The new USB soundcard arrived today and I was hopeful it would resolve the problem I am having with WSJT-X. I installed it simply, tested it on PSK and JT65A and then fired up WSJT-X hopefully.
My replies to loud CQs, as before, went unanswered! I am certain that the stations just aren't decoding me. But why? I am decoding others' signals easily.
This evening I completely uninstalled and reinstalled WSJT-X. I think the next step will be to try a different computer. Remembering that I have so far tried two different rigs, two interfaces, two soundcards - the only thing left in common is the computer. But I don't see what the problem should be.
Fascinating, puzzling and a little frustrating in similar measures....but I am sure in the end I shall get it working!
Update! After chatting to Charle M0PZT about it I recorded the signal off air. It didn't decode for me. Listening to the tone direct from the computer it sounded clicky and horrible, regardless of the audio level. This must be why. Now, what to do...

I couldn't even begin to think of a reason why you're getting this. Just a sympathetic comment from someone who has lost countless hours doing exactly what you are doing. There must be as name for it
Hmm, an intriguing problem!
Since you've eliminated the sound card and it can't be the program it has to be down to something unique about your computer setup.
Do you by any chance have Norton or something like that running in the background?

Hi Julian,
Not Norton, but there's all sorts of stuff running on there. It could well be something like that!
What's particularly fascinating that this isn't an issue for other soundcard modes (I hasten to add this isn't a criticism of JT9!). I'm wondering if there could be DLL/library conflicts that are tripping me up.
As you say, disabling a few background tasks would be a great start.
All very odd!

Thanks Alex! It will be something daft!

Try getting rid of any D Star software or drivers.
