1.0.5 loses Microphone settings after a few day usage #631

Open twi42 opened 1 year ago

twi42 commented 1 year ago

After installing 1.0.5 everything worked well for a few days. Then suddenly when starting ExpertSDR3, PC Microphone stopped working and Microphone settings in the main screen, top right, disappeared, showing only TCI but nothing with right click. During the problem, TCI connections continued to work normally.

Downgrading to 1.0.4 restores normal Mic functionality, and then 1.0.5 can be again installed, but the problem comes back after some usage. No effect with reboot or configuration changes.

Some more information and a screenshot. This seems to happen after using RadioSync for some time, after some digi QSOs the 'Mic1/2/PC Mic' just does not reappear any longer.

Same here. Need to delete all .conf files and restart eesdr3

I've been facing the same problem and found a temporary workaround:

Open the EESDR3 configuration file %localappdata%\Expert Electronics\ExpertSDR3\EED....<your trx's serial number>.json in notepad.

Search for entry "microphone_source" and set its value back to e.g. 1.0 There should be two entries in the file, one for trx1, the other one for trx2. Change both of them, if necessary. Save the changed file an restart EESDR3. It should work again.

It looks as, as long as a TCI audio transmission is active, the microphone_source entry is changed to 5.0, and if EESDR3 is stopped before the program accessing it through TCI misses to send the trx:0,false (or trx:1,false) command, the entry in the json file is not set back to a valid value between 0 and 2, thus disenabling the drop down box for the input selection.

You should do this while EESDR3 is not runnig.

(The abovementioned file path is for Windows, don't know where the json files are located on other OSes.)

Same problem with MB1. Pressing the "mic" button on the front panel solves the problem. 73, Michel - IZ5CLJ

Problem still persists in 1.0.6 beta. Manually editing the config file is the current workaround.

I noticed that if I disconnect my E-Coder2, the TCI icon disappears, and the option to select a microphone input appears: Microphone 1, Mic 2, Mic PC. Another thing I discovered is that this issue only occurs with RX 1! If I switch to RX2, there is an option to choose between MIC 1, 2, 3, and E-Coder 2.

In my opinion, the problem lies with E-Coder 2 because I observe that it never gets detected when EESDR3 is turned on. I have to unplug the USB connector and plug it in again for E-Coder 2 to be recognized and used.
