Make sure "Enable Recording Loop" is off under Tools | Sound Board
Options... - be sure to save configuration also after making any changes.
Make sure both RTTY windows are set to "Stereo Soundboard AFSK" for the TU
Type (they won't be until you do this manually). To open the RTTY window
for the Left radio, click on the Left radio portion of the QSO Entry window
to activate it, then go to Window | RTTY. Do the same for Right radio.
You'll probably get the "can't open" error during this process; ignore it
and then go set up the TU Type as above.
Save configuration again (and any time you change *anything*) -- also save
your writelog contest file as some settings appear to be contest specific.

Bring up the soundcard control and make sure, on the PLAYBACK window (the
one you get by default) that the Mic input is muted.

Most likely feedback from the built-in microphone. Muting should fix the
problem.

Sometimes you just have to hold your mouth right when you open the RTTY
window - but the above seemed to make life easier for me.
