I’m needing some help getting set up with REW. I have been starting to read and learn how to use REW this week. I’m currently reading the AV Nirvana REW Step-by-Step Guide v 6.5 from Dec 31, 2022 written by Austin Jerry. I’m not sure if some things have changed or maybe don’t apply any longer, but I have a few questions with set up while navigating the
GUIDE.
I am running windows 11, and currently have the UMM-6 mic. (I have a UMIK-1 on order)
On the REW Soundcard page, I am having an issue with my Output showing “Not Connected”
Under Hardware and Devices/Sound, I have MY AVR X4700h selected by default. On pg. 26 of the guide, it says to install the ASIO4ALL Software. I did this, but when I select AISO for the driver, it won’t find any devices. I am able to see my PC desktop on my TV display.
On the REW soundcard page, when I change the driver to Java, my AVR appears in the Output Device List. Should I assume it's not a connection issue with my AVR since I’m able to see my AVR when switching over to Java? Does it maybe have something to do with the AISO driver I downloaded? This is all new to me so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this.
Should I not have downloaded the ASIO4ALL software? I read online that the ASIO4ALL was used on an older version of REW to help with multi-channel measurements. Do I want to be able to do multi-channel measurements? I'm not even sure what running measurements looks like at this point or the options surrounding them. I have no knowledge yet of how to run or set up REW. My hope is to learn how to take measurements and improve the sound in my room. I'm spending a few hours every day reading guides and educating myself so I can eventually understand running measurements. Should I only be running JAVA and forget about the ASIO4ALL? I am not sure which direction to go. I just want to make sure I am setting everything correctly from the start
In this post in the
AVS forum, there is discussion about this, but there are downloads and advice that confuses me with my limited current knowledge on this topic. Please help
