Waterfall is completely red when using FT8 on WSJT-X

I’m using the dr-891, have been doing FT8 with WSJT-x on my MacBook on FT-891 for months with no issue. I went away for 3 days, unplugged radio from power and antenna. When I tried to hook things up yesterday, my waterfall went fully red.

To trouble shoot, I have changed to a different antenna, added/removed 2 chokes, bypassed my window jumper, used 2 different coax cables – basically everything I could think of. No changes made a difference. I factory reset my 891, that didn’t help either. I’ve checked my WSJT-x and audio setting, nothing is different from last week.

Has anyone seen this and have any ideas?

Still not sure what happened, but it’s fixed. I updated Hamlib and WSJT-X to latest version. Then deleted all configs and made a new one. Things seem to be back to normal.
