Can't take measurements with SB External USB


I bought a Sound Blaster 24-bit External USB to use with my laptop. The measurements that REW take don't reflect what the SPL is reading.

I selected "Speaker" for the output. For the input, the only choices I have are "Microphone" and "What U Hear". The "What U Hear" option is the only one that works. When I calibrate the input volume, it sets the volume to 1.00 and says it was unable to reach -18.00db. It looks like it reaches around -20.00db.

When I calibrate the soundcard, it gives me a perfectly flat line. I suspect I have the soundcard input configured incorrectly. Anybody have similar issues?
