[WT-support] SOUND ON Win-test under win7

[Don Beattie]

Well I'm now confused.

It looks as if my earlier comment about sound working on Win 10 was wrong (I
was sure it worked a few weeks ago). I just backstepped to v 4.16 and it
exhibits all the issues which Felipe reports.

So it is probably a good thing that the sound option is now greyed-out !

....and my comment about it working in Win 10 was based on an earlier
version of Win-Test. As others have commented, and now that I am upgraded to
4.19, there is no sound option !

Felipe,

I believe the SOUND / NOSOUND option was removed with 4.19, presumably due
to many complaints that it didn't work on newer hardware.

Like you, I often used the sound as a useful first cut at a solution.  
	
I found the sound would often improve (at least to the level of discerning
what the CW was saying, although choppy) by going into the playback setup in
Win 7 and Win 8.

Specifically (TV Bob can correct my terminology):

1. find the speaker icon in the "bar" in the lower right hand part of the
screen 2. Right click on it, select "Playback devices"
3. Double click on the "Speakers" or whatever device you're using for
playback 4. In the Properties window that comes up, select "Enhancements"
5. Select "Disable all sound effects"
6. Click out of all the OK boxes.

No guarantees, but it may serve well enough for test purposes, at least if
you have an option previous to 4.19.  

Scott, K0DQ

Hi guys,

I do not have any radios right now where I am and I wanted to test some
features for the CQ WW CW bu unfortunatly when I activate SOUND under
win-test I do not get the sound of CW but a few weired sounds, I tried in
another PC also running win7 and same situation, is there a fix for this
because I really need to hear what is TXed by win-test.

Thanks
