Hello, I am trying to set up REW on my PC with a UMIK-1 and I am getting an error stating 'the soundcard did not provide any input data from microphone' when I try to use the SPL meter to calibrate the level according to the setup instructions on the mini dsp website. After a few seconds I get the error message shown below. How do I fix this?

I do not have the Intel SmartSound driver others have mentioned that they disabled as a solution. Everything appears to be set up correctly. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I am using optical out from my pc to a cambridge evo 150 and have a windows 11 pc.

Try selecting the WASAPI Exclusive driver as the input device (device name starting EXCL), also try changing the Windows default recording device to something other than the UMIK.

Thanks, I am going to troubleshoot this over the weekend here. I changed the default recording device to Sonic Studio Virtual Mixer in the Windows Settings. Here are my settings in Preferences and I am still getting the same error below right after hitting the red record button and having the Generator playing

Check the microphone access in the Windows Privacy settings to make sure desktop apps are allowed mic access.

Doesn't look like it. I tried to record audio w/ it in the Sound Recorder App and it sees the mic, but doesn't record anything.

OK, so looks more like a mic or driver issue. Worth trying a short USB cable to rule the cable out. ASUS laptops tend to have a microphone noise cancelling feature in the myAsus utility, should check if that or any other settings in there are having an effect.

I tried two more cables and shorter ones and no luck. I downloaded the myasus app and didn't see anything there related to audio.
