    I am new to testing speakers and setting them up in a room and have a few questions. These are based on using the miniDSP UMIK-1, a cheap(ish) Acer 5742G Laptop and Windows 7 for testing purposes: When using the UMIK-1 will it work with "any" USB ports or must the be of a particular spec? I...

    Newbie question... Trying to get an introductory test of REW and am seeing if I can use my Audyssey Multi EQ microphone (mono 3.5mm jack output) as a first pass. Based on some threads, it seems it should be possible. My laptop (HP Stream X360) has the standard 3.5 headset/mic jack, but I...

    I'm a newbie to REW and am following the manual "Getting Started with REW" (Rev 3.9 Oct 21, 2014). Page 8 states to connect an HDMI cable between the receiver and laptop. I tried doing that between a 3 year old HP Windows 7 laptop and a Denon 4520 receiver, but the laptop did not recognize the...

    Obviously I do not want to spend more money on a laptop than I did my Onkyo 809. If I was to make the purchase can anyone recommend one that will not break the bank or flatten my wallet more than it already is? The main reason for the laptop would be for REW. Just trying to keep it as cheap as...

I have a 10+ year old Bose Lifestyle AV28 receiver that goes out to the paired Acoustimass PS-28 subwoofer (which has the RCA connections to all 5 double-cube speakers). The input to the receiver is an optical cable that is...

    Hi my old XP laptop has no adjustment for the sample rate 44.1, 48khz in Sound (playback and record) in control panel. I use a UMIK mic. Is this a problem? If i had a outboard Pre/soundcard and XLR mic would this be a problem or solve this? Thanks in advance

    I'm new to REW, so a quick question or two: I've got several older laptops (3-4 yrs) around and was hoping to use these as they are fairly small/portable. 1) In "Calibrating" the sound card, how does REW know if the FR errors it is experiencing (with the loop-through cable, during calibration)...

    I'm sure this has been asked and answered but I could not find the answer with searches. I have a laptop which is running Windows XP. The laptop has a headphones jack that doubles as a mini-optical output. I have a usb microphone (UMM-6; calibrated from Cross Spectrum Labs). I do have a 3.5...

    The authorities state that the time is now for a new laptop for our family. My 9 y/o HP laptop is officially too slow to run any programs so we need a new one. We have a PC desktop that I am setting up for use for the HTPC, so I'm thinking a PC for the laptop again. I will use it to get on...

    Hi all, Dumb question but I can't figure out how to create a loopback connection on a Dell or Lenovo laptop with internal soundcards. Is some wiring connection needed? I recently bought a UMM-6 USB mike and downloaded latest beta REW which I think is compatible with USB mikes. Really looking...
