Feedback from my Radioshck sound level meter

[AVDavid]

Hi my first post

I've tried a couple of computers now one with an audigy soundcard the other with an audigy2 soundcard and initially I did not have a feedback problem but now when I connect up the meter I get feedback, I don't really know what I've changed since the first measurements.
Can anyone help?

You have the soundcard in monitor mode. This is a feature that most soundcards allow so you are able to hear what you record. You need to disable this feature in the soundcards software. Every manufacturer calls it something different, but it results in the line-in not being muted in playback. See below how mine is muted... in the windows playback mixer. In windows record mixer, it is enabled of course..

For Audigy 2 make sure "Record Without Monitoring" is checked in the advanced controls (accessed by clicking on the red + in the Audigy mixer.

Here's how to setup the Audigy:

Hi that worked fine just for future users I found I needed to set reverb etc to 0% as well, but Ive got some decent measurements now
