Can't get any output using REW Please HELP!!

[Julien43]

You guys must get tired of troubleshooting a bad set-up!!

I can not get any output when I try to set the Measurement Level in REW

I'm trying to get the signal to my pre amp so I can get a measurement of my mains speaker bass response

What is strange is that when I shut down the computer with everything set to do this, the system "shut down" wave is heard through the correct mains speaker

I know I have something wrong, but can't figure out what it is

I have chose "Speaker" for output. I have also left it at the default
"choose output"

I have no idea where to look next

Thanks much
Julien

Why? Choose your soundcard from the selection given.

Like this:

Bruce "Choose your soundcard from the selection given."

Yes Bruce, That is what I have done. I just meant to state that I had tried both "Speaker" and "choose output" from the drop down underneath where I had selected my soundcard

Can you post a picture of REW like I have done and also a picture of your mixer settings...

[Julien43]

Here they are

And when you get to the final step in the Set Measurement Level do you see the picture below with the VU meter showing green, and the Wave at 1.000 and Output at 0.500 and able to adjust the level to something like -12dB as shown? Yet there is no signal going to your receiver?

The one thing that is different is that the output goes to 0.501. No test signal is sent to my pre-amp
If I shut down the computer I do hear the "System Shut-down" tones through the proper speaker

Which sure tells us that the cable is correct...

How about the Windows mixer when REW is running. Does the playback mixer look like this for Volume and Wave (unmuted and with the same Volume shown in REW)? In fact, raising and lowering the slider should reflect on the REW picture I showed before. Clicking the Mutes will reflect in REW too?

The settings are the same and they are reflected (when altered) in REW
There are some minor differences

I have no more ideas. makes no sense. Everything seems OK.

I'll send John a note and see if he has any ideas.....
