Some things I found with using an older MicrHam MK and usb sound device:
You need to use Writelog Sound Board Mixer Control to set up the way the
audio is channeled or Writelog won't copy.
You also need to use Windows mixer to set the level for the "line in"
for the usb sound card in order for Writelog to copy audio.
Even though MMTTY seemed to work fine until I did these other two steps
Writelog would not copy.
Using Windows 7 64bit
Microham MK original
USB Creative Labs sound card
Installed Writelog and MMTTY in seperate directories under C:\ham\
