Re: Lost sound

Is the output device in the Device Toolbar set to the USB device? If so then you need to reset it to your PCs onboard soundcard.

If it was adopted in the future by a Developer and implemented in the mainstream code, using your Nyqist version as a paradigm, could this limitation be avoided?
