Windows XP or Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8?

XP allows applications to directly control the hardware mixer in the
sound card.  This means that applications with "fight" over levels.

Vista/Windows 7/Windows 8 have a hardware abstraction layer (HAL)
meaning that each application controls only a "virtual" audio device.

If you're still using XP, get rid of it ... Microsoft will abandon it
completely in April and Win 7/8 are far better than XP.

This was pointed out a few years ago when multiple instances of MMTTY were
being used when a certain SoundBlaster soundcard was being used. It seems
like that that card cannot handle more than one application using it's audio
output. I would make sure you have the most current drivers for your
soundcard. You could also pick up one of the cheap under $10.00 USB
soundcards and see if that takes care of the problem..

Hi Guys,

I'm finally setup with 2 RTTY Windows: MMTTY &  2Tone.  And I've got a
couple of problems:

1) As soon as I added the 2Tone as my  2nd window, I noticed the audio level
on the MMTTY window dropped  about two-thirds and MMTTY doesn't decode very
well anymore.

2) 2Tone decodes the received signals fine but only decodes my  transmit
message about one-third of the time.  Any ideas how I can get it  to decode
my transmit message all the time?

Rig: K3 feeding a Windows 7 computer motherboard soundcard from the fixed
audio output jack on the  rear of the K3.

Thanks!

Dick- K9OM
