need some help calibrating


OK. So when i laund REQW, it tells me it's loaded the RS SPL meter calibration file i donwloaded: fine.

So i've connected the RS SPL meter to the line input, i've told it to record without monitoring.

So then i launch REQW, and try running calibration wizards.

1. I do the set input volume, which works fine, or so it seems.

2. I try the 'calibrate' button, and the readings on the SPL meter are @ around 100db... since the scrollable menu that i'm told to match to what my SPL meter shows only goes to 90db, I'm thinking something is wrong.

Should I simply turn down the master volume control on my computer? wouldn't that be screwing with the calibration?

I tried turning the system volume down to 1/2, but then the 'set input volume' wouldn't work.
So i turned the system volume up to about 3/4, and it did work. Then i used the calibrate button, and had to set it to 88db.

Something just doesn't seem or feel right here.

Any help would be appreciated.
