[WriteLog] Fkey's driving me crazy

This problem *may* be related to a soundboard control issue that we
experienced at KV1W this weekend. The soundboard was apparently muted (e.g.
no input or output, therefore, no F keys), but the system thought it was not
muted. In our case, the rig is keyed via PTT. When an F key was hit, the rig
keyed, but no audio went out. Similarly, we were unable to record any new
messages.

In our case, exiting a restarting Writelog did not help, we had to reboot
the system; until Ric figured out the quick fix below.

A "quick" fix that worked for us is to open the Windows Volume Control Panel
and check the Mute box on the master volume control, then clear it again. Do
this on both the record and playback windows.

This issue is not completely characterized yet as to how to replicate it, or
whether it is even the same phenomenon that you experienced, so calling it a
bug is premature. Film at 11...

Hope this helps.
