Sound Board optimization revisited
While the underlying audio routing architecture in WriteLog has not changed since it was updated to use the Windows Core Audio APIs in Windows Vista, the dialogs and test procedures available in WriteLog have been improved since the blog post two years ago advising how to optimize WriteLog’s sound board setup.

WriteLog version 11.24 introduces a configuration option to connect two radios to a single PC using a separate sound device for each. The original configuration option, connecting two radios to a single PC using the Left and Right channels of a single device, remains supported.
