My digirig came in last week, it’s smaller than i thought it would be.
I will be setting it up this afternoon. Last night when I tried to start setting up on my years old windows laptop computer and under the sound settings, I didn’t notice it as a sound card or sound device.
I am using an ft-891
Thanks in advance
Douglas,
Your computer should detect Digirig’s components before you get to anything radio related.
When components are not detected I first suggest making sure that the USB cable is good and data capable, but I see you got your Digirig with the cable from the store so that should be good. See if your computer detects the serial port. Check with a different computer for good measure too.
on my new computer in texas, it sees them as comm 3 and comm 4. It’s the cable from digirig. In texas im using a dr 891 and in az im using the standard digirig,. both with and 891
Thank you for confirming that your computer detected radio’s COM ports through DR-891. This tells us that the USB connection to the computer is good.
Do you see Digirig’s audio components in the control panel? You might want to turn on visibility for the disable devices in case you accidentally disabled Digirig’s playback or recording devices.
Look for entries with description “USB Audio Device”.
