I guess you mean the SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit External USB card.

- Ensure in the Creative Speaker Settings that the "Digital Output Only" box is not checked.
- Ensure CMSS is off (green CMSS LED off - push the button on the front of the unit to turn it off if it is on).
- Select Line In/Mic In as the Rec source in the Creative Surround mixer.
- In the Creative surround Mixer Source panel ensure Wave is not muted, Line-In/Mic-In is muted.
- Ensure monitoring is off (click the + by the Line In/mic In symbol in the Source panel and ensure Monitor is not checked in the Advanced Controls dialogue this pops up (or run the Creative Device Control program and ensure Enable Monitoring not checked).
- In the Creative Device Control program set the Output Audio Quality to 48kHz, 16 bits and ensure you select 48kHz as the sample rate in REW.
- In the Creative EAX Console make sure Audio Effects is not enabled, Equalizer is not enabled etc.
- If a dialogue pops up that says to hear audio you must enable monitoring, click Cancel on the dialog.
- By default the Wizard sets the output level to 0.5 while setting measurement level, for the SB Live! it is typically better to set output level to 1.000, otherwise can struggle to get sufficient input level - if you find this, use the Master Control in the Creative Surround Mixer to increase the volume to 100% at the point in Setting Measurement Level where the Wizard pops up a message saying that it is about to generate a pink noise signal at -20dB
