I just installed Windows 10 April update, has caused major issues. Unitrunker can't open a line in port, dsd won't work, and even audacity is having difficulties opening any virtual soundcards.

I'd avoid it for the time being. Seems like many on twitter are having other issues.

I had to re-install the drivers for my (very old) prolific USB<>RS232 adapters and the rtl drivers but otherwise have had no problems on three Win 10 computers.
No issues with VAC or Audacity on any of them as a result of the Windows update.

Over on the Unitrunker Google group this was posted -

"For those having trouble with Windows 10 Update 1803 -

If it stops working go to Windows Setting, Privacy, Microphone and enable 'allow apps to use microphone'. DSDplus is also affected by this."

I don't use Win 10 myself but thought I'd post this just as an FYI

It changed the volume on my speakers and also changed my input in on WSJT-X from my SignaLink to the VB-Cable. No idea why it did that!
(Oh, and installed a desktop icon for Edge without asking)

I was Reading a Few Articles in Tech Crunch and They Say Go Back to an Older Date Restore Point--The New U/D 1803 Had Bugs and Misprogrammed Kernals added to the Programm--Some Sites are Saying Delete the U/D all Together

I Run 7 and Had a Problem a few months Back when micro dum dums shot an automatic update to me even when i had that Option Turned Off---Took me 3 Days to Get my pc Back up to Par with and older Restore Point

My Advice--DONT Install any Updates any More--Micro Idiots Dont Know what there Doing Anymore

I've had that disabled forever and never had a problem with programs accessing the microphone. DSD+ has no trouble hearing me scratching the microphone.

Edit: Just want to clarify - not saying that issues don't exist or that some users may need to do this, just that I'm using fully updated Win10 and never seem to have the issues that others are raising. Go figure.


My Advice--DONT Install any Updates any More--
Yeah, leave your PC open to any and all newly discovered security vulnerabilities. You gave bad advice about the Paypal glitch and now you're doing it again.

HEY Wizard--First Off Lets Get Something Straight--I DID NOT GIVE any Advice on PAY Friggin PAL--I DONT Even Use That Crap--So Watch Who You Blame---IF I Remember Correctly It was IMonitor--So GET Your FACTS Correct Before Blaming Anyone

{Quote}--Yeah, leave your PC open to any and all newly discovered security vulnerabilities

Well Its Better Than Yours Right Now----The OP Stated Major Issues---Well Thats What Happens with Updates--Guess it Had vulnerabilities

I Rest My Case--Have a Good Day Sir

Ok, same problem here after windows ten update. I can see the dongle in Devices & Printers, and on the taskbar for removing usb items. But none of the programs that could access the dongle and now none work with it. I have tried the microphone tip mentioned above.and nothing.

BTW when I open the receiver window for the dongle it show three sets of Info/VCO/Scope across.

Well I am not sure what I did that changed things. But I got the dongle working for unitrunker, RTL1090beta & CubicSDR.

Did you happen to reboot the computer after changing the "allow apps to use the microphone" setting and that's when it started working?

April update

I'm going nuts with this.

Short story...

Update completed, installed dongle drivers no prob.

DSD+/FMP24 Fastlane no longer decodes any format. There is just a first syllable gurgle then nothing, both tcp and vb cable. -- same.


Did all the standard things, drivers and such including allow apps to use the microphone


What I have found is excessive bytes lost using rtl_test. All USB ports. Either using usb extender or direct. Before it was good


I reverted back to previous version but it does not work either, same excessive bytes lost according to rtl_test.


SRtrunk does decode but with much degraded quality.


I am at a loss... ANY ideas would be appreciated. I have lots of computer resource/spec.

DSD will only use microphone

I have read through all of the posts (I think) but haven't seen my particular issue. I am running SDR# v1.0.0.1666 with the DSD interface plugin. I just installed them a couple of days ago so they should be the current versions.

I followed the TechMinds YouTube tutorial to download, install and set up the programs. Everything is working except one thing. No matter what I do I cannot get the DSD interface to use the virtual cable for the input. I set the Audio output for the virtual cable (I have two possibilities: [MME] Cable Input and [Windows DirectSound] Cable Input) and I set the DSD audio device to the same. When I start DSD it always uses the webcam microphone as the input no matter what I do. I have tried changing the audio output, the DSD input, using the "Configure" button to select the devices, etc and nothing changes anything.

Any ideas?
