In any-case my 857/897 works with CAT ptt and rear port data audio.
Signal link (waste of money), has an inbuilt ptt setup for its own
design, however a Usb Cmedia or PC/laptop sndcd connected
to the rear data port works fine without any need for vox. Happy to
provide a video to verify.

Yaesu rigs don't use the Front/Back option -- they don't have the
capability to choose which to do PTT on.
Only some Kenwoods and the VX1700.

I use the rig in USB mode and not digital mode. So that would probably
explain why it doesn’t listen on the data port for audio. BUT, it
works fine this way in all previous versions. Something changed in the
RC1 that makes this no longer possible. Im not sure, but guessing I’m
not the only person who uses it this way. One main advantage of the
Signalink is VOX control. I would agree that CAT PTT would be better,
but in this issue, the only thing that has changed is the program
version. In order to upgrade versions, I would have to make other
changes.
So my existing setup, using VOX PTT and CAT works fine in all previous
versions, but when testing the RC1 out, it no longer works.
Also, on mine, the transmit audio source is greyed out and will not
let me change. How do I get that option available?
Still greyed out in RC1 even when selecting CAT as PTT and mode as
Data\Pkt.
Here is the error in RC1 when using VOX:

This guy is also using CAT ptt and using rear data port audio as I do ;

I have been using the WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc1 without issue on several
rigs, but when I tried to setup an FT-857 for rig control, I was
having errors. I am using a signalink for sound, so need to select
VOX in the settings. When selecting VOX, it gives an error when
connecting via Test CAT. If I select CAT PTT, everything works
(except it doesn’t because the rig wants audio via the mic and not
the cat port on the rear where the signalink is sending the
audio.) I installed the latest production release, 2.5.4, and
everything is good.
As a test, I have it working on 2.5.4, then installed WSJT-X
2.6.0-rc1 and launched the same shortcut, and get the error. I
then reinstalled 2.5.4 and it works as expected. The rig also
switches from VFOA to VFOB and back a few times before the error.
Recap:
WSJT-X 2.6.0-rc1 has an issue on the FT-857 rig control and will
not connect when VOX PTT is selected. It connects (rig control)
with CAT PTT, but need to use VOX.
Thanks,
