I am running Windows 10 with HDSDR & FLDIGI configured with VAC 4.51.
FLDIGI is configured for the VAC Line 1 and can 'see' the data streams from HDSDR when Windows 10 pipes the audio through VAC Line 1. This configuration appears to be working; however, the output of the FLDIGI decoder is gibberish.
For example, CW is unreadable despite being tuned properly in HDSDR and FLDIGI. Squelch on/off doesn't matter - everything is trash.
The FLDIGI decoder becomes legible only if I enable the Audio Repeater (KS) that comes with FLDIGI. When running, the FLDIGI ouput appears to be correct. Validated with WEFAX and CW.
In other words, FLDIGI only works properly with the Audio Repeater (KS) running; otherwise the output is trash.
I though the Audio Repeater was to pipe the audio elsewhere post FLDIGI, not into FLDIGI.
Does everyone else run the Audio Repeater too?
It doesn't make sense (to me) that I can see the signal in FLDIGI with and without the Audio Repeater running.
