fact that Windows will designate the default output device and the communications default device based on the last sound card that Windows sees. This is coded this way so, for instance, if you plug in your USB headset, you can start using it without having to learn how to set the default communications device for recording and playback.<div>
<br></div><div>However, if you are expecting these devices to stay assigned to whatever you set them to, you are going to be disappointed!</div><div><br></div><div>You might see some systems that actually add 3 or 5 VAC cables to their system (I do this on all the computes I sell) because Windows will choose VAC cable 5 for the default device or default communications device so its not an issue for powerSDR.</div>

Would you send me a couple of screen prints of your Widows 7 audio set
up? That is the part that keeps messing me up.<br>
<br>
Click on the speaker icon on the desktop lower right, select playback
devices and make a screen print.<br>
Then click speaker> record devices and screen print it.<br>
<br>
I have not been able to come up with a description of exactly how these
two things work and changing their settings changes the choices
presented to Hermes and JT65-HF. I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.<br>
Thanks.<br>

<div>What is it that makes people approach VAC with such fear and

I also use VAC on Windows-8.1/64 Preview with no problems at all.<br>
I find VAC easy to setup and use (for the past 8 years).<br>

I run Win 7 64-bit with VAC without problem.<br>
<br>
If you have problems with VAC you can always ask the developer for help.<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
After much trying I was able to get my Hermes/JT65-HF running with<br>
Windows XP with VAC last winter. My PC was too slow to run JT65 so<br>
the decodes were usually about 10-15 seconds too late.<br>
<br>
Now I'm putting together a Windows 7 Pro 64 bit PC and trying to get<br>
it running with VAC on my Hermes. I have set up two cables to hook<br>
Hermes to JT65-HF, but it seems to me Windows keeps changing my set ups.<br>
At one point I was able to receive and decode OK, but no audio to<br>
transmit. Somehow I have even lost that.<br>
<br>
Does anyone have experience with Win7 64bit hooked to JT65-HF with VAC?<br>
<br>
One problem area seems to be the settings of the sound devices in<br>
Windows.<br>
<br>
73,<br>
<br>
