[WriteLog] Problems with Sound Card Control

[Eric Rosenberg <wd3q@starpower.net>]

Running WL 10.48F on a P3/600 and Win2kPro, I've run into two problems 
when using the soundcard to decode CW.

- even though the input is MONO (using one radio), the decoder only 
works when I have chosen STEREO Mode in the SETUP CW DECODER 
pull-down.  That means two CW windows show up -- I can't hide the 
unused one.

- the LINE IN BALANCE control of the Windows Volume Control is all the 
way left for the audio to decode.  After using the decoder for a while 
it stops.  To get things going again, I have to bring up the Windows 
volume control and "jiggle" the LINE IN BALANCE control (i.e., slide it 
back and forth, left-to-right), after which the audio reappears and all 
is well until the next time it disappears.

What am I doing wrong, or is it a software problem?

And my question.

I don't understand the filter settings in the DECODER SETUP 
window.  I've noticed that the signal I've tuned is not necessarily in 
the center of the decoder display. Is there a correlation between the 
two (placement in the passband and filter)?

Thanks in advance,
