OK, for grins I tried using my voice files using the IC-7610 internal sound
card and it didn't work. I tried using USB and USB-D modes. I had the IC-7610
CODEC set as sound card for transmit in WL Sound Board mixer control.
Since that didn't work, I then connected my onboard sound card output to the
microphone input (like I did it back in 2018) and it worked after setting the
onboard sound card for transmit in WL Sound Board mixer control. I made a
contact in the contest.
So I'm not sure why I can't use the '7610 USB supplied sound card. Missing
something. Maybe I'll open up the Help file next.

There was a very good article in the January 2012 CQ magazine by Jamie
Dpuree, NS3T, titled "Who Needs a Microphone for a Phone Contest?". I still
have a copy and back in 2018 I used the article to help me set up voice files
for WriteLog using a program called Audacity
https://www.audacityteam.org/download/.
I used a $5 mic/headset to record the files. During the ARRL International Grid
Chase in 2018, I entered as many contests as I could. Not one who enjoys
yelling into a microphone, I was able to use my voice files with WriteLog to
run several PHONE contests without having to use a microphone. It was just like
CW and RTTY, just working the keyboard.

hi - I don't phone contests very often, you will be able to tell in a
second. :)
I have a radio that has an internal sound card on a USB port. Let's say
what kind of radio doesn't matter for the moment**. What I want to do is be
able to record my messages using the microphone on the radio using
shift+Fn, thus creating a .wav file, and play them back using using my Fn
keys.
This seems like it would be perfectly obvious how to do this but after
googling and trying stuff for quite a while, I'm left stumped. I'm not
getting a recording, no .wav file is showing up. I know the mic is working.
Help?
thanks! - jeff wk6i
** I'm currently trying to get this working on a K4 to see how it's done,
but later I'm going to another shack where I'm going to want to set this up
on an FTDX10. Thus the generic question.
