I just updated to version 1.28 on my HP quad core i7 running Windows 10x64.  

After starting the program and getting my SDR listening, I ran into two problems.

1) Sound comes out of tower speaker regardless of audio settings. Does not get routed to sound card.

2) All 4 CPUs rapidly heat up to over 200F and fan goes full speed.

Obviously, I exited SkyRoof immediately.

I had a similar problem using Windows 11 and SkyRoof V 1.28 running a SDRPlay.

I'm using Skyroof v1.28 with Windows 11 and I haven't had any of those problems.  I love the Skyroof software!  I wonder if something else could be causing those problems?  Dean, PU7MOJ

I am unable to reproduce these problems. Please send me your log file. A screenshot may also help.

I have used previous versions up to 1.27 without problems also.

Sorry, no screenshots.  I'm not going to take that risk again.

I decided to run a confirming test today with Bandicam.

Yesterday when the PC went crazy, all of Skyroof's GUI panels were displaying.  Today, well take a look...

It would be interesting to see your log and settings file. You have not added hundreds of satellites to the same group, have you?

I haven't done anything yet except install and test the software.
