What happened?

Trying to setup AetherSDR on laptop with internal mike set as default input and enabling EQ the EQ Tx audio spectrum shows a signal is present from the microphone. Clicking the record to start recording and then clicking once again to play the audio back mutes the receiver and there is no audio playback. The only way to get rx audio back is to exit AetherSDR and restart

What did you expect?

Recorded microphone audio (processed with EQ) to play back through laptop default audio output.
