WSJT-X V2.2.2 or PC bug?

For several days now I have been using WSJT-X V2.2.2 on FT8. Several times when I first use it the RX signals are "smeared" and I get no decodes. Restarting the PC clears this and I get plenty of decodes. I am using a SignaLink USB interface that has given me perfect service for years.

I wonder if any others have experiences this?

    I've tried this version for a while but didn't like the behaviour on decoding. Prefer WSJT-Z or JTDX. So far didn't have the problems you described. 73, Bas

    I had something similar a while ago, it was interference within the room causing the USB connection to the sound card I was using for the radio to disconnect momentarily. Once I moved it away from the radio by about 1 foot it stopped doing that. I suspect of course near field broadband noise of some kind.
