I'm having a tough time trying out the ETF software on my Win98SE/Create Soundblaster Audigy setup. So three questions:
1. Does someone have an updated link to a help guide from an HTF member that was mentioned several times in the past but which seems broken? The link is/was www27.brinkster.com/jmag999/
2. Does someone have a link to a RadioShack SPL/mic calibration file?
3. My most complicated question: I can't seem to set the mixer properly. First, the built-in mixer that comes with the ETF 5.x software (a beta, I guess) doesn't work. I get an error message and there are no choices in the mixer dialog box. When I switch to the default mixers, I try to set it to correspond with the help. I run from line out to line in on both the left and right channels, with standard a/v cables. But I cannot pass the step of the setup where I run the sound level check with and without connections established. Whichever way I set the mixer, either there is no sound (i.e. like -79db) on both the left and right channels or some amount (e.g. -2 db) that responds to the setting of the recording level on the mixer. However, in the cases where I get a measurable db level, it does not go away when I unplug the connection between the line out and the line in of the card! It could be "leakage" inside the card, as the help file implies, but I have the feeling it is rather an incorrect mixer setting. Can someone tell me specifically what to select and what to mute for the Audigy/Win98SE? I've played around a lot and nothing seems to work.
Thanks!
