That's the question will the sound blaster audigy 2 Zs work or will I have to invest in a sound blaster live? in the REW?

Is it this one:

or this one:

If it's either of those, I believe it will work, as both seem to have a line-in input. If you are using PCMCIA card, I believe the input is described as a mic/line-level input, so you will have to select it to be line-level in your software. Anyway, that's the big deal -- does it have a line-level input? And it appears from my quick research on the web that both of those do, so you should be OK.

What I

've found so far is the soundbaster audigy is digital out and the soundblaster live analog out. I have audigy ,will digitol out work in setting up rew?

As OTTO says........... which model is it???

You can use digital out, but you can't create a soundcard calibration file, which makes the results less accurate...

Hi Bob,

I believe both have analog outs. The non-laptop model lists its outputs at 7.1 and coax S/PDIF. I believe the PCMCIA card listed it as having a 1/8" jack that serves as both analog and optical out. I think it will work for you. Using digital out won't be the end of the world, but, as brucek correctly points out, you won't be able to do a sound card cal.

I have an Audigy 2 ZS and it works fine with REW.

Heres the response. -1db @ 10hz

-3.4 @ 5hz

Jerm357, How do you have this setup with the PCMCIA card...
I would like to use this as well, so I don't have a bunch of chords and pieces running around... I'll be buying a Galaxy CM140 to get this going as well...

Not sure about PCMCIA. Im using the normal Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS PCI card. It looks like this..........

ahhh ... is anyone using a PCMCIA card for REW...?

I wanted to have a nice neat package without all those extra parts hanging out...
