It always indicates the error "very low signal level"

Hopefully you have the loopback cable in place and are using the correct splitter adapters.

Are you observing any input VU meter level at all?

Is my sound card not good enough?

No, it should be fine.

You're not getting any signal into the line-in.

When you examine the Windows Record Mixer (assuming XP), is the line-in selected and unmuted? I'm not referring to the Playback Line-in (which should be muted).

I'm using windows vista.

OK.

Usually Vista won't allow REW selection to the soundcard (as in XP) and so you must have the card selected as Default in Windows.


The Windows devices menus for Record and Playback should show the line-in muted for playback and unmuted for recording as show in the example jpgs below.

If that's all fine, then you have a problem likely with the cabling or stereo adapter you are using to break out the right and left channels.

Can you show me a jpg of your REW Settings page?

Should I be using mono jacks instead?

No, you need a stereo adapter that splits the signal into its left and right channel, so you can calibrate and use the right channel.

Sizes are too big

Just use a graphics program to reduce them to ~800 wide for posting.

What software do you use to capture the screen images anyway?

Windows Paint is the easiest. Simply select whatever application you want captured on the screen with your cursor and then press Alt plus PrtScr keys. This saves the image on the Windows clipboard.

Start Paint and paste the clipboard into it and save as a jpg file.

Well, everything looks fine, so you've stumped me on this one. It simply looks like the line-in is not working, for some reason. I have no idea.
