Yes - I down loaded the new drivers about a month ago - the new driver solved an issue I was having of not being able to see the control panel.
Just for fun - I put the REW setting back to SPDIF and connected my radio shack spl meter to the sound card input and ran some curves. Everything was fine. (At least I heard test tones and got a graph).
Next I disconnected the SPL meter and connected the stereo cable from Out to In. I got the following curve.

So - what does this tell us. Here is my guess - the test tone is being generated and the sound card is receiving the test tone - and REW is displaying the data.
So - the magic question is - what am I doing wrong when I try this in soundcard measure mode.
I don't know what is up with the analog issue, but I can at least get a measured curve - it just doesn't mean anything until I can get the calibration isuue figured out.
Bruce - As moderator I imagine you must get bombarded with stupid questions like these - but we do appreciate your help.
