Just disconnect the speakers and do the sub only when setting up the BFD. Once the sub is equalized, then add the mains to check the interaction around the crossover area. Tweak to fix this if there's a problem. Always have the receiver in stereo mode with crossovers enabled.

Please post your graphs for the sub with a horizontal axis of 15Hz to 200Hz. Your vertical axis is correct.

See how your response is basically a mirror image of the microphone calibration file? You have a soundcard internal loopback monitor enabled. Turn it off.

Re: Pics


Somewhere in the Creative Audio Mixer application will be an enable monitor or "what you see is what you get" selection..

Re: Pics


Hi Marco,

The problem is you have selected "What U Hear" as the input, this is just an internal soundcard loopback used for monitoring the output. You need to select the Line in, also make sure CMSS and any other effects are turned off.

Re: Pics


CMSS will not have been the reason for no signal from Line In, would more likely be something wrongly set in the Creative Mixer or with the external connections. Best post a screenshot of the Creative Mixer after REW has started up so we can see whether it looks right.

Re: Pics


You have the same mirror curves as I did until brucek put me right.

You must use Line In and try to set your soundcard to the illustrations in the help files.

The help files are above the BFD-REW forum threads.

Click on the Creative volume/mixer symbol on the bottom of your screen.

Select mixer then check that you have Line in set and not What you hear.

In my Creative mixer pop-up screen the Line in setting is on the right.

What you hear is printed on its side and difficult to spot unless you know what you are looking for.

Re: Pics


The Creative Mixer shot in the pdf looks like it only has the replay sources, there should be a similar panel for the input sources? Another possibility is that on some creative mixers you have to unmute line in on the replay panel, so both wave and line in are not muted, worth trying that. Also worth using the option in the REW Soundcard menu to generate a debug file and attach that.
