Upgraded my Mac to Sequoia last night. I use a Digirig and with a K3. When WSjTX starts, it decodes with no issue, after transmitting, I completely loose sound input to WSJTX and no decode or no activity in the waterfall. I can restart WSJTX, same situation happens again. I’m curious if anyone else has ran into this? I’m open to suggestions on a solution. I have reinstalled WSJTX and the mac driver suggested for the Digirig. Prior to the OS upgrade, everything worked flawlessly.

Not sure if OS upgrade is coincidental, but this sounds like an RFI issue.
As an experiment try setting RF power to minimum and use dummy load if you have one, test on different bands.

Not using a Digirig but experiencing the same issue after upgrading to Sequoia. Was 100% working before. Pretty sure it’s a WSJTX issue

It’s not RF causing a problem. I dug a signalink out of the closet and it works perfectly. I’m thinking it’s a driver issue due to the OS upgrade.
I do plan to hold off on loading sequoia on my MacBook Air that I POTA with. Not gonna use anything but a Digirig in the parks.
I have the exact issue after upgrading to Sequoia. I’ve tried everything also and believe it is the Digirig driver but can’t find that driver to reinstall or any info regarding it. Additionally, GridTracker no longer receives any messages even when the WSJT-X has restarted prior to a keyup and appears to work.

Same issue here, just tried using my KX3 for the first time since upgrading (sic) to Sequoia. Intel Mac, BTW.

I’m using an Intel iMac as well.
Same issue here but NOT using digirig. FT-710 built in soundcard but identical issue. So likely not a digirig issue but figured I’d add my issue here for a non DR perspective. Initial open decode is fine, first transmit, sound cancels.

Well, after some further research I’ve decided to punt. I was able to revert my MacbookPro to Catalina (the original OS that shipped with this device), and then upgrade it to Sonoma via the App Store. I’m now in the process of restoring from backup made just prior to the Sequioia upgrade and should be back in business later this afternoon. I don’t think that Sequoia is anywhere near ready for use on devices used for operating digital modes on amateur radio.

MBP successfully reverted to Sonoma (v14.7) and all is back to working as it should.

Please make sure your hardware extensions get re-enabled after upgrading. Go into System settings and ensure
they are on per my screenshots. I had the same issue when I upgraded to Sequoia Beta earlier this summer. There are no issues after doing this with my K3S.

This is a bug in sequoia as there are people reporting exactly the same problem with regular USB microphone (microphone icon disappears from macos menubar and app stops receiving microphone audio).
You should report it at https://feedbackassistant.apple.com/
It’s not matter of RFI (as people have exactly the same setup and only changed thing is MacOS version), not matter of enabling extensions (USB device would be not visible at all), not wsjtx issue (as mentioned earlier it happens for regular usb microphone and conference apps - report is on reddit).

Workaround / fix on wsjt-x side exists now:

I see some discussion and some disagreements, but I’m not seeing any links to actual software to test.

I have been successfully using my DigiRig on Sequoia after upgrading WSJT-X to version 2.7.0-rc7, which was released earlier today. Everything is functioning as it should and I have made a couple dozen QSOs using my Elecraft KX3 and 2019 Intel MacBook Pro. Many thanks to all contributors in diagnosing and fixing this issue in such a timely manner!

Exactly the same issue here. Yaesu FT-710 using WSJTX for FT8, upgraded to new Mac OS Sequoia and boom. Unit worked flawless until the update.
Issue has been fixed in RC7 of WSJTX and WSJTX Improved.
When did RC7 release?
Yesterday. See my post above detailing that this fixes the problem.
