Thank you Bob,
The computer is selecting the correct sound card. It does receive properly from
the LINE
OUT on the read ACC1 of the OMNI VII.
I tried setting it to LINE INPUT and upped the gain to 65%
I have plenty of audio coming out of the computer. I verified this by pulling
out the 1/8" plug
and listening to the internal speakers.
I can key the transmitter OK via RS232 with both FL-DIGI and WSJT-X with no
problem.
However I still get zero watts out in USB mode.
I think this going to take some troubleshooting with a scope to see whether the
audio is
reaching the LINE IN on the OMNI VII.
Very strange.
