Software / Re: WEFAX/FLDIGI decode problem 9/8/15

« on: January 19, 2016, 1626 UTC »

Well, since my original post of this problem I have had no luck fixing this "Jitter".
I have been looking for a new external usb soundcard to try.

Recently I had to replace the RAM on my laptop. After that I reinstalled my soundcard
and the audio input level, gain I guess, into FLDIGI was very high. The Diamond shaped
indicator on bottom of screen showing the audio input level was Red, instead of green,
saying audio in is too high. I was unable to fix this and tried it anyway.

Wefax has decoded perfectly since, every time. I was getting some kind of interference
from my laptop occasionally, about every five minutes or so. I could hear on sound recordings,
and would last for a few seconds. Enough to skew my image decode. I think with all the extra gain
from sound card the interference is not heard by FLDIGI. Or the new RAM has solved the problem.

Either way it's working fine.
