The example configuration for WriteLog and microHAM microKEYER II that
is available in Router ("Help | Download Documents") or on-line in the
MK II area (for MK II) at www.microHAM-USA.com/Support.html - works
just fine with Windows 7. There are also versions for other microHAM
interfaces and other programs. There are literally thousands of users
following those guides with no problems.
One *MUST* realize that Microsoft *changed the way audio is handled*
in Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Applications are now no longer
permitted to control the hardware directly - Windows imposes a hardware
abstraction layer (virtual sound cards) that the applications interact
with. This prevents Router from being a "master controller" for the
audio - that is now done in the *Windows Volume Mixer*. In addition,
Windows only permits *one* active input and *one* active output per
sound card - it is no longer possible to have both the mic and line
input open at the same time.
Finally, if Windows is using a sound card as the "System Default" for
input (microphone) or output (speaker), other applications can not
change the active input (e.g. Line) on that sound card. Since Windows
*always* has a default sound device, it is very difficult to receive
RTTY with a motherboard sound card and *dangerous* to do PSK31/AFSK
with a motherboard sound card since *any* wounds made by Windows *or*
received by a browser, etc. will go directly to the radio!

Win7 laptop and I have not tried any interface yet. Please post for all.

ok guys, I need some serious advice. I took my new computer off line and
put
the old XP machine back in to get thru the Contest this past weekend. Now
I
am ready to put the new machine back in and get it to playing with Windows
7
and the rig. I have FT2000D, microHam microkeyer2, latest version of
Writelog, latest version of microHam router and 4.2 gig computer with Win
7
as the OS. I installed Dx4win, MMTTY and microHam router in C: but
Writelog
went under C:programs. I downloaded and printed out everything pertaining
to
Win 7 from Writelog Help files and microHam latest manual.
I guess my biggest question after reading all this is do I HAVE to have
two
sound boards installed or can I just get away with the on board sound from
the mother board. I only use one radio so don't need stereo. I would
appreciate any and all advice to get me up and running with this new
system.
I felt I just didn't have the time to get comfortable getting it sorted
out
before the last week's contest. Thanks, Cort K4WI
