Audio device being used by another application

#Audio device being used by another application windows 10#

Any help understanding the interplay of Win10 devices and applications with both fldigi and SmartSDR is appreciated. I could shut off the DAX move all the level controls even exit the Flex SmartSDR and this was the only control that had effect. No other adjustment in the Flex settings made any difference. The yellow highlighted device was set at 100%. Stumbling around I discovered as below in Win10 settings. The reason I thought there was no connection was that the waterfall and other signal indications showed a very high signal level with high audio too and nothing I did with the receive audio from the radio (Flex 6400) including turning off the Flex had any effect on fldigi. I completely uninstalled fldigi reinstalled and solved that problem. Struggling to figure out why my fldigi was not (apparently) connecting to receive audio I think I selected from one of these 3 submenus and shortly thereafter was received the 'Port Audio Not Available' message.

These are MME devices, Windows DirectSound devices, and Windows WDM-KS devices.

In the Soundcard, Devices, PortAudio drop-down menu for both Capture and Playback if you look far enough there are 3 submenus with apparently identical selections as the 'main'. Believe the 'Port Audio Not Available MAY have been started by my selecting an incorrect device. I see intense W10 learning priority for me.

I May have solved a tiny bit of the problem but still working to understand how or why. This device is being used by another application - Windows 10 - Thinkpad W541 Anyone have a solution that works for more than 5 minutes So, i have my laptop in a docking station wired to a 32' monitor, a Fios router, a Logitech webcam/microphone, and a Sony surround sound system that is about 8 years old.
