First dumb question of probably many,

How do I know if the computer is even seeing my meter?
You remind me of the first time I tried to use REW I had similar questions. I can at least tell you how to check ifthe line out of the SPL meter is working. It's easy. Connect the SPL meter to an audio input on your receiver and talk. It should act like a mic, then you know it is working.

Im using a DFI lanparty board with the karajan module that came with it. I can get sound out to my amp, but plugging and unpluging the meter seems to have no effect. When i go to measure i dont get any trace either. Could it be that it doesnt support in and out at the same time?
Again I had similar problems. If you're using RS meter, note that it has a mono input, and if your soundcard has a stereo input, it won't work until you connect a stereo jack to your computer and receive only mono to the RS meter (one of both inputs shoud be working). This is of course to be after soundcard calibration step. Iam also assuming you computer soundcard has line out and line in.

Any help on how to get going in the most basic of instructions would be greatly appreciated.
Hope this helps a bit
